That is an interesting speaker but not the right direction.
I am looking for a narrow tower with high eff.(>>95) and particularly strong bass - punchy for her pop rock music and deep for scifi and horror shows. If that seems like a difficult thing to find you would be where I am.
Follow Ups:
High efficiency, strong bass, and small size do not come together simultaneously unless you can change the laws of physics. And if you do that you could probably conjure up the sound field in air all on your own and don't need audio equipment.
Personally, I would give up on the super high-efficiency and go for something with a built-in powered sub, like the GoldenEars.
The power demands on the non-sub part might be pretty low. Triton tower one is rated at 92db by mfgr, whatever that may mean.
That is a good idea, thanks. Though it makes the tube integrated I had in mind less functional for madam (who does prefer tubes for her rock/pop). It might work since she does not listen that loudly, will have to work it out. The Tritons are attractively narrow.
This is actually close to my original concept for this purpose of a neo8pdr line on top of a Dayton Titanic powered sub. The project was too expensive for a second system.
First thing that pops in my mind are the Klipsch tower line; a whopping 98db jobber.Can't say I've ever heard them; Also a bit off-topic for this forum since it's neither a planar or ribbon.

I heard speakers from this line and was not impressed, there is something wrong with their tonal balance. The Paladium series reviews well but are very expensive.
The 10" ones were better tonally but would probably not make it into the room due to their width.
You are right, not on topic, was just an opportunity to hear an opinion from a planar guy as to what horn to pick.
