Ribbon midrange pros and cons


Ribbon tweeters are fairly common on some high end speakers. ...they sound great.....can anyone tell me why ribbon midranges are hardly ever used by some of the best speaker companies. ..what are the pros and cons?

Don't confuse tweeters like Infinity, Amt, ect ect for true ribbon tweeters like on Magneplanars, Apogees ect ect 
True ribbons are the closest you will get to ESL's, and ESL's are the closest you will get to Plasma. (it's all about mass "diaphragm" weight)
