*S* The only grandmother I knew spoke not a word of english....only bohemian (Czech)....the only word she'd utter that I'd recognize was 'coffee'. which later I realize was 'cafe'.....but I recognized her in my mothers' manner.....
...but lived, worlds' away in mid-'Merica, more a parental force than in mine. We all come to terms with 'Life, the Universe, and Everything' in our own means 'n method....;)
Vertical aligned ribbons...the taller the element, the more important this becomes imho....the dispersion has similarities to expo horns, but that's where they go their own ways....
More familiar with dipole ribbons, but once bipolar always such. *G*
Happily flawed...;)
Just my prefs, but 3 G1 spaced *mmm* 6" apart on a minimalist column 'bout 2.5' floor to bottom...finding woofs that can match ribbon 'speed' is the tricky bit....
Dual voice coil units are promising, but kept to 6" dia.best....8"+ will lag, physics 'n mass, class. Subs to taste...
I've grown tired of large cabinetry that I have to threaten the cats with a Chinese Resolution to keep paws 'n claws from, so have wandered off into minimalist wanderlands...
Small footprint, big impression-makers....a little above 5 'n dime, but there's satisfaction in that....
...as the 'ancient ad' used to pose:
"Where do you want to go today?"
...when it's all about the journey, not so much a destination....*s*
