Amps? Speakers? More info please. 
Best budget preamp for Aragon 8008bb and Thiel 3.6
If you have source(s) with 1.5V or more and low output impedance (<200), which would be most SS CDPs, try a Promitheus TVC. I prefer XLR with passives, but then the source would have balanced outputs.

ribbon tweeters for genesis 300
GAT would be able to help but can be very expensive.VMPS is the only other make that used those tweeters but not anymore. Still, Brian might be able to steer you in the right direction. If so, let me know.
