I was really concerned if Mike still able to get access to the original magnet material and original paper material for woofers. Nowadays nobody make magnets beside China and China refuse to do old Alnico magnets because it's required Cobalt and they do not want wasted for loudspeakers. Perhaps Mike somehow found way to get it. I do not know. The same story go with papar. The contemporary pulp that is being mixed typically cannot compare to the paper which was made back in the 50s and '60s. The quality of contemporary reproduction or drivers from other manufacturers shows it. I do not fancy myself that I know a lot about manufacturing of the drivers but I know that some technologist just do not exist anymore. Like you cannot find among contemporary tubes cathodes with infused carbonates, nowadays we have only cathod coatings. If Mike somehow able to maintain the original production specifications then it is for sure very commendable. What would be the most interesting if Mike would be able to improve S2 driver. Elso, it would be super super interesting if he would try to make not aluminum diaphragms but paper or phenolic diaphragms for those drivers, or to drop FF for woofers down to 25 HZ. If it is done properly it might be superbly interesting.
