Von Schweikert DB 99-ribbon add on tweeter

My dB99's will be arriving in a couple of weeks in a custom ebony wood finish and will be eventually pictured on the VSA website. I expect the Von Schweikert dB99's with its supertweeter module addition to provide the same sonic signature of the highly acclaimed $60k VR9's in a much smaller package. The supertweeter module adds $2500 to the $10k list price of the dB99's.

Is VS coming out with one for the VR4-jr?

I have had the ribbon for several weeks. The best way
I can describe the differnce is listening to a piano
with the lid down(no ribbon) and the lid up(with ribbon).
The DB 99s and the ribbon is pretty amazing considering
the reasonable price.

I am considering trying Tonian Labs ribbon tweeter with the 99's as it has gotten good reviews (6 moons)and is less expensive than VSA's.

i'm sure they sound great, but no cloth grills to match the rest of the speaker? The db99 is a great looking speaker, and to stick a bare tweeter on top of it really takes away from the appearance. looks aren't everything i know, but at this price range a cloth grill to match the rest of the speaker isn't asking too much. i won't buy the tweeter until they start making a grill for it.
