RE: "Homogeneous" sound effects of certain speakers

Please tell me how it is that ribbons sound "homogeneous" it is one of the least colored driver types you can have. It is uniformly driven while being completely immersed in a magnetic field. Response is almost as instantaneous as a plasma tweeter or electrostatic tweeter. Very low moving mass with no obvious resonances (the same is not true for Planar magentic drivers though).

So, virtually no coloration unless driven too low in frequency. Homogeneity comes from resonances that are the same no matter what the music because they are result of excitation and then resonance from inherent driver/box properties.

The purest sounding recordings I have heard were made with ribbon microphones, which truly revealed tonal shadings like one hears live.
