[QUOTE="Moog, post: 859996, member: 418"] The Apogee Scintilla ribbon speaker is considered by some to be one of the best speakers in terms of vocal reproduction with crystal clear treble and very well extended bass, reaching a true 20Hz in test. I have only listened to a locally produced ribbon speaker (Dr. Thomas, I think) and I must say it sounded awesome. But then at a rated 1 ohm impedance few amps can drive this beast. It is reported that it killed a Krell KSA250 amp. Question: it is difficult to design a speaker with an easier load, while retaining the rest of if the specs? Are there any other affordable ribbon speakers with an easier load on the market? [/QUOTE]
