The point that am trying to make is that the subject of the “home use“ driver vs. the “pro use drivers” is a bit complicated and the thing are not so clear as you, Stefano, is trying to present it to yourself.



That's why I agree in leaving the topic open, WELL open, to more opinion... I tried - as a user, not an engineer or a tech-head - to explain the reason of the naturality, etc. - maybe all has been written and much more to come are the causes... would be easier to say they're good quality drivers with (possibly too much) high price-tags... 

Prices are maybe due to small digits production in a small workshop, instead of mass products for the industry.

I also find VERY interesting the debating of time-alignment, which proved in my system and experience, to be quite tricky and way out to be 100%  settled in my room.

I mean: I agree with Mingsu questions about "what" phisical area must be aligned, as every inch +/- gives sometimes different results... my time alignment personal adventure is quite recent.

Last october, when in Munchen at Dietmar Hampel's place, I clearly heard for the very first time the merits of a time alignment - also if obtained with a digital Sony active x-over with time-delay - the switchinhg on/off between the aligned/unaligned ways was VERY audible and always better in time aligned form.

I preferred for my system the phisical dislocation to align drivers throats... several "experts" says the time alignement is the horn mouth.

I find the throats alignments, also with Goto's drivers;-))), much better, also in a relatively near field (my ears are about 2,8 meters from throats, at a 110° angle on a 5,30 meter room-side).

The above only my 5 cents, of course...

... dot, dot, dot...
