Are there any current production great speakers using AMT tweeters?

Back in the day, I had fallen in love with the ESS Heil AMT speakers, which were always too large and too expensive.    Now that I am looking for a new speaker, I am wondering if there are any current high end monitors that use these tweeters?  Or have good ribbons made the AMT tweeters less desirable?

My budget is in the $5k to $15k range, new or used, so don’t tell me about some of the $1k speakers that I know are out there, no matter how good they might be.

Stand mount is preferable, but a floor standing with a small footprint might be workable in my smallish room.

ScanSpeak for instance makes excellent mid and high end ring radiators.  Some of my favorite speakers are the Fritz 2-ways with the high end SS rings.  Really amazingly musical and smooth.,

I have the BMR bookshelves from Philharmonic.  I find them very detailed with the AMT tweeter without being harsh.  Its one of the better 3-way bookshelf speakers and punch above their price point.  I power them with a Purifi amp and it seems to be a very good paring.

Yes, both the original EVO4 and the newer EVO5 series from Wharfedale utilize an AMT (Air Motion Transformer).   They sound FANTASTIC and smooooth.
