Small Floorstander That Uses Ribbon Tweeters?


I'm looking for a small floorstander that uses Ribbon tweeters instead of the conventional dome tweeter. This speaker must sound good in a small room, at low volume and within a close distance.

This speaker caught my attention, and seems to be what im looking for but are no longer being made - http://www.av-express.com/AV-Catalog/Loudspeakers/BG-Radia-Loudspeakers-Z-7-Tower-Speaker-Neo3-PDR-Tweeter-Cherry

Something similiar to this model would be ideal, maybe even better would be a two way design with more efficiency.

I will be using an Denon PMA-2000ivr intergrated amp ( for now) with is veeeery laid back. Although I plan to upgrade to a NAD 372/375bee/m3 in the near future.

I have a pait of Monitor Audio PL200's in a 14 by 14 room and they have a ribbon tweeter. They have a beautiful and clear sound. I would not hesitate to recommend these to someone.

Elac FS 247s. I have not heard them but they sure do look nice.

Don't forget the Dali lineup; their Icon; or Halycon speakers have a ribbon tweeter with a silk dome hybrid...great and open highs; beautiful cabinets, nice low end for the money....

Ascend acoustics towers with the Raal true ribbon tweeter option, the cabinets are made out of solid bamboo, the cabinets are so hard that you will hurt your knuckles if you do the knock test to listen for any cabinet resonance, you have to google the link below to see pics of them, the pics are a bit grainy as they were taken by one of the forum members, if you want to see better pics you will have to join the forum.
