Hey guys. What's the difference? I believe the alum is supposed to be more crisp & the silk is supposed to be more natural sounding... or do I have it backwards? Lol. I forget so any help is appreciated!

Aluminum tend to be more harsh, but will get louder(you can fix a bit of the harshness mounting em off axis, and silk will have a warmer or natural sound as you say, however off the same power as a comparable aluminum tweet will probably not be as loud.

You would tend to go with Silk for a SQ store(Or a horn), and Aluminum if you had alot of Db's to keep up with.

All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

YOU THE ONE THAT SOUND LIKE A OGER AND HUMPBACK/TROLLS?

some sq judges like alum tweets better... being metal they reproduce metal instruments better like a bang on a triangle were a silk dome would make it softer

for me i cant stand metal tweets period and have silk domes that can keep up with 150+ dbs

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

I agree, I hate metal dome tweeters. That said I have listened to some in a home set up that did sound great but were $$.

Off topic, but what silk tweeter are you running to keep up with 150+? Multiple sets?

Sorry OP to take this off topic.
