I can report that the G2Si loses the "glycerin" at 10k with the ML2s….

I concur with this finding. Any ribbon tweeter that I heard has "glycerin" tone but it is because the ribbon mostly crossed too low. I would say that I still head some trace of the "glycerin" at 10K with second order but I have no trace of it at 13K. It would certainly wary from driver to driver but definitely a ribbon sharply closed at 10K sound nothing like a ribbon crossed at 6K. I still do not know what I will end up but I at this point do not worry about the ribbon's alien glycerin tone. Cross ribbon higher and use HF capable MF drivers -  it would be the best solution do not poison system’s sound with the “ribbonninnessththzzz”….
