Both versions of 802's have GPA diaphragms both are used on the same horn in a model 19 clone. Over longer periods of time the older versions are easier on my ears.
You deal with random result. Pretend that you have your both versions drivers but the driver with “inferior” radial plug has a diaphragm with slightly different Mylar suspension that happens to be work better then GPA cone with concentric plug. You just do not have this experience.  So, do not look for individual symptoms but look for a health of entire body. In my view the design of phase plug is a VERY mercy subject and I do not like anybody feel that their conclusions are definitive.


I think not having experience with compression drivers is the fun part it's once you know a great deal and still have problems getting the right sound is when it gets aggravating. And for me it's not just the end result it's having fun learning and enjoying getting there. And i can only imagine the satisfaction one gets when he reaches his very own audio bliss. Hopefully i can experience that one day with my own build.
