Romy,

I find the Veravox 5 drivers are strong contenders when searching for elevated sensitivity 5" drivers. I heard the Veravox 5X in combination with Shindo SET electronics and found it very natural-sounding. Both 5ers have ceramic magnets, however (the X-version a double one, back to back). The 5S can be got from Solen, the 5X currently seems to be sold out (also in Europe).


Your lautsprechershop.de looks like have them and they do look like interesting drivers.

I never heard any Cantare drivers. I might herd them in fact but I never care too much about drivers if there were not mounted in horn and if I heard Veravox in any of box speakers before then I might just did not pay attention to them. I do not know a lot about the box speaker as what the time of my audio Age of Enlightenment came I was in the horn universe. I went of Foxtex not because I like them - in fact I do not – but because it might be a “safe bid”. In addition the 120A model will be different from all Foxtex that I heard and the custom cone treatment that will be implemented on my drivers will make them to sound very different than what I know. I have to note that what I said in the previous sentence all is allegations and promises from other people - I have no idea if it would be accurate but it might be “acceptable” in context of MiniMe restricted demands. I had a few interning 5” drivers in my aim but I figure out that Foxtex would be the safest bid and the easiest bid. Let see how wrong I was…

BTW, if I have an easy option to try the 11cm Gorlich drivers then I would gladly do it but to pay $1.4K juts for “trying”, without anybody underwire the result, is too much
