It looks to me from that he might be using an S2 from around 500Hz or 600Hz up

Well, I thought about this configuration and it would be hardly possible in the light of what Kevin does. Let pretend that MF is low-passed at 6K and then it has a tweeter all the way up. Lately it have been became a fashionable to add a ultra tweeter that covers over 20K and go all the what to 100K or 5MHz as someone claim. Some people use them and report “improvement”. I call those channels the microwave resonators and there is panty of researches describing what those channels do – they resonate and shake brain cells and increase the brain cells temperature. That would be a legitimate explanation of the presence of 2 tweeters. Unfortunately it would not fly in the Living Voice’s case. The microwave tweeters work well only with the systems that very extended to the bottom – the new Living Voice does not look it is deep LF-able. Also, which tweeter among those that Living Voice uses might be the microwave tweeters?  If it is the Pinocchio tweeters then it wrong as in this type of horn acts as a very strong low-pass filter. If it is the upper tweeters then it is wrong as well become the Pinocchio will not be able to care 6K crossover point, not to mention that whatever it will be able to care will be with a laser-narrow detraction around the axis.  Most likely I think Kevin’s upper tweeter acts as a normal wide-dissipation tweeter and the Pinocchio tweeter just adds some very slight touch of color into the sound a sort of the pink socks in the Albert Goldman “straight” dress from The Birdcage film. Oh, god! Did I just discover a hidden gem a new industry vocabulary – the Gay Tweeter !?

Alternatively Living Voice might use a new becoming fashionable crossover topology that calls ICC. It stands from Internal Combustion Crossover and in there the filtration happen by passing signal across specific chemicals. It is known that ICC has by-products gas that needs to be dispersed and in this case the Pinocchio tweeter is not a tweeter at all but a sexy-looking muffler.

PS I really can't imagine Definitive Audio supplying Srajan with umpteen hookers and a bowl full of coke *and* throwing in a tarted up hummer to host the whole shebang. I don't think the "jourwhorenalism" approach is new - vis KK with Transparent/Wilson/Absolute etc ... or indeed any other industry involving PR and the press...

No, the Definitive Audio is not in Srajan’s alley.  The Srajanodactyl  type specializes on small play, where the pray is defenseless and weak. Then Srajan can sell to manufactures his Messianic contribution at full bloom and dement better coke and hookers with longer legs. People who read my site regularly are accustom for my hyperbolic metaphors but from the reports I got from different manufactures the hyperbolism of my position is only appears to be a hyperbolism.   Ironically I do not blame manufacturers for playing those games. I do not even blame for propelling those games. It is in a way win-win situation for both of them, way not. The problem is that the lever at which the game is played fucks up Truth and does not serve interest of better sound. The Srajan "jourwhorenalism" is not about quality of listening and not about magnitude of sonic accomplishments but about quantity of extortion.  Srajan is like a Bee-Moron who as soon a flower blooms descent to the flower, collect the nectar, and instead or passing it to a fertile recipient he dumps it to a toilet and flashes the water…
