The price for the new production membranes is reasonable, so one could imagine fitting them to old production S2 drivers as an experiment; this in fact is what I have been planning to do. I have not yet done it due to circumstances that have thoroughly taken me away from the world of audio for the past two years but I have every intention of returning. How relevant the results of such an experiment might be with regard to the sound of a complete, new production S2 is anyone's guess, as the membrane is only part of the story. Still, if anyone were to beat me to it, I'd be all ears. The same goes for the AK bass drivers.

In the mean time, I'd like to see the manufacturer post on his web site a frequency response plot of an old production S2 with its original diaphragm vs one of the new units.
