Most piezo tweeters I've heard sounded pretty bad. The Motorola 1038/1041/1056 was an exception. When CTS bought the tooling and equipment to make them, I thought quality remained good. I'm not sure that is still the case, although I heard someone else eventually bought the tools from CTS.
As much as I though the Motorola tweeters were a good value, I think the speakers are much improved now with the Vifa tweeters. The DX25 is definitely better, smoother and more refined. When I first started making these speakers, there was no soft dome tweeter with the requires sensitivity. Now that the DX25 is available, I think it's a much better part to use for a speaker like this.
