| Ribbon tweeters...out of favor these days? I use raal 140-15d amorphous core ribbon in our new KCS x-2 loudspeaker. I used Ravens in the past but the RAAL a good step up and the amorphous core alows tube amps to run them very well. Ribbons can be great sounding transducer. | |

| SET the best? I use SET PP SS designs tried most everything. I enjoy good SS and SET amplifiers but for SET get the right loudspeakers or not so nice. With the right designed loudspeaker a SET can produce deep detailed bass much SPL with low distortion. But lou... | |
