One limitation of using a ribbon or Visaton MHT12 in an MTM is the comb filtering that is present when crossing over at a frequency where distortion is under control (3.5K or above). The observation is that one must keep his or her head in a fixed location to get an even frequency response. For some it may deter them from persuing an MTM with ribbon altogether.
So, what would happen in terms of comb filtering if one were to take the approach that Wilson does with their flagship speakers, which would involve tilting the midranges at 8-10 degrees inward toward the on axis plane/tweeter plane? Would this help or improve the limitations of using a ribbon or magnetostat, which both require higher crossover points?
