Never having heard ribbon tweeters before, I was blown away by them.

Yes the ribbon tweeter's are something else. What is the bass like at home? How far are out from the walls have you the speakers positioned?
I currently have a pair of Castle Howard's which use the transmission line principle to deliver the type of fulsome bass I like. No modern day speaker comes close I've found so far. That's why I didn't go for the 8's. I found the bass too clean in the demo room which surprised me as they go down to 20Hz! Hence my bass question above :) I have a feeling that I need to audition them in my own room to be sure. Previous auditions over the last while have shown me that modern speakers are voiced to impress. I've always found them to be too bright despite the bass being ok. This time (and for the first time) it's the opposite. You just can't win, can you!
