Well, it is a bit more complex then what you wrapped up in your last two sentences. Manufacturers rarely, if ever, can open and without complexes to discuss cons and pros of their design decisions and own sonic actions, partially with such a “free thinkers” as I am. I perfectly understand it. For manufacturers Sound, or to say more accurately the “public perception of sound”, is a service that is responsible for mortgage payments, kids’ colleges, parent’s hospitals, wife’s new dress and the dally food on their tables. So, I do not feel that any critical or meaningful conversation with manufacturers might be useful or even comfortable to be engaged with. I much more prefer to have a “disengaged status”, which also to be more predisposed for honesty, sincerity and objectivism. 

Based upon my familiarity with S2 driver I do not see I there two tweeters.  Even the Living Voice uses a larger and slower opening horn then I use and therefore the Living Voice’s upper knee of S2 shall be more attenuated then mine, I still do not see in there 2 tweeter.  The second tweeter I think comes from the fact that one of the tweeters very ineffective. What Living Voice created is most likely is an illustration to Carlo Collodi’s adventures where the Pinocchio’s nose grows proportionally to the “deviation from truth”.  I think the Living Voice went for second tweeter because they did not found a “right” single tweeter. I do not I insist that I know what the Kevin’s definition of “right” single tweeter is but it looks like that he did not found it yet.

That all might sound for “simple people” as some kind “criticism” of Living Voice new speaker but in reality it is not. I take it more as an advancement of knowledge about the ways of use the S2 driver. Anyhow, when you will be listening the new Living Voice try to disconnect both of tweeters and listen it the speaker with no tweeter - this is very imperative. You do not need to disconnect but you might just cover them up with some kind of blanket.  Then you can uncover one by one tweeter and listen what sonic effect it will do, including off the axis.  It is possible that tweeters are made to work together but you shall be able to figure out a message if the message exists. Yes, this is important, when you will be experimenting with it and if Living Voice will employ an additional external LF section (as it should) then disconcert this external LF section.

I kind of feel not comfortable to be overlay demanding about Living Voice speaker. The guy uses my Vitavox S2 driver – I shall celebrate it, not to be critical. In addition I feel that Living Voice have already invested into marketing of their new speaker.  Since they made the Srajan’s 6moons then everyone known’s what it means. The Srajan Ebaen was invited for a free ride in UK; his travels, hotels, food, entertainment, “gifts” were paid by Living Voice, the Srajan’s dick was Ffguratively sucked in order to make him to drop a few positive BS adjectives about the new speaker.  This is the new form of jouwhorernalism that the audio sleazeballs are invented and where those poor manufactures are just hostages in the industry con. There is no room in this con for Sound, not to mention that the participants of the Srajan’s level are depraved in their sensibility to the “fruitful sound”.  So, I did not expect that any clarity will come from upcoming 6moons write up but the fact that Living Voice’s Kevin  invested into the 6moons’ advertising indicate that Kevin considers his design as complete.
