I was wondering what everyone’s thoughts are about the affect of having a long ribbon, planer (newform, BG) in front of mid/bass speakers.  I was thinking of trying an array of RS150s with a long ribbon or multiple small ribbons directly in front of the mid/bass.  Picture an array of  BG PD-6CSIs.  What affect on the mid/bass will the ribbons being in front of them.  Is there a frequency where the affect would no longer be unnoticeable?  Say if the width were less then the wavelength would this be OK.  The BG planers are 1.5” wide, this is a frequency of well above 8k.  The Neo 3s are a little over 2.5” wide, a feequency of 5khz is 2.7” long.
