I currently own speakers with ribbon tweeters and am moving away from this driver type as they always seem to be problematic in certain ways that I find increasingly irritating. Avanti mentioned artifacts and I think he is spot on and I have never heard a ribbon type of high frequency driver that didnt display some unreal sounding artifacts that detract from the obvious advantages of this driver type. Many of these more "exotic" drivers force the designer into a bit of a corner regarding crossover methodology. I would caution you to listen at length with a diverse amount of program material before buying. I also would suspect that a stout current based amp would be better than most tube type amplifiers. I have only heard this speaker at shows and have never had a pair in my room. I didnt really like them the various times I have heard them at shows. FWIW.
