Anyone using a Class D amp w/ribbon tweeters?


I'm looking for some feedback about using a Class D amp 
with speakers that use ribbon tweeters. 

Anyone have any experience? How do they sound?

At least 3-4 years ago I was still believing that ribbon tweeters 
were not a good mix with Class D b/c of the sibilance it produced from the tweeters.

But now we have gone from ICE modules to NCore, Pascal, etc 
and other proprietary designs (Dig Amp Co) that may not be so bright, digital etch, etc

Anyone know about using more modern Class D amps with 
ribbon tweeters while having better control of the high frequencies?
Thanks

Igraber2 the c5i is had to fault. Simply wonderful. About the size of a shoebox. 60 watts perfect for my second system. If it just had more watts I would put it in my main system and just forget all the separate components. My main system is ARC sp 16 pre to Bel Canto ref1000m Class D amps to large OHM Walsh speakers with 12" driver that love power and current.

If the c5i did not work out I was going to go tube amp.   Never happened.   I've had the c5i for a few years now.  
I’ve heard sibilance in some recordings over the years , and I hear no top end sibilance produced by the Bel Canto ref1000m.

The BEl Canto c5i is a newer model and the top end on that is perhaps the most relaxed of any amp I have owned.

In practice, I find fears of Class D deficiencies these days are totally unfounded. i will likely only go with Class D amps moving forward as needed. At one point I considered tube amps but Class D amps put an end to that need, though I still like tube amps as well especially if well matched to rest of system, but I do not like the additional cost of ownership due to maintenance, etc. In teh end I’d rather spend as much time as possible just listening to the music and Class D enables that very well.
Should sound great with any modern good quality Class D amp. Try it and see.
