As I understand it, the problem with the the foil midrange ribbons is that they get metal fatigue and fail. IIRC, someone from Apogee said that a high number of ribbon failures contributed to its demise. Years ago, I asked Mark Winey, and he said the same thing -- you can't make a robust one because of metal fatigue. (The Magnepan tweeter ribbons can also get it after several years if you play them at natural levels, but few people do. They last like forever at lower ones.)
