Romy I read your post listing some aspects of the Vitavox drivers Mike might take a look at and I know you give acoustic reproduction a lot of thought, have you envisaged the 'perfect ' driver, has the Vitavox enough 'accidentally good' qualities that something really magnificent could be made from it?

Coops,

I do not know defiantly if Mike visit/read this site. I might presume that he does as this site is one of the very few islands where someone even mentions anything about Vitavox.

About my envision of a “perfect” driver… it is kind of complicated.

I like what S2 does in comparing to some other drivers, particularly what S2 is driven by overloaded plate. Would I consider the S2 as a “perfect driver”? Certainly not! I do clearly recognize some areas (design and sound) that I would like to improve in S2. However I’m not relay equipped to do it and frankly speaking I’m NOT in the business/interest to do it.

You see, with all simplicity of compression drivers to make own “perfect” driver is very complicated. Not because it complicated to do (as actions) but because it extremely complicated predict how those actions will manifest themselves in Sound. You never will be able to say anything… until you are done and no one knows where many attributes of Sound (the Absolute Tone for instance) will be coming from. Look for example what the Congent boys do: year after years they mingle with their MF driver, finding different minor ways to make it to sound better/different. I do not know where they are now in term of the Absolute Tone - they were quite far when I head them two years back…. but they are far not because they are lazy bustards but become no one has any ides where that mischievous Absolute Tone might come from… So, my view is that to pursuit for the 'perfect' driver should take a dedication and preoccupation that I personally am not wiling to invest. I would like someone else discover how to make a “perfect” driver and I juts will use it…

Well, with all my efforts that spend many people fail to realize that I very much against any sights of DIY audio foolishness and am very much not in the business of addressing the audio problems. I see myself more like a user with attitude then a person who had interest to create/invent the things… Therefore, I would prefer someone else do the 'perfect' driver. I do not feel that “when truth is discovered by someone else, it loses something of its attractiveness” I have other means to exercise my own ego….

Anyhow, I hope that a new Vitavox production will be ambitious enough to attacks the legion of contestants for a “perfect” MF driver. If I will have my hands on those new S2 drivers then I will give to them as much consideration as to anything else…
