This is very faulty premise, I multiple times objected it. The people who play live music, record it and then play recording right the way (like Levinson did in his demo room in NY) are truly do not understand what audio is all about. It is not the subject of this thread however.

Romy, what I have been wondering for a while, why don't you run your S2 from 500 Hz to 5000 Hz?

Because I very much appreciate what S2 does at 8000-1000 region.  I feel that none of the drivers out there has this frosty and throaty upper mid region, but at the same time very detailed and very connected, graceful and very pronounced.

Does Mocando have seamless midrange?

I would say that nowdays Mocando has very much no extended midrange. The Macondo midrange is narrow, not as narrow as let say Kharma loudspeakers have, but still the Macondo midrange has very definitive boundaries that do not hole as much “sounds” as I would like them to be. Interesting that Macondo does hold some feeling of midrange wholeness but it is kind of very fragile and vulnerable. A full of attitude LF or HF event is clearly auditable as audio event, not as music even, and it destroys the feeling of midrange totality.
