There are a number of things about the listing that are wrong including current location and pictures that don't belong to him. Bid if you don't believe me.

There might be some sound reinforcement speakers using a ribbon driver somewhere but none that I know of and the Dragons aren't panels, i.e. full ribbon or electrostatic.

"Shrewdly, Mr. Kurosawa has equipped his listening room with a wide variety of speakers of every kind—from dynamics to ‘stats to ribbons to horns—so I got a chance to listen to his electronics on just about every kind of transducer extant (with both LP and CD sources). Clearly the Technical Brain products are anything but picky when it comes to what they drive. In fact, the very best sound I heard in Japan (right alongside that of the all-tube Audio Tekne electronics driving Mr. Imai’s SP-9301S four-way horns) came from the Technical Brain solid-state amp and preamp driving what is, famously, one of the most difficult loads on earth: Apogee Duettas. One forgets how great Jason Bloom’s ribbon speakers were, and I’ve never heard them sound more realistic, more like the absolute sound than I did in Mr. Kurosawa’s Canadian-timber listening room. Reproduced sound may get different but it doesn’t get better than this."

Couldn't stand the Adam active, their biggest. Loads of bass all over the place. Hard them with top of the line Linn lp12, Lampi 7, and drink of..both with and without room correction
IMHO one more case of great expertise in the setting of the system for the room. These very knowledgeable and skillful persons spend their life fine tuning their equipment in their rooms and create exceptional experiences.
Wether we common audiophiles can reproduce such conditions with the same speakers in our rooms is a very different matter.
I have owned Apogee Duetta's for some time. Listening to Paul Simon Graceland LP played at loud levels was an unique experience - I do not expect to reproduce it with any other system I will own. But with many other recordings they were far from being the best. And the few times they had magic it was at what people call realistic levels. But at "reasonable" levels they sounded just decent most of the time. All IMHO, YMMV.
BTW, looking at the picture in TAS, the room looks very large - a good think.
Also, I don't think Lissnr is any expert. He is just a sensible enthusiast who ignored pride of ownership and price tags, to stick to his ears. He has an 18*13 room, in which he tried to get his divas right for a year, and sold them to go to duetta sigs (both modded by Rich murry). How many times do we see audiophiles fill in big speakers into small rooms and nut correct the mistake?
He added the Lampi 7, TRL pre and TRL tube amps. Triode wire labs cables (think they are built on WE cabling).
