I will slowly upload, as time permits to write them, different posts on the subject of Ultimate MF Compression Driver.

I wrote a lot about colors at my site and people know that color discrimination of channels is very high in the list of my proprieties .  The color discrimination is a complex subject itself that encompasses the Absolute Tone and, color sensitively, continuing color, stability of colors and many other subjects. It is not my intention to elaborate on color topics in this thread. However, thinking about Ultimate MF compression driver I can’t avoid to think about colors and what is the most important – the color control.

First think first – I do not know where color comes from in compression drivers. Many  people make many claims that they do know but I did not see yet single compression driver that has deliberately proper amount of colors.  Many people think that more colors the  better, they are wrong as usually. Colors in compression driver is like salt on your steak. Without salt the meat might not feel cultivated, with too much salt the meat is destroyed. It has to be very right amount and it has to be very right amount of colors. With excessive amount of colors playback or a channel begin to demonstrate colorations of the satiation when specific colors become overwhelming force. Many audio Morons do not understand different between color power and colorations, I do.  I not only understand it but have ways in my own playback to enforce it.

Still, my way to enforce the deliberateness of colors (with use of Injection Channel) is superbly powerful and I do not even think to use have Macondo without Injection but it is not Ultimate way to have color control. In Macondo I use Vitavox S2 driver that is the most powerful color discriminator I have heard among compression drivers. Furtherer I drive it with very unique output tube that has a lot of own color attitude. Still it is not near enough to serve the colors in the way how I feel they have to be and the additional Injection is employed. The Ultimate way would be to have drivers, and the most prominent MF driver, with color control built in. I mean whatever in a driver is responsible for color need to be adjustable. I do not know what it would be but this is my requirement for Ultimate MF compression driver.

A reasonable question would be: if a manufacturer (if the manufacturer “get” the subject as most of them do not) could not make a compression driver with right amount of color force, then the color strength would not be need adjustment? It is good question. The color strength is dissipate-able force. The precise force of color setting would wary with listening distance, room acoustic, type of loading, amplification, the use of a given channel, the way how the neighboring channels interact with the given MF channel. The Ultimate MF compression driver is like puberty: the driver shall ability to be pregnant but to consummate the pregnancy is the business of the driver end user.

There is no know to me drivers with the adjustable color strength, no one even look in the direction. Still, if I am thinking about Ultimate MF compression driver then it must have control over own color output.
