You could always bridge the 3886s, i mean regardless of the woofer spl you lose alot of spl in compensation of the dipole roll off anyway.
Or just use a tweeter that can keep up, since you'll run out of thermal headroom. I.e. I quite like thatmost tweeters are more efficient than woofers. In a HE system that seems to go out the window. Id rather be rattling woofers than pushing tweeters.

Good question. I don't know tbh but I would suspect the former. The impedance curve is quite flat (about 10 Ohms) and slightly rise at 20kHz (transformer effect).
From Zaph's measurments of this ribbon tweeter, a natural 5 or 6dB/octave rising response curve is apparent. of this tweeter. 15-20 degrees off-axis, the LCY is flat but at 88 or less dB in sensitivity. Rated 92 dB is only reached at 20kHz, on axis.
