I am using a T-amp on my 3 ohms ribbons. With this amp i get a rising top end, with normal amps they meausure ruler flat.Is it possibel the caculate the filter on class d amps, so it fits the impedans on the speakers.

Yes, it is possible. I suggest having a look at the datasheet for the chip that's in your amp, or the sheet for the amp itself, to see what sort of filter you've got. Once you've got the filter type and component values, the calculations themselves aren't too hard.
 
The rising top end may be due to an inductive impedance component of the ribbons interacting with the output filter of the amplifier. Try to flatten it with a RC series network at the output of the class D amplifier, with R in the range of 3 ohms and C in the range of 5uF. Most class-D designs expect a purely resistive load in the upper two octaves.
