There are a few professional loudspeaker systems using ribbons. Alcons Audio has an 18” unit in some of their boxes that has a peak handling of 3000 watts. They make great line arrays and point source cabinets that are out on tour with big names and in major installs.
Innovox is another high end manufacturer that comes to mind that uses ribbon drivers. While mostly an install company, they have a few portable products and are starting to get some traction with rental and production companies.
As mentioned, SLS makes some boxes that use ribbons including compact line arrays.
I have heard products from the above companies at our loudspeaker demos and have been impressed by their offerings.
Don’t base your ribbon experience on MI grade Peavey boxes.
