The MTS already uses what many would consider the best dome tweeter available, so I can't see how the LTS can use a better dome tweeter in a "simple" 3 way. Odds are they will try a line array with ribbons, a dipole, or something else exotic.

A little offtopic, Steve what speakers are you running now?

I use all Boston Acoustic Reference speakers with VR3s as my mains.

I don't know Steve. I don't see svs changing its speaker philosophy to something that out there.

They may not need to update tweeter but instead add some top of the line mids and woofers.

It would seem a bit odd to use the same tweeter in the mid line and upper line of speakers. I think they picked too good of a tweeter to use in the MTS line to be honest....they really can't one up it with any other dome tweeter I know of.

More expensive tweeter? Again, the ScanSpeak 6600 tweeter they are using is the best commercially available dome tweeter - it retails for common folk like me and you at $220. It digs extremely deep and is very, very low distortion. The only real way to one up it is to find a way to get the same performance at a lower cost.

The Accuton ceramic tweeter doesn't perform nearly as well as the ScanSpeak 6600. Even more expensive ScanSpeak tweeters don't perform as well as the 6600. See these test results. I'm not really concerned with which tweeter is the most expensive or uses the most exotic material, just which performs the best.
