Romy, Kevin at Living Voice has been using 'your' S2 since 1992. I understand these speakers have the first of the new Mike Harvey S2's fitted.

I'm not sure what the thinking is behind the configuration he's arrived at but I do know that he's made his decisions based entirely on what works for him. I don't think he's particularly trying to please anyone else.

Interesting, if Kevin uses the new Mike Harvey’s production of Vitavox S2 then the Living Voice solution might indicate that something is going on with upper range of the NEW Vitavox S2.  I also use S2 from 1992 (***) and I think I have a good grip what this might do in all imaginable configurations. I do not see that S2 needs two tweeters. You might very severalty low-pass S2 but from what I see I do like the upper-range of S2 and I would like it to be as free as possible. Perhaps the NEW Vitavox S2 has a different upper-range and Kevin at Living Voice decided to deal it with on in his kinky ways. Still, I wonder what kind upper range of NEW Vitavox S2 might be that ONE tweeter was not able to handle it (and I do not mean just response). Pay attention that when 2-3 years back Living Voice used presumably old S2 production then they stay with a single tweeter above the S2. The selection of the tweeter in that time was not something that I liked, sonically and design-vise, but it was understandable at least. The direction they went with tweeter use the NEW Vitavox S2 production looks confusing to me. Perhaps if I hear the sound of the new S2 production then I might able to pass a more educated guess, so far it just fishing. I do not know Kevin from Living Voice but if you find some information about what he was trying to do in there then point me out. I do not think that the Sarah’s Morons from 6moon will be mentioning anything edicatinals in their upcoming spit of the Living Voice’s new speaker.

I think of the Living Voice is so close to bating industry then I might propose to the Living Voice’s Kevin to get from me my “Water Drop” Tweeter. It will be perfect for him as it might sit right atop of his MF horn as it is a line array with 20” vertical shooting angle. In exchange I would ask probably for some kind of 45’-47’ sailing yacht by Richard Hartley design…

*** Correction:  I use S2 from 2002
