I have a Quad SC center speaker which sounds very compressed in the high frequencies during explosion scenes. Is this a usual characteristic of ribbon tweeters?
With a dome tweeter you have to do something that most designers do not do, which is the dampen the "Fs" with a null filter with just the right Q. *_They don't like amplitude_* and that technique goes a long way to kill it. I am of course not saying anything against what is said in this video and the mass advantage of ribbons, but I know that a dome can sound almost ribbon like when at its best, but it is rare to see that happen, *_very_* rare. Also, there is something to be said about ring radiators.
They do but with much higher mass. No Magnepan, including their flagships, can match the hi frequency extension and detail of these Børrsen ribbons. Hearing is believing.
This is important not only for tweeters, but for all kinds of drivers.
What’s the best way to clean ribbon tweeters, i.e. remove dust? I heard they are very sensitive to mechanical impact.

I agree and I’m not sure I could go back to conventional tweeters now.
100% agreed.
Same here. I’ve owned a lot of high end dome tweeters, none were as good as Børresen’s.
I saw tweeters in your speakers move in-sync with the woofers, so I wonder what is the effect on the performance?

Please make video on hivi rt2h-a planar isodynamic tweeter
Where can I buy your tweeter?

Yes, 20.7s have a 60" true ribbon tweeter.

Thank you 💚❤💙🧡
