There was a pair of these at the NW DIY at RAW's house. I unfortunatly missed hearing them, but I think quite a few other people heard them. Check the thread on the NWDIY. There was a brief discussion about them.

Email Dannie Richie at GR Research. I am pretty sure that they have a lone-out program, so you can listen to them at your house for a week. You only have to pay shipping. I think there is only one pair that is being passed around, so I have no idea how long you would have to wait. Just a suggestion...

As I understand it, GR Research designed the Criterion for CSS.
Here's the site: http://www.gr-research.com There is more info on the Criterion's page: http://www.gr-research.com/lucidity/criterion.htm As well as links at the bottom page to the waterfall plot, frequency respone chart, etc.

i dunno what i want t build. Humm. line array or these little Puppies. they look SO PRITTY. If i remember peter was saying that ribbon tweeters blow verry easly.

ribbon tweeters blow verry easly.

It all depends on crossover and frequency. If they use high enough frequency and steep slope, it shouldn't be a problem. What I like about my Raven ribbons is that they can never get damaged beyond repair, all you have to do is put a new element, which is about $5. I remember in the past blowing Accuton ceramic tweeeters at $200 a pc. as well as some Focal tweeters.
