RE: Apologies for the long post, answers and some speculation on the ribbons

>I believe that the real solution to the problem is that a driver that does not exist is needed. If there was a second midrange ribbon handling the lower mid / upper bass range from 800hz down to say 125hz then it might solve some of the issues. This would require something like a 5” wide freely suspended ribbon and no one has made that due to cost issues with the magnetic field that would be required for a gap of 5 inches.<

How wide are the midrange magnet assemblies? I'm wondering if at those wavelengths you couldn't put several 2" ribbons side by side.

There has to be some way around the mylar resonance/unsupported diaphragm problem . . .
