R,
More interesting observations there.

Your Lowther thoughts are similar to mine - I always wondered what a lower flux version would sound like, but non-horn loaded and whizzerless a la Horning. Even got round to obtaining some magnet-less motor PM4A assemblies, then realised I'd completely underestimated the machining required....not to mention I really should learn to use FEMM software before embarking on any metalwork or coil winding. I had a quick look at the following freeware but there's a long learning curve: http://femm.foster-miller.net/

But the real reason for my post is to ask:
I was thinking about the results you reported and am really scratching my head as to why the FC S2 should sound honky, given that its acoustic geometry is completely unchanged. Any ideas as to why??

I don't suppose the 330 horn was any different in this respect? It's the 4 sector vitavox right?

cheers
