Thinking of trying a large format tweeter, and these are the ones I am considering after reading reviews etc.
Dynaudio D260 (Esotec) - I loved the sound of the MD100s but found them somewhat "dark". The D260 is suppossed to have more air. The hard part is finding a pair since they are discontinued and sellers are asking for a premium.
Usher 9950-C - Supposedly the build house reverse engineered a Scan 9500 and then made their own tweaks to the design. NP Dang's review says it sounds similar to Dynaudio tweeters. Currently on sale at PE for $50/each.
Vifa XT25 - The Zaph audio reviews have this as one of the best large format tweeters at its price point. Also better than the small format XT25SC that is used in the Polk SR servies and mid-range Alpine series. A very reasonable $50/tweeter.
Peerless 810921 HDS - (Doesn't it sound like the name of a primetime drama series in Denmark similar to Beverly Hills 90210?) - I have read many good reviews about this tweeter. Some say its better than the Usher. A little pricier at $80/each.
I am also open to suggestions for any other ones that I have missed.
