WTB: Emotiva B1/B1+ or Chane a1.4/a1.5.

[afterlife2]

Hi,

Like the ad says WTB Emotiva B1/B1+ or Chane a1.4/a1.5. I'm looking for and wanting a reasonable priced Ribbon speaker pair in decent to good condition for use with my tube amp. Please post/PM photos of the speakers and asking price shipped to Fl. Once I find the pair I will delete this ad.

Thanks,

JB

Those are not really ribbon tweeters in the true sense of the word. They are Heil AMT type drivers. I have not been impressed with them. They tend to higher distortion and more pronounced sweet spot.

True Ribbon speakers are just that, like those from RAAL. The inventor was Stan Kelly with his Decca/Kelly ribbon.

I personally think good dome tweeters are hard to beat. Their dispersion also narrow with frequency.

The best option is a three way with 3/4" dome crossed at 4 to 5K range with a 3/4" dome rather then 1". These have good dispersion to a much higher frequency. However due to the almost total lack of good midrange drivers, 3/4" domes are now an endangered species.

Hi Doc! I knew you wouldn't like them for some reason. I just will never try real ribbons tweeters in this lifetime, so I decided to get these for fun listening with my tube amp to get a wider soundstage. If I did like them I could always resell them.
