Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

It doesn't have a true ribbon tweeter. What it does have is...

as I understand it, a single strip of foil conductor on the QR tweeter that is crossed over fairly high and acts as a kind of "supertweeter", the advantage presumably being that it gives a little bit better dispersion. But it's not going to have the same extreme lightness as the true ribbon, and therefore isn't going to have the same extension and resolution. And, if I'm not mistaken, there is no LP crossover on the rest of the QR. None of this is to say that it's going to sound bad, though.
Opinions about the "X" versions seem to be all over the map.
