Ribbon Tweeters

Its not really relevant-obviously if its not reproducing a freq. it can't be accurate. But ribbons can go well above 20khz-the ravens go to about 35khz.

A while back there was a thread on new ribbons, like the Ravens. Not much interest. I wish someone could give us a review of the ESg 2&3's the Ravens, the Philips RT8 and RSQ8P/11's. Yes ribbons have been around forever you say , nothing new about ribbons. There must be some advances. There are the new better dome tweets. Some Agon member has the Raven 3's($3400/pr.!!) in a design. Wish he could give us the review.

The reason I asked is because I'm thinking about testing the Piega's and want to know if is going to be a waste of time. The dealer representative will bring them to my house so I can hook them up to a Rowland and Meridian combo. But, I figure why bother if ribbon's are not accurate.

Rory, I *think* the Piegas roll-off higher than 20kHz... (Heard the 10 once & was impressed, BTW.)
Also, I have not experienced any tonal/ phase/? inaccuracy listening to ribbon tweeters -- but that's just me, no ribbon "guru" here!
OTOH, is the Rowland wide-bandwidth? (I don't think so) Why worry about signals over 20-30kHz if the amp doesn't output them -- or am I missing something? Cheers!

Piega speakers extend to 47.5 k.
