I wondered if anyone is aware of a comparison between these two tweeters?
XT25BG60 (Ferrite)
XT25SC90 (Neo)
I'm designing a speaker with a merged midrange and tweeter waveguide and was going to use the XT25SC90 because it can place closer to the midrange driver (and I know it's a good tweeter) but doing my simulations it's actually difficult to squeeze the mid and high waveguides that close together without affecting the dispersion pattern. If I were to space the waveguides further apart I'd have room for a larger tweeter body so I was wondering if there is a quality advantage (lower distortion) to using the XT25BG60?

Fe version has larger back volume, so lower Fs and more linearity in 800 Hz-5 kHz region and flatter impedance. Makes designing passive XO simpler. Unfortunately, both have a meager Xmax of 0.1 mm, which precludes low crossover, but with dome midrange this is irrelevant. Fe sensitivity is 2 dB higher. Distorion significantly lower ( https://hificompass.com/en/speakers/measurements/peerless/peerless-xt25sc90-04 vs. https://hificompass.com/en/speakers/measurements/vifa/vifa-xt25bg60-04 )
So yes, there is quality advantage.
