Compression driver tweeter

I was attempting to catalog a list of any compression driver that was mentioned favorably. I found it interesting that some people liked some drivers much better than the expensive TAD drivers. The horns I've listened to have a sonic footprint to them. But they are so dynamic and image so well my hope was that there was something out there that was equal to or better than the best cone drivers.

I realize that the horn that you mate your compression driver with is about as important as the driver itself. It occurs to me that since horns are generally made to produce good sound at db, that they are in a way over-engineered for reproducing sound at say 80db in a home.

If you want high tech for cheap look at a Peavey 22R they beat Altec to the punch with that one in the early 's it has a deep drawn aluminum one piece former diaphragm and a half round Mylar suspension long travel high damping.

Want a higher quality version of that driver look at the EV DH which is a serious driver by today's standards. Either driver mentioned make the Klipsch model seen here look like a toy. Yup compression driver.

Just somewhat lower compression than some of the drivers on the market. Maybe less throat problems because of that for home use. The horn looks strange because I applied an 11 oz tube of Silicon caulk asymmetrically to damp it. I believe the weighs about 11 pounds, the neo magnet K weighs about 4 pounds. The sound is close between the two but I think the is a little more smooth in the mid range and is the one in my CF-4's. Does the pointed piece on the end work like a phase plug in a way?

Just on the very outside of the driver? Outside of the driver? The phase plug is inside the driver that point is in the middle of the throat of the horn.
