Unlike what the model states, it's not a ribbon tweeter. Rather the voice coil are wrapped in a ribbon fashion. These are my favorite "small" 3-way speakers. They have a 8" woofer with rubber surrounds, that have been reconditioned, a dome midrange driver and metal dome tweeter all wrapped in a well built acoustic sealed box. I will assume all the drivers are German made.
The frequency response is quite nice from 33-34k Hz, which is quite impressive for their size. They really have that German characteristic, being detailed, clear, dynamic and precise. They sound really superb. They have to be one of the best small 3-ways I've heard, and I've heard quite a bit.
They are also quite efficient, I remember running them with a small SET amplifier and they ran fine. But, I would say at least 10wpc is enough to fill a room and have good headroom to move on the volume. They are rated at 8ohm impedance.
The fabric on the grills have been redone due to the awful shape they were in before. One major downside is the cabinets are wrapped in that hammertone vinyl wrap. It's okay but I've read they came with real wood veneer too!
They are bookshelves speakers, so they would benefit from a stand.
Overall they are in very good shape. One woofer is slightly different colour too, probably when they were manufactured, they are both paper cones and they're probably not consecutive. But, they sound phenomenal for their size.
