Ribbons tend to have the most REAL..she is in my room singing to me sound IMO. I have a pair of small speakers that use 26 inch ribbon midrange, I've yet to hear a cone that can compete, I think ribbons have a added depth that gives notes a more rounded picture in the soundstage. This depth along with the speed with which the ribbons bring forth all wind/brass/horn/stringed types of insturments is always an amazement that I never tire of.
