I had previous speakers with Raven ribbons. They were very fragile. I blew several ribbons just by applying too much music power. Another couple I fried simply by inadvertently turning a fan towards them and the moving air stretched the ribbon to a useless state. Another one ripped for no apparent reason.

I'm on the fence about the EX purchase, but my past experiences with the Raven has me leaning towards the domes.

Thanks for any help.
