RE: Ryan Tempus III, Devore Gibbon X, JM Reynaud Concorde Supreme or Aerial 20T

I am a big Aerial fan, and appreciate Mike Kelly's designs, but everything I have seen indicates the 10T is a lateral move, at best, from my Model 9s.
The 9s have responded to every source and amplification change/upgrade I have made over the years so, while I have been happy with them, I listed models I thought might integrate with my SS electronics and also offer an upgrade to the 9s. I want to consider the 20Ts but I keep hearing the same things about the ribbon and related off-axis energy loss. I wish Kelly offered an alternate 20T model with his conventional titanium dome tweeter, which is quite good. Do you have specific experience with the 20T to comment on the performance of the ribbon, and whether it required one to stay glued to a single listening position for HF coherence?
Other speakers that maybe should have made the list are the B&W 802D and KEF Blade 2, both of which I have heard very good things about.
Thanks for your suggestions.
