Is that a seas tweeter? Is it better than the ribbon in the old designs?

Looks like the Scan-speak AirCirc (6600), Rick's been using it a lot in recent designs (SS dipole, Garnet, etc.)

Scan-Speak AirCirc tweeter. It's really a matter of preference and I could live with either one.

Would I be right in guessing that ribbons are more detailed and dome tweeter better integrates with the woofer?

I consider driver integration to be a specialty of mine and I wouldn't say that the dome is better in that regard. Without comparing them side-by-side I can't really comment on the differences; however, I will say that you can't go wrong with either design. I would invite anyone to compare these with the current darling 2-way of the high end press.

Seems like you're putting together a lot of Scan-Speak loudspeakers lately Rick, must be you like their sound? Just happens to be my favorite driver for portraiting the emotional aspects of the music.

Cheers,
Robin

Very clean and neutral drivers plus good detail.

No it's not that speaker but I will say that spending that much to upgrade a budget speaker is foolish. If it were me I would put the extra $ into better drivers.

I'm guessing Usher Be-718.

In the interest of not starting a flame war I'll not mention what speaker I had in mind.

Yes, a kit will be available. Just send me an email with your shipping address and I can give you a quote. You can also purchase the cabinets precut in cherry (pictured here), maple, and black ash.
