Newform research

I remember back in 1999-2002 all the buzz was about these ribbon/dynamic hybrids. What's happened to them? I know they're in business. I'm thinking of putting together a system for the basement. It would not be up to my reference rig but, that said it would be nice to have two great rigs for a change up from time to time. Anybody have any knowledge of them and how they compare to Maggies or Apogees? Also thought about some Eminent Technology LFT 8Bs. What's your opinion please? Thanks in advance.

I had a pair of Newform 645's. Compared to the Maggies and Apogees I owned prior the Newforms didn't hold a candle. The Maggies and Apogees were detailed, natural, neutral and rendered wonderful soundstages. The Newforms had a
good soundstage, clean top end and the bass was lacking in
comparison to the Maggies and Apogees. I will not buy Newforms again. I sold them to a guy in the ATL area and he appeared to be happy.
