I don't really have issues with metal tweeters. I have issues with their lack of integration with drivers that have sonic signatures that don't sound anything like metal tweeters. At some crossover point both the woofer and the tweeter are reproducing the exact same notes at the exact same time and two very dissimilar sounding drivers can be heard battling each other in my opinion. It's why so many people like single drivers and electrostats. Two way speakers (and three+ways) fail to varying degrees to sound cohesive enough. Truthfully, none of the Reference 3a speakers even under Dehay were the best at this IME which is why in direct comparisons in the same room with the same gear - I wound up with speakers that sounded a lot more neutral and cohesive in the midrange.
The issue isn't break in or room related. It is simply a preference. It's similar to my KEF LS-50 which has a metallic aftertaste in the presentation. Even though the measurements are superb and Stereophile hails them as one of the best standmounts ever made - they reside firmly in 4th place of the speakers I own. One of which is 1/3 less money.
