Another great option is these Cadence components, $89 on ebay...

Titanium tweets, tho. I've yet to hear a metal tweeter than I didn't find harsh/tinny. I prefer silk/fabric tweets as they're a lot less fatiguing on my ears. Everyone has different tastes tho.

I used to say the same thing (in fact, I have Vifa silk tweets in my own car), but lately I've been hearing some very nice sounding metal ones.

I heard the lower model Cadence components in a buddy's car and they were great, not as warm as my Vifa PL/Vifa tweets, but sharper and not fatiguing at all. I could only assume that the higher models are even nicer.The ones listed in that ebay ad retail for around $350, so its a good price if nothing else

The question is whether you've had to live with them. I've used some titanium tweets that initially sounded very crisp. After an hour commuting, I had horrible listener fatigue from them. I installed some Blau components that had metal tweets that I was actually quite pleased with. But, I didn't listen to them for a long time span to really test the listener fatigue I get with brighter tweets.

It's no be-all, end-all but I usually prefer the soft dome tweets (silk, fabric, or other synthetic materials). I'm not saying that metal can't sound good either.

I've got the Vifa Neo's/PL's too.
