If I were to place importance on elements of a horn system, the tweeter would be dead last. I'd spend the majority of time getting the upper-bass and midrange right. There's hardly any real music 10k Hz+. It's mostly overtones. Yes. A bad tweeter can make a system sound mechanical and unnatural. Visiting audio shows, it seems that some people actually like a heavy sizzle sound with a hockey stick bump above 8,500 Hz. For me, I don't want to even notice the tweeters. They should blend in. They should make the midrange sound more natural and take over in the break-up. There are a lot of great tweeters out there that achieve this. I happen to have the RAAL Lazy Ribbons (with amorphous cores) in my 5-way horn system. I'm really happy with them and I have little desire to change to something else. My only complaint is that in a multi-way horn system, they take up over 9" of precious vertical space (you can see in the picture that space is tight). Sound-wise they fit my criteria. They have a very natural non-metalic sound. They "complete" the midrange. The output can be configured to match the efficiency of other drivers by dialing in the impedance. Just consider your vertical and your horn placement configuration before going with the RAALs.
