MS2, I don't care much about compression drivers, but I have spent the past 2 1/2 years playing with direct drivers, trying to figure out what makes good sound. And no matter any notions about "scientific discoveries", the whole process has been the accumulation of useful information via trial-and-error.
Your note about the "direct-to-diaphragm" coil winding might be a place to start your investigations. Just buy the Peavy and start systematically messing with it. Try to build on what you like while diminishing what you don't like. MAYBE you will be able to make something you can use from this driver. FWIW, I think if you ever find an old S2 you will have to go through much of this, anyway.
Also, I recommend you continue to read widely at this site. I don't think Romy or anyone else is going to cull out the info you want/need, and I'm not even sure we can do this for you.
Best regards,
