I remember the Coleridge well - absolutely magical sounding mid and top but they did not suite Rock music well for some reason I could never quite identify but may well have been the bass timing being a bit off. I'm sure they used some type of ceramic tweeter, not metal, it was bloody good though.

My Celestions use a titanium dome that is not at all sharp or harsh despite what HFW said in their review (if you are reading this Mr Price) but it does give a 'generic' sounding top that is a little disappointing on occasion and is the main reason I will have to be 'moving on' 'speaker-wise at some point. The tweeters on my neighbour's Ruark Talismans are far better - they are some sort of soft dome.
