And here's some speculation on my part.
The newer ribbon might not be significantly superior to the old ribbon but by using a narrower ribbon the material costs should be less, although not by much. It also eliminated the need for a 1 ohm resistor which definitely reduced costs not only for the resistor but also for labor. I suspect the narrower ribbon would have less sensitivity (move less air) but this would be compensated by not ẅasting 3.5 db as heat in the resistor. Theoretically, the sound should be better as Rg (all the resistance in the speaker circuit not attributed to the driver itself) is never your friend.
