Well now, I was about to build something just like this, almost a cheaper DXT mon if you will, but it's good to hear some feedback on the idea. Guess I will pass.
I experimented several popular, highly regarded tweeters before like the famous Scan-Speak D3004/6600 AirCirc for example but I was not happy with any of them (I mean how they sounded in the complete system). Recently I tried that cheap, wg loaded Dayton soft dome and wow, one of the best tweeter that I've ever heard. I would choose this over the soft dome SS AirCirc any day.

Just try to find a cleaner waterfall or sonogram plot above 2 kHz amongst the tweeters on the site below! You won't succeed.

The Dayton tweeter costs about $20, and at that price it's really hard to point out any flaws. If someone wants to build a low-cost project like the DXT-Mon, I can recommend this Tweeter.

I built an even slightly larger monitor, with two Sba midwoofers and the same Dayton. A dozen people listened to the project and were impressed by how such cheap speakers can offer sound at a very decent level.
