open I tried for at least a year to get some Aurum Cantus G3 ribbons to work
in my high efficiency system, and never could. I tried
everything. I finally concluded that ribbon drivers do not work
with HE systems. A $6 motorola piezo horn with some damar on the
diaphragm and plastic horn damped with asphalt blew them away. The
ribbons are fine at 'normal' low efficiency levels, very detailed, but
with a coloration that is similar to a ribbon microphone. Perhaps the
resistance of the fixed L pad damps ringing in the step up transformer.
So... you may want to experiment with modded piezo drivers. The
motorolas have been discontinued, but some may still be out there. The
direct radiator one works nicely as a supertweeter as well. I had
always meant to try foiling them as 'dragan' does, but never tried.
Also, there's a new $25 seas aluminum dome (H1212?) that may be worth
an experiment. Specs and waterfall look very good, and I'm a little
curious that it may be good cheap and musical. I hate soft domes,
and IMO the linaeum is horrid.
