It's the line array configuration, to which ribbons are best suited, which accounts for their exceptional performance. Not everyone wants a 6-foot tall speaker.
Ribbon tweeters...out of favor these days?
Hi,
Just a quick question about ribbon tweeters on tower speakers. Has the technology with metal dome and fabric dome tweeters produced results that obviate the need for or advantage of ribbon tweeters. I know that some manufactures such as VMPS and Legacy still seem to favor ribbons, at least as a super tweeter.
But I have been researching speakers, and it seems most of the mid to upper line brands such as B&W, Thiel, Vandersteen, Eggleston, and others employ some type of dome tweeter.
What are the relative advantages/disavantages of each type for a 50/50 mix of music and home theater?
