any updates, james? i have a pair of vintage pioneer ribbons that go out to 100khz, and are somewhere between 95-100db efficient. but i've never tried them...

I wish I had a definitive answer Doug. They are staying, but I’d be hard pressed to give a reason why. I put my ear right up to them and don’t hear a thing. If I turn them all the way up, I still don’t hear them up close, yet I ‘sense’ a harshness.
I feel they lend a sense of air at the appropriate setting. They radiate to both front and back- perhaps the back wave is what lends the ‘air’ I believe I’m hearing. I find it best at one click below the recommended level- that level being the one that corresponds with the main speaker’s efficiency.
I’m not above thinking that I could be imagining the whole thing!
I also raised my speakers up a bit a while back, and I prefer the sound, though again I can’t put into words why that is. To be clear this was a separate endeavor 6 months prior to the tweeters.
