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.

Check out Daniel Hertz’s Chiara AMT stand mount if you can stretch the budget to $25k. Biamped, true 20 to 20. Check out Adrian’s of Audio Excellence presentation at Montreal show a year or two ago — and his  unpack/review/show prep. There is an accompanying biamp to complement it but you don’t have to buy that model or brand amp to hear what it can do. 

Thanks for all your ideas. After some googling, here is a quick review of what I found, and/or am thinking:

Fischer & Fischer only use AMT on their floorstanders, not on their stand mounts. Likewise, the Gobels, viva allegro, Spatial Audio labs, and cinnamons are all floor standing.

And this may seem shallow, but some (Lawrence, Qualio, wolf von Langa , Daniel Hertz Chiara) are too ugly for me, let alone the WAF.

But the philharmonic, Legacy and Arion iris are intriguing.  Now the issue becomes how long will it take me to find dealers/shows to listen to these.  

I would also recommend YG acoustics if you like the AMT'S. I think you would like the sound although different technology.

My first job in a HiFi store in 1973 introduced me to ESS AMT-1 Towers.  Previously I had heard the original AMT-1 and dismissed it as having boomy, unserious bass response, but the Tower entirely cured that, with solid, extended low resonance bottom end to match the AMT’s sparkling treble. Truly a pleasure to listen to. I have seen these for sale on occasion. 
 

In an attempt to capture that magic, I got a pair of Wharfedale Elysian 1 stand mount speakers.  They are nice for sure, but not in the same league as the ESS.  
My room will not accommodate dipoles so that is an obstacle.
