The Original Apogees (the seven foot tall, 400 pound, 1 ohm amp eaters) were the best ribbons I ever heard. Utterly hair-raising reproduction of cello - all the bite and growl of the real thing. Only heard them once, about thirteen or fourteen years ago. If you find a pair for sale buy them - there are many more amplifiers capable of driving them today than there were way back when. I believe there is a place out in California that repairs Apogees.
