Large Ribbon Center demo. Never left my soundroom. New 12/15/03. Mint condition. Home trial OK seller pays all UPS. The best center I've heard except for the $1600 VMPS RM30C endcap version. MSRP $950 + $75 SoundCoat = $1025 total, sell $615 + UPS. Will happily ship worldwide via superb Menlo International (formerly Emery Worldwide). Can hear/see 4o minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Is there a FST option with that?

I can drive it to VMPS to have the HET & new XO installed, MSRP +$200 extra. Make me a cash offer I can't refuse! It's mint! You'll love it!

Is the FST the same as the HET?. If not, what's the difference?

Thanks

Yes, they are. I wish Brian limited it to one acronym, but there are two. Free Swinging or High Energy Tweeter. Free-swinging means the diaphragm is supported only on the 2 ends, a quality necessary to be labled a true ribbon vs. a leaf tweeter or quasi-ribbon.

The dual acronyms are not as bad as the "Dipole Surround", which has a bipolar radiation (the $1200pr MSRP Dipole Surround SEs, updated about a month ago, are superb matches for the ribbons with virtually identical voicing). Highly recommended as side &/or rear surrounds with the ribbons up front.
