Allo Romy,
I have no idea about the above - my gut feeling is that the required thickness of material would be too great, still, I bow to your experience in S2 mods.
I just wanted to mention something that came to mind that might be of interest: I recall reading about some Japanese fellow whos day job was gun ballistics or some such; anyway, apparently he used some tapered rear tubes to load the rear of his compression drivers.
A bit B&W Nautillus tweeter type thing. Should be possible to maintain the correct loading on the driver and absorb the backwave too.
If you wanted to get crazy about it, how about loading the diaphragm with an S2 shell and horn so it sees a symmetrical load?
Cheers

PS the proto of that aircore transformer is due in the next few days; don't get your hopes up too much cos my winder couldn't measure any pri-sec coupling, but we shall see...
