no one know what it is and how it sounds but I can bet all money in my pocket that with this size it has problematic HF, not to mention that being a ribbon it sound worse with each Hz of lower extension.

I think ribbon is fine down to 1kHz which is roughly soprano high C. In that register there is not much tonality even to quite different instruments like clarinet and oboe. Lower though and the midrange is messed up.  Maybe he likes a very thin sound enhanced by tubes; i.e. no tube bloat there.
