angelo,

I do not know what the story about the Vitavox Mike. He travels a lot and sometime he is few weeks out of county, during this time he does not retie emails.… It happened with him before. He runs a shop and you might call his ask how he is doing. Other them him I do not know sources for new diaphragms. In contrary S2 drives are readily available ands use a couple pars per month pops up here and there.  However, S2 drivers and it diaphragms, thanks to a known to me Morons from Massachusetts who believes the he is a feline, become quite expensive recently. Also if you gig them do not forger that they are 50 years old and it might be a lot with them that does not perform well. So, doing for S2 drive one might open a worm box with all possible aggravations….

Also, I would like to note that audio people always foolishly believe that “something” in playback that was “different” is responsible for “better sound”. I have seen quite a few people who were in my room and more or less liked the Sound. Then they asked me what did MF. I said that it was Vitavox S2 driver. Probably a half dozen of them then ran and bought the S2 drives. However, as far as I know today, none of them were able to successfully use it in their installations (because of various reasons). I pretty much did the same: I heard it in 2001, liked some potency of it’s Sound, and ran to buy it. Nevertheless, it took almost a year to learn how to get better sound from it and hot it might be incorporated in context of entire installations.
