Ribbon Tweeters???

I am considering ordering a pair of speakers that use Ribbon Tweeters(HiVi I believe)& was wondering what you folks could tell me about what to expect to hear from them as far as tone,imaging & soundstaging etc...when compared to a good Silk Dome(Dynaudio).Thanks much,Take care...

I had a pair of LSA1 Statements for a time. They use an Aurum Cantus ribbon tweeter, I believe. The highs were sweet and airy, very nice!

One of the raps on ribbon tweeters, in the past, has been that they are difficult to integrate seamlessly with a cone mid-woofer -- two different technologies, etc. But I have to say that while the LSA's weren't ultimately my "forever" speakers, I never heard any glaring discontinuities between drivers. I liked them quite a bit.

Beamy meaning very limited dispersion pattern.

Hi Doug
I had the Super Victory just prior to my current Coincident model that uses a ceramic tweeter. I believe it uses the same ribbon as the Total Victory and the Total Reference series.
The Super Victory is just an outstanding speaker especially paired up with my 300b set.

What Timlub says is correct about this driver. When properly executed on the crossover side it is very nice sounding piece.
