If you were choosing a tweeter as part of an active three way system
handling 3 kHz up, which one would you go for? Mid range is rated at 80w,
bass 100w. Mustn't be delicate. ;-)

Sounds like you need a T27 - if they still exist, of course.

Power is a silly, near useless spec for high range units, better ask what
SPL the unit can produce without catching fire. Anyway ... I think you
should look at the Dynaudio product range when you say that powerhandling is
a concern.

Kind regards

They were a pretty standard partner to the T110, so yes. The thing
about tweeter power is that in music it is almost entirely impulsive
- transients from cymbals and struck instruments. So an average power
rating doesn't mean too much.
