I did a test of harmonic distortion for the new XT25 double
magnet tweeter to see how it compares to the single magnet
XT25. The advantages of this tweeter are shielding from the
extra magnet, higher sensitivity, and great odd order harmonic
distortion performance. Although the Vifa D26 holds its own
from 2k on up. Any of these tweeters are a good choice. During
the sweeps the double magnet XT25 sounded the least harsh- in
subjective terms.

Pictured above and below was an experiment with swapping
motors and dome assemblies from the Seas DXT waveguide
tweeter and the Seas 27TBFCG tweeter. On the upper left we
have the stock DXT tweeter performance. On the left is the
27TBFCG dome assembly on the DXT motor assembly. On the
lower left we have the DXT dome assembly on the Seas
27TBFCG motor, which suggests the lowest harmonic distortion
from 2k on up is obtained with this combination.
