Yep your right the 2"paper tweeter is suppose to be far inferior to the newer domed type - every spec sheet on the planet will agree with you. Then why don't these upper end mass market ported speakers of today sound better than the entry level ported speakers of 30 years ago? I suppose for the same reason a $1000 analog setup will usually smoke a much more expensive digital rig. Specs ain't all that - but thats another posting.
As far as blowing away the ESS speakers ... yeah my Soundlabs and Quads seem to do that pretty well. But I think it a shame when you need to spend high end dollars (though maybe not to the Soundlab and Quad level) today to beat out the entry level or lower midfi sound of 30 years ago.
