RE: Going active on Tympani 1Ds

IIRC correctly, the XO is specified in the 1-D manual? I'd stick with Magenpan's spec and agree with Neolith that you should stick with 6 dB/octave, that will help maintain the seamlessness that is one of the 1-D's signature strengths, and also maintain phase coherency.

Agree too with Roger that you should raise the XO of the ribbon, you could overdrive it otherwise. And the ribbon should be as close to the mid as possible to minimize lobing at the XO point.

Really, what I would do since you have the ribbons now is get some Neo 8's and do Satie's Neo 8 mod. That would solve the problem Roger mentioned, that the 1-D's don't image precisely because of the 1100 Hz. crossover. That would be pretty amazing.
