electrostats vs ribbon drivers

Apogee Scintilla is the best speaker I have ever heard.
The only problem was the very low impendance. There seems to be some Greek producer (Omega?)who try to rivive this
legende. The real problem of Apogee was the patent issue
with Magnepan. No way to survive if one is not able to pay the lawyers.

Regards,

I have the ESS Heil tweeter, and conventional mid and woofer. If I was a "zillionair", I think I would have some modification of this.

@Nandric: You are thinking of Analysis Audio, and their Omega (and other) speakers. No they are not full range ribbon, rather magnetic planar with ribbon tweeters, a la Magnepan; they do look exactly like Apogee, though. I have listened to Amphitryon and the sound was nice and dark - but this was probably to the tube amp driving them. I believe they need better amplification to really shine.

To my ears, electrostats mylar has that tzzzz sound. It sure can why I no longer use electrostatics.

Kkm and Johnk have either one of you hear a soundlab speaker?I know the sizzle sound you are refering to but on the soundlab that is adjustable to where it is heard then backed off;on my m2;s I cannot hear sizzle at all when properly adjusted.
