I havn't had the opportunity to have a listen to this model but for what it's worth I own a set of the JP 3.0 that I'm quite happy with.
I've been using a pair for quite some time and IMO they sound excellent.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
oh! nice to know it?
how much you'd spend for it? would you compare it with something else?
I want to buy it, thus ask you about your experience.

I've used the Raven R1 in the past and I'd say that the JP2 is nearly its equal. The JP2 costs about $120 here in the US. http://www.zalytron.com/Fountek.htm

The JP2 is a bit different than the newer "Neo" CD 2 .0version, and would likely sound at least a little different due to the additional mass of the Neo ribbon (over that of the original JP2).
I think that one or two members here have actually used the NeoPro 5i, so a forum search could be usefull.. however it is doubtfull that any searchs will reveal differences from differeing Fountek models.
The only person I know of that has listened to most if not all of the Fountek models is Rick Craig - who can often be found on the Madisound Forum.

thank you for all, but could you say something about price for these drivers? it's another side of any solution.
there suppose to be very similar to their Aurum Cantus counterparts, but with a plastic chasis instead of aluminum.
you can even use the AC ribbon elements in Fountek ribbon bodies.
"the difference is sound is not worth the difference in cost" - i read somewhere..
^but replacing the ribbon elements on Fountek ribbons are PITA compared to AC and LCY ribbons..

If your talking about the Foundtek ribbon element compared to the custom/homemade Household Aluminum Foil element.
i wouldnt worry about the difference, too much..
from 2khz to 4khz, its boasted. this is where you ears are most sensitive (throughout the treble range).
then from 4khz to 8khz its quite flat. this is where youll find most harshness.
and from 8khz+ is a little boasted, but your ears are less sensitive in this area, anyways (specially when you get older) so its probably a good thing...

you're absolutely right. I'm realy loose this range. I'm 47. it's big difference for ears.
but anyway, I try to do the best acoustic system, that's why I'm looking for something .... ideal for high waves. 🙂
your experiense is very interesting, basicaly, I've cary about each db within bass range. it's my favourite.
but high range have to be make maximum flat and high.
I'm afraid, I'll not be able to do the same work. I'll be use basic driver, that's why I ask society about it.
have you thought of an EQ..?

this one has an auto-RTA too (when you buy the mic)!

couldn't open link. I don't know why, no problem. I never use EQ, I'm even have not volume regulator. what it for?
could you change level in the concert hall? 🙂
I mean, I have room for music listening... and have not any problem with room reaction, tone compensation,....

thank you, George!
pity, I'd never see it before. ok. I'll try to buy it for the test. it's not easy for me. I'm so far away and my country has a little wild law of custom service.

Those are not "True" Ribbon Tweeters, though...
dear 10K2HVN! 🙂
do you agree about various of room audio parametrs to different SPL? big different reaction of louspeaker as well, differnt sensitivity human ears... isn't it? that's why I'm just COULDN'T use volume regulator.
I want, but I can't.
about Foster/Fostex ribbon tweeter. I asked them about 2 pcs for test. they answer: "Sorry but we do not sell our products on a retail level." pity.
