Re: outright ribbon purchase

That's the idea that suddenly hit me. I'm sure I'm crazy, but the thought of adding a true ribbon tweeter to a smaller Maggie (using the MMG drivers for bass/midrange in a 3-way design) captured my fancy. Such an implementation is bound to be loaded with complications, and 3-way passive crossovers are an order of magnitude uglier than 2-way, but I don't see why such a thing *couldn't* be done. Of course, if Magnepan requires the return of the defective ribbon, then I may as well forget it.

BTW I'm about to embark on the construction of hardwood frames to replace the MDF (I was thinking about it *before* seeing PG's, but after seeing how beautiful his are, I'm all the more motivated), and integrating another driver shouldn't be that much of a challenge - at least that's what I think right now as I'm merely conceptualizing!
