Ribbon Tweeter which has > 95 DB/1watt

I think you're going to have a tough time finding something that meets that criteria. The only think I've seen is the Raven R-1, here are the specs:

ribbon material pure aluminum
ribbon mass .008g
ribbon area 595 mm2
gap flux 0.55 Tesla
transformer, secondary impedance 0.05 W
transformer, primary impedance 4 W
DCR 3.3 W
frequency range 2000 - 35000Hz
sensitivity 95 dB / 2.83V / 1m
power handling, nominal 15W
power handling, maximum 40W
total mass 4.5 lbs

Zalytron sells them for $200 - which is still pretty hefty if you're making a line array, but it's probably one of the best tweeters you could use.

Good Luck!
