The idea of making a copy of an s2 driver also intrest me, but i have some other ideas than just copying this driver.
I have been thinking to make this driver with an field coil magnet a 12 volts (using a car or camping battery) and a 250 volts version using a full wave tube rectifier. And other aplications are imaginable, using as a choke for your tube amp. And a more ideas are always welcome. Would like to use Ocatve audio,s diaphragms (Mike Harvey) because I don,t want to change to much of this driver it is simply a winning design. Heard allready a lot of drivers, goto, we, tad, coral, ipc, cinemeccanica etc. And must say that the s2 belongs at top. And if you want to buy a driver that is as good as a s2 or a s2, well it will cost att least(hoping that it is in a good condition) $1000 a piece. And the cheapest of goto starts at $1500 a piece (correct me if i,m wrong). So i,m hoping to produce this driver for a price of $1200 a pair. Its still future thinking but hoping to have the 1st ready at the end of 2007. But there is something else i will have before that time, and thats a horn made of aluminium damped with tar (similair like goto) and ready for use for the vitavox drivers and no adapterd needed. Its a round horn with a diameter of 39 to 40 cm and a length of 43 cm, and using the curve of the famous w.e 3a horn. Futher specs and pics will follow. And didn,t make this horn just me
