Ribbon tweeters...out of favor these days?

Hi,

Just a quick question about ribbon tweeters on tower speakers. Has the technology with metal dome and fabric dome tweeters produced results that obviate the need for or advantage of ribbon tweeters. I know that some manufactures such as VMPS and Legacy still seem to favor ribbons, at least as a super tweeter.

But I have been researching speakers, and it seems most of the mid to upper line brands such as B&W, Thiel, Vandersteen, Eggleston, and others employ some type of dome tweeter.

What are the relative advantages/disavantages of each type for a 50/50 mix of music and home theater?

Anybody can explain the difference between the original transformer raal and the one with an amorphous core.

I curently in the buying process but I really wonder all the differences between the 3 version...

Normal, AM, DAM

for of all normal versus amorphous core
afterwards AM versus DAM??

Some say the DAM is for direct tube drive.. does this mean you need a special amp? How will it fare with a t-amp or solid state AB amp.. (those amp would need to be transformer coupled?

What type of amp would you recommend for the amorphous core?

I need the best low level listening experience.. so micro/macro details/dynamics is very important.
