This is what I meant when I stated that it comes at a price. In any case, I would expect the new version to manage Fs in the same way the older production drivers did it; whether that be via mass-loading or rendering the suspension more compliant (an additional pleat).

"...The Mike’s production from 2000, with white plastic suspension was much better then the original diaphragms, even they had that ugly response. I hope he will use the white plastic suspension in his new production..."

From the Vitavox site (I mean the new, "Official" site):

"...The surround is formed from polyester, a material virtually immune to vibration fracture, and is stiffened by means of heat-formed tangential ribs which allow free movement of the dome over the required excursion..."

Color or opacity of the material in itself means nothing; it could very well be white, pink or have leopard spots (I'm betting you'd like that!), all independent of its physical characteristics.

By the way, for those who don't know, Mylar is a trademarked name for polyester sheet or film:

The 100W thing caught my eye as well and raised an eyebrow...
