which is better sounding? A planner or a true ribbon tweeter?

I am looking at building my own speakers 3 pair. First pair was a

2 way tower a sea's tweeter and a silverflute mid bass in a bass

reflex encloser. I used birch plywood with 13 ply's. My 2nd project

was a fostex fe 206e drivers in a bass reflex. Talk about wow sounding

but, to much midbass forwardness. Now I am on my 3rd project. I use

to have the magnepan mg 12's and loved their sound but, the midbass

and bass as many know it was lacking and made a lot of buzzing noise

and rattleing. The bass was on 0 and so was the terble. No loudness

button was turnedd on. The company said thar was odd but, I think it

the way the speakers were. So now on to my new speaker project. I

want a ribbon buy, I am afraid of it sounding to bright and tizzie.

I have read a lot about people doing up grades to them. I love the

planners but, I am afraid again not as much detail or aryieness as

the ribbons. I also need a good midrange looking at the accuton

drivers very well made and uncolored. I will also need to make a

subwoofer that can keep up with my speakers. Please give me advise or

any info on kits I can build or buy or you have built or have bought.

I listen to blues jazz r&b a little techno ambent and acoustic music

classical and pop and alturative ans movie's and video games.

Thanks jm
