I'm looking at picking up a new component set down the road, and was wondering about the Hertz Mille "ribbon" speakers.
Never seen anything like it before.. I bleieve the model number is ML500R
here's the link as well:

/comp
/ML500R
Something that interested me was the frequency response of 700hz to 35khz

Ummmm....
that link led me to nothing but hyperbole....wait let me try again.....
"If you focus on the components technical features, you risk to lose touch with the most beautiful element of Mille systems: sound."
So don't look at how technically inferior we are....(I didn't)...
"Tuning is spontaneous in any car, since you can handle the listening position you prefer, the response equalisation, the components efficiency.".....Huh? ....I knew a girl like that once.
"Thanks to the filter efficient action, sound stage gets higher and centered, making voices natural and firm, singling every element out in the orchestra, easily recreating real, complete, detailed sound.".....I knew a girl like that too.
Ok...I looked at the specs....even tho they told me not to.
Looks like the tweet goes down to 950, good if the Fs isn't 2500.
They show the X-over and it has 1....count em one! air coil ......what about the mid?
These could be a nice sounding set, but I'd want to audition them first. Enough with the rhetoric....why do they sound better.....it's not that hard.
I guess I'm in a Mood tonight.....sorry folks.

I've spent the last few days shopping on E-Bay, for Christmas presents, and one thing I noticed....people will bid crazy amounts, for regular crap, if the description is well written.
I saw a regular, un-opened copy of Dark Side of the Moon go for nearly $200, just because the guy told a story about how awesome a record it was, and how awesome an experience it would be to have a copy of such a hit.
I have 4 or 5 copies of that same record....that I would never subject anyone to hear, cause it would be a waste of perfectly good ear wax. I'm talking about the regular pressing of DSOTM that sold millions of copies, that used to sell for 5.95.
Now a 1/2 speed master, Jap copy, MFSL version.....well ok....worth a couple hunge.....but buyer beware....a good story is just that.
See...I really AM in a mood tonite.

interesting as the product may be you should really get a listen to them before you buy them. the we hear is very personal and unique to each individual. my experience with the hertz speakers, 3 different pairs left me feeling let down by the mediocre sound and performance, but thats me

can you elaborate on that? I'm not quite sure what you mean.
Is that meaning they'll the sound more to the sides, not higher/lower?
I guess what I mean is that they should be aimed pretty much directly at you?

Vertical dispersion referes to how much sound off-axis vertically the driver produces. The general rule-of-thumb with ribbons is that the longer the ribbon the poorer the response.
Short Ribbon:

Tall Ribbon:

It basiclly means that your sweet-spot is reduced.
