The corrugated folded ribbon elements used in Aurum Cantus tweeters are susceptible to stretching from stiff breezes (or accidental vacuuming!). They are inexpensive, $5 to $15, but are a bit tricky to replace. I would assume the similarly constructed Fountek and LCY ribbons would also be similar in cost and replacement procedure.
The RAAL Flatfoil elements are not as delicate, and if replacement is needed, the part has the ribbon already suspended in a frame so replacement is a lot easier. Madisound sells the non-OEM 70-10D replacement ribbon for $44, which is close in size to the OEM Salk RAAL (as a cost comparison only).
However, RAAL has this to say about replacement ribbons:
RIBBON REPLACEMENT KIT: ribbon replacement is made easy by our ribbon replacement kit, which is easily replaced by the user. This “kit” is in fact our SYMMLEAD® signal leading frame, holding the stretched ribbon, allowing it to snap into perfect position between the magnets.
This feature might be an obsolete one, because RAAL ribbons are destructible only by really extreme abuse or curiosity. In two years, we sent away only 3 replacement kits to customers who destroyed the ribbons by opening the drivers out of curiosity. Aside from that, our reliability record is 0% failure rate.
