In Reply to: anyone try matching a 40"ribbon tweeter and a 15" woofer posted by Zeno on January 07, 2004 at 10:57:49:

I have no experience with ribbons
but
since no one else has replied yet-

appropriate filtering must be used.
-high enough order
-correct Fc
-phase controls?
-Enough knowledge to use /design the filter system taking into account transducers being used.

The 15" woofer
-must be a low distortion type
-good alignment of flat or overdamped response 'non boomy '
as im sure that ribbons demand the best quality.

Woofer distortions extending into the midrange will destroy the entire sound.

Cheers!
