Ribbon Tweeters


I've noticed that ribbon tweeters don't have the range of dome tweeters (50 khz v. 20 khz). However, people have said that ribbon tweeters produce a cleaner and more accurate high end. Even if it can produce a cleaner high, wouldn't the lack of range limit its accuracy?

Rory, I *think* the Piegas roll-off higher than 20kHz... (Heard the 10 once & was impressed, BTW.)
Also, I have not experienced any tonal/ phase/? inaccuracy listening to ribbon tweeters -- but that's just me, no ribbon "guru" here!
OTOH, is the Rowland wide-bandwidth? (I don't think so) Why worry about signals over 20-30kHz if the amp doesn't output them -- or am I missing something? Cheers!
