That is from an old audiogon ad.
They are pretty much as good as it gets in midrange/treble but require transformers since they are pure ribbons IIRC.
They were a Harry Pearson favorite.
This seller has been constructing Frankenpans from multiple source components from EMITS and EMIMS from old Infinities to these Monsoon and Strathern hybrids. The Original concept dates back to Harry Pearson's mating of Tympani bass panels with ML CLS, and his suggestion of using IRS mid/treble units with T bass. It also follows the tradition from Mark Levinson's day of assembling stacked Quads with Decca Ribbons and Hartley woofers.
There is no reason to doubt the potential of these builds. This just continues an old tradition of planar custom designs. I am sure some work with a designer for fabric covers will benefit the appearance.
