LOL, and ouch re blowing your transistors.
Paradoxically, I think I'd worry less about blowing the ribbon tweeters than the quasi ribbons, since they can easily be replaced. But I think that even with an amp that's clipping, the tweeters are unlikely to blow if you use the right fuse. My Hafler used to hard clip sometimes into the 1-D's, and I used to blow fuses periodically without harm (to the speakers, anyway, not sure about my neighbors or ears).
Still not sure what I'll use to drive the tweeters -- I'm assuming now A-21 on the bass, Benchmark on the mids . . .
