Magnepan Ribbons and Hearing Loss

Due to old age, my upper hearing is limited to only about 12-13 kHz, and of course the ribbon tweeters are capable of frequencies well beyond the human limit.

For me, are the 3.6 ribbons overkill? Or even a waste, like having a Ferrari and never driving over 45 mph?

Your thoughts?

Thanks all!

The consensus is that I probably CAN hear the Maggie ribbon. That is exactly what I wanted to hear, (no pun intended).

The Maggie is the best speaker that I have ever heard, and even with my hearing loss, I derive immense pleasure from them! I would consider everything else to be a downgrade.

Now, as for an upgrade, maybe the 20.x and a Ferrari someday...
