[QUOTE="chipwelder, post: 97472, member: 54"] At that length they could be very good, but if they are made out of a stack of tweeters, they are basically a line array - i.e multiple drivers above a certain frequency, so you still need to have a cross-over to sort out the multiple sources... It may sound fine without, it may not. If it is one looooong ribbon, this is not needed, but they might sag and need frequent replacement, or they might be so stiff that they are more of a planar magnetic, which can be very good, it may also have the resonances that give some ribbons a bad name. Real ribbons - i.e. negligible weight - tend to have a rising response... this may or may not suit you. [/QUOTE]
