[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 1926022, member: 560358"] They are magnetic planars, some call them isodynamic planars, the manufacturer calls them 'ribbons' using the term loosely and incorrect, they are not true ribbons like Ravens, etc. This particular design offers the best SQ with SPL of all tweeters I've worked with. There are two other brands in the same league but not available for purchase seperately unless you want to buy the 'system' and remove the tweeters... lol Only compresson drivers with horns can produce more SPL but SQ suffers compare to this tweeter. If you can tolerate a we bit less SPL than a big horn to gain a huge boost in SQ, this is the tweeter to get. Tube geeks would get a boner if they knew it was 13 ohms nominal {high impedance, tube amp friendly}, and 103dB sensitivity. They also sell a waveguide for it to boost sensitivity to 107dB but the frequency response is peaky at some mid frequencies. If you have a wild imagination, imagine 21 tweeters in a 7.1 HT system where the mains are 8 tweeter per tower line arrays with 8" mids and another set of line arrays where you have eight 15" midbass drivers tuned to 35hz, then add a monster high xmax sub(s), everything powered by over ten pro audio amps in bridge mode for ultimate death and punishment.
