I was wondering why in the past 5 (?) or so years the number of loudspeakers using AMT drivers has soared? Have the impedance or efficiency issues been ironed out? Did a patent expire?
Thought this was a good place to ask since the FR30 uses them.

My Wharfefale’s use them too,
Not seen them used for many years.

Patent expired in 2004, TM have lapsed. I think a few designers have got back to using them.
Audiovector have been using them since at least mid -90s
Dunno about patents and all, but I love the trend! I love ribbon/AMT drivers. My Wharfedale EVO 4.2 have the smoothest high end. I like a good dome tweeter, but don’t want to go back from ribbons…
