RE: "ribbon reproduction of upper midrange lower treble"

McDonald's is popular is my counter to that though.

Personally I find much of the high end desperately trying to be competitive and with so many having the attention spans of gnats you have to impress people in seconds on the showroom floor. Boom and sizzle stands out.

The above is purely devil's argument. It's up to you at the end of the day how you perceive the ribbon or the ribbon planar. But virtually 100% of every speaker that comes out gets raves by someone. I have not met too many audiophiles who love every speaker or design.

If I really loved a speaker with a ribbon I would have bought one. I have heard most of the Maggie's since around 1995 and three Apogee models. I have auditioned a lot of ribbon dynamic hybrids and reviewed one of the better integrated ones. I still keep my ears open.
