Wow, Romy, what a fraught time! You seem to have (somehow) focused on your sound system and narrowed things down to a tweeter, or at least some viable way to add "color". While you were talking, I was thinking that your S2s actually go pretty high, maybe over 15k Hz, right? I always had the opposite problem, with (colorful) paper tweeters that trailed off, and I added 'stats, then ribbons for that effect. I have mentioned here that I always thought that "ribbon manufacturers" "lied" about the ribbon efficiency, but now that you complain about ribbon efficiency, too, I realize that whatever the efficiency turns out to be, it's only the effects that I care about. Testing transducers can take a while! Add tube/amp/X/O sound qualities to the mix and you might have a real Project on your hands!
Good Luck,
