Absolute bolllocks! As with bipolars and even a select few tube amps, a good amp sounds like a good amp, i.e. it sounds like its input signal. They all sound the same, hence they don't 'complement' any particular kind of tweeter. Agreed. The ideal amp is a "straight wire with gain", and many amplifiers approximate this quite well, particularly if only reliable subjective means are used to judge. Further, there's even more ******** in your sweeping generalization that metal dome and soft dome tweeters have a characteristic sound. They don't. Agreed. While intuition might suggest that metal domes might have stronger high frequency response, the most popular dome-type tweeters with the most extended response (40 KHz & beyond) have fabric diaphragms. |
