Dennis,
You and I had a very similar conversation on AC a couple years ago. I made a similar statement to what I just made. You came back with a different statement than today's, but the result is the same.
It is nearly the same as my declaring purple my favorite color and your telling me blue should be my favorite color. C'mon!
Based on my personal experience listening to a few hundred different speakers over the last 4 years -
including three Salk models, I discovered that approximately 80% of the time I prefer dome tweeters. I have heard RAAL tweeters and many other manufacturers' ribbon tweeters. I expressed my
opinion. I'm not pushing it on you nor on anyone else. Please respect my opinion.
I welcome your opinion, but don't
challenge my opinion.
Here's another of my opinions: The Exotica 3 speakers are either my favorite speakers or my second favorite speakers at the ~$13k to $15k price point. I really need to hear them again to figure this out. I'm respectful enough to not mention the other manufacturer. Both speakers have dome tweeters.
I'm going to buy one or the other this year to ship to Taiwan. [This is not an opinion BTW. It's my intention.]
Rant off....no hard feelings, I hope.
Michael
