RE: Tri-amping T IV-A's with tubes?

Well, that problem could be solved by adding a capacitor in series with ribbon, wouldn't it..? :-) This is exactly what I'm now trying to understand; is it really "too risky" to connect ribbon (and/or mid driver) directly to the tube amp, or would it be a good idea to use some good quality capacitor as a protection?

Blowing a ribbon, compared to a "normal" dynamic tweeter, shouldn't be a catastrophic situation anyway, because it's quite easy to fix with manufacturer's repair kit. But of course, if it is clear that it WILL blow up sooner or later, it might be wiser to prevent it from the beginning.
