>They (Focal Tweeters) do NOT "nice up" things like most Softdomes do.
You meant that 9900 is more "pleasant to ears"? I do feel that 9900 are much more "friendly" but somehow, lack in sharpness or accuracy.

The crispy sound from metal dome tweeters is a bit "frightening." I got this impression from LPG tweeters. But it might be my crappy amp I was using then.

What about 9800?? It uses aluminum. I know SS fans seldom use this T.

You make me feel like Lowther Drivers or good full range drivers are much better than most drivers out there. I don't know too much about Full range drivers. Why don't most people use them? I can't find any full range drivers used in high-end speakers from Stereophile's recommendation list? personal taste?

What is the weakness of full range drivers?

Any example? What is the sonic problem?

>Goodmans Axiom 80. Reps. Phy-Hp.
Where can I find more info and details about these drivers?

Hearing is believing. I may have a chance to hear some full range drivers in Chicago.
