I`ve had many small ribbons in my system over the years and I don`t like them. True, they are without competiton above a few Khz, but how to find a decent partnering midrange? They represent unnecessary fragmenting of the musical spectrum (a typical hifi approach). They are closed at the back primarily because of commercial reasons (to be mounted in the box) and not because of sound quality reasons. Once you here the coherency, resolution, power and transparency of 1 to 2 m tall true ribbon, there is no turning back. Now, imagine La Scala wich operates even in the bass as a true ribbon (no planar magnetic like Apogee, Magnepan or Analysis Audio). There are a few individuals all over the world (USA and Australia) who went that route and besides TA, there are no other commercial offerings yet. So, the future will be quite interesting...
