Yep, I think I found a good candidate to start with. At least, order a couple to do some of my own FR and listening tests with. (really low sensitivity, though - 80dB@1kHz/1W)
BTW, I found a post by Zaph on HT Guide forum where he mentions that it looks and tests exactly like the Aura NS3-193-8A(.pdf spec sheeet). And it sure looks like he is right.

My question, though, is that with that extremely low sensitivity, will 24 of them in an array be able to move enough air for moderately loud listening before distorting badly? Check out the distortion plot on the spec sheet.
Also, how about finding tweeters/ribbons that won't need a lot of padding down?

The gain from 24 of them will give you good sensitivity so don't worry about the 80db spec. I've used the Aura version (they may make these too) and it's exceptionally good.
