Yet, I don't think the "safety" aspect may be neglected; I suspect he feels more comfortable with coils running at low voltage than (what I guess was) 200-400V or so.

Yes, you are right. But it must not be at the expense of the Sound. If we follow that logic, then why people use tube amplification with more than 20-30V? Why some of them experiment with more than 1200V? Smile)

Whilst I will take risks with crazy voltages etc for myself, I will not subject others to them, no matter what potential sonic benefits.

So you will have better sound than others, if all other things are being equal.

Obviously, targeted experimentation is preferable, but let's not pretend that progress never came from the occasional stab in the dark. So if something interesting comes out of a change that is motivated by making things safer, than why not?

Don't you think some of the old dirvers use high voltages (some of them 250V) for their electromagnets because of a very rational reason?

In any case, *very* interested to hear more about your devices, particularly the long fibre paper cones and leather suspension - are you willing to divulge more?

When I finish the assembling of my new driver, I will post a dedicated topic about those aspects with explanations for my motivation to make the things the way they are and I will post some pictures.

Cheers,
