[QUOTE="cdj, post: 1368693, member: 552330"] The closest I've heard to the ribbon tweeters in my vintage Infinity RS home speakers are the discontinued Monitor Audio Kar series (metal cone), crystal clear and crisp. But they were a limited production and rarely show up on the used market. For that electrostatic/ribbon sound you're probably going to be looking for "metal cone" components. The Rainbow Vanadiums might fill the bill, but again don't show up very often for resale. New they are in the $700 range.

Of course you could go the DIY route and actually use ribbons in the car!
