I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology
Yeah, if you ignore the shape, material, impedance. flow of current, source of opposing force and radiation pattern, I guess you are right, it’s a ribbon.  
What is wrong here.. on Audiogon?
Amps with meters is an Erik S thread he is a Legend(in his own mind)thats why so many people respond. I'm going to go get my health screening, because I have a feeling it is going to be many many years before @ebm wakes up to realize the logical ...

+1 @tomcy6 A big plus to responders who give detailed explanations for their recommendations. They make it a lot easier to tell if they are recommending a result you want.  
Artwork And Acoustic Foam
Sort of. You’d end up making that surface more reflective, but may still benefit from low frequency absorption. If you insist on keeping your framed art, mix them with high performance panels. Cheap egg crate foam kind of sucks. Strongly suggest y...

An AMT is not a ribbon. In a ribbon the moving part is entirely conductive, and very low impedance so much that they usually require a matching transformer. In an AMT the conductor is longer, much thinner and attached to a moving membrane which pr...

Hello OP: I ask a legitimate question about help on picking a preamp for my Pass Labs amp. I get maybe 10 responses. First, I sincerely and genuinely hope you get good advice and end up with a match that you love. I'm sincerely sorry I don't know...

You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss
Hey @georgehifi So lets talk about integrity. Meaning, you have standards you hold others accountable to the same degree you hold yourself to. You are in every thread about people enjoying Class D and tell them that they can’t be enjoying class D.... 
Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers
Hey @m-db so what electronics did you end up pairing those Eidolons with? @audioman58  Interesting!! I'll have to see if I can have a listen sometime.  
You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss
There's no one more transparently biased than you, @GeorgehifiWhile I ask questions and respect people's experience, you absolutely can't stand that people are happy with amps you don't like. Isn't there a happy Class D thread somewhere you need t... 
You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss

Does your system hate you when you ignore her?
OP: Others have independently confirmed the Class D warm up issue. It's a real thing, though I have no explanation for it. Best,E
