Ambitious one. Building a true ribbon tweeter from scratch: neodymium bar magnets, aluminium foil ribbon, a step-up transformer I wound myself.

Magnet array assembled (and nearly took a finger off). Foil tensioning next.

Mind the transformer — ribbon impedance is basically a short, the transformer is the whole ballgame.
