Best amp for 3.6R Ribbon Tweeter?

[Mike Anderson]

Triamping will be a fun project no doubt.

As for the actual task itself, I sort of dread the idea of pulling the socks off my maggies and doing surgery on them. Also, it would likely entail putting the ribbons at greater risk (so whether there's a turn-on thump from the amp is a big consideration for me).

Something I note in the DEQX literature is their emphasis on near-field measurement to minimize room effects in order to obtain the most accurate phase and inherent response corrections for each driver. Room response recommend onl after these basic corrections are mode.

Right, you do "speaker correction" first, then the "room correction". I'm really interested to hear what it sounds like to have totally coherent phase response -- everybody who uses this unit says it makes a fantastic difference in terms of realism and soundstage.

Personally, rather than tubes, I 'd look first to Class A solid state; maybe the likes of a Pass Aleph.

I looked at some used ones on Audiogon. Is there anything about this amp that is particularly well suited to highs/ribbons?

If you consider selling your Behringer DEQ2496, please send me a PM.

It's a cheap enough unit that I think I'm just going to hold onto it - if for nothing else, I like the RTA readout (which is something the DEQX doesn't have).
