The IPL Acoustics S5TL Kevlar Ribbon is a large Transmission Line using the excellent new 10" IPL/10/K Kevlar bass unit with its high sensitivity, heavy cast chassis, smooth response, and massive (7"") magnet, and ultra light but stiff Kevlar/paper cone, and the high performance 5" IPL/5/M magnesium coned unit with its superbly smooth but detailed sound, and the superb new IPL Rt1.3M Ribbon tweeter . The sound quality of this speaker which has been developed with high quality components is quite exceptional with a stunning large scale presentation, and a clarity and transparency equivalent to that of the best of speakers, but with the advantage of the extended but very controlled, dynamic, transmission line bass. The Mk 2 version of this speaker has a larger Coupling Volume resulting in an even more extended and controlled bass
The S5tl Kevlar Ribbon is best suited to large rooms (at least 20 by 12ft, best firing the length of the room at least 12" from rear wall and 16" from side wall), and is a superb blend of;- ambience, detail, and transparency thus demanding good partnering equipment. The bi-wired crossover uses 2nd order slopes and incorporates IPL Polypropylene capacitors, Super power and steel laminate inductors, and high powered resistors. The speaker has been designed to give near perfect linearity and phase response. The total kit contains the same 16 panel per speaker cabinet kit which includes separate sand filled spiked stands and shaped grille panel, internal baffles and deflectors. The speaker is damped with Profiled foam, and long haired wool and is fully tuneable to suit your system and room. Now with magnetic grill covers for a cleaner look.

These drivers are not a compromise, they are beautifully made and packaged and will compete with the best.
HiVi IPL Rt1.3M Ribbon tweeter Neodymium magnets. The advantage of the ribbon is that it has 10 times the force to mass ratio that a dome tweeter would have, and so is faster and more detailed. The Fountek are some of the best and most consistent Ribbon tweeters available, having a transparent but not harsh sound quality
