never mind - found it

"EMIT's are not ribbon speakers. They are planar magnetics. Planar magnetic speakers have a voice coil printed on or attached/glued to a diaphragm. With true ribbons the entire radiating surface is a conductor.
The name EMIT means; electromagnetic induction tweeter."  

Thus EMIT-R would be Electromagnetic Induction Tweeter - Radial

Troy, all we see posted about the Digm's are excuses and blaming other components.  I have looked at your posts on them for years now.

I heard them at the first stop of their North American tour here in CT with a Krell system and disliked them a lot.  just too bright.  They do some other things well, but they are just a bright speaker. I then auditioned them in other set ups and herd the same common problems.

I then even took you up on your offer to hear them in NJ and it was a ton of excuses on you products not set up due to a photo shoot the night before and I think some of you electronics weren't 'burned in', but my buddy Jeff heard the same thing with them that I did and he also had heard them at in other systems.

Many like that bright fatiguing sound, but most don't.  It's just that simple and there is nothing that will change that.  

These threads are fun to read though as it's teh same excuses.  It's also not like I have anything against Paradigm as I've purchased an pair of speakers and a sub from them in the past (daughters college system).  They were perfect for the dorms and cheap with the discounts they offer to move gear.  it's a great company who also stands behind their speakers.  

Just too bright for most of us, but keep this going and I get a refill on popcorn.

I said they sounded opaque in my last audition, in a grayish tone sort of way, and with less sense of separation and richness vs the B&W speaker.

But I also noted I found the high frequencies of the Paradigm more fatiguing over time, the same with my previous audition last year.

Guys, plenty of reviewers always write positive reviews.  Some don't know how to listen or what they are listening tot.  I know one who has joked about him getting free or LOW cost gear and all he has to do is post great things about someone's gear.  

We all are physically different.  Our ears are all different.  It's interesting how many of us are hearing the exact same thing though.  There is a market for most everything.
