I had dinner with Mike Harvey from Octave this weekend. Mike acquired the intellectual rights, tooling, drawings and jigs needed to manufacture the S2's. I believe that newly manufactured S2's will be available very soon. Mike is sufficiently thorough to ensure that it will be done properly.

Well, Guy

Mike has been talking about it for years and for years he has been saying that the New S2 will be coming soon. Well, if it is will happen eventually then it would be very welcoming events. Obviously Mile knows the S2 drivers manufacturing as no one else and if anyone would try to push anything in Vitavox direction then it should be him.

Still, despite that he owns the original Vitavox production technology it is not necessary mean that that he will end up with good sound of out those drivers. Most likely it will be a different driver, perhaps inspired by Vitavox S2 but it not will be the same at it was 50 years ago – it might be better or worse but not the same. I think Mike will be wrong it he do for direct imitation as there are some thing that could/should be improved in S2.

Anyhow, please keep posted about the Mike’s progress and I would be very interest to get one of those new Vitavox S2 drivers to see what it will be able to do. If Mike would be interested for some kind of Beta testing (that he should do I feel) then I would be happy to assist him.

Rgs, Romy
