Edit: Thought you were speaking of Quad Stat speakers. Feel free to disregard the following.
Because ribbons are more similar to planar technology than dynamics.
If you want to give stats a try I'd recommend one of the lower model Stax such as the 202. You'll need a stat amp, but the 202s you find might be part of a set including the amp. I had an opportunity to buy a great condition set with higher model amp than they came with for $400 so you should be able to find something similar or perhaps even cheaper.
There was talk and prototype of a ribbon headphone from Raal in Serbia, but I haven't heard anything more about a retail offering. If you like your speakers a ribbon headphone would likely be ideal. Unfortunately I don't believe there are any such retail products.
