I disagree. It is pointless discussing the sound of badly implemented drivers but if a driver used in a way how it should be, than I feel it is perfectly reasonable to talk how the driver sounds. When I asked about the driver’s sound I presumed that the person who used the driver within his system had taken out the driver whatever was necessary in context of his system.

| Romy Hi ,yes the Gamma does use the 703 ( slightly modified ) with a milled horn |

Hm, they built for Gamma’s tweeter a custom horn? That is very-very good, and it is another indication is that the designers knew what they were doing. The horn of ET-703 is not what impressed me generally, and it is very questionably migh used in context of Gamma. Frankly speaking just looking at the profile of that custom horn if you would be a lot of expressed want Gamma designers had in their mind (I think I know what they did without looking on it). Going in a dangerous territory I would propose then there is no winning way to use Gamma with a tweeter compression driver. But here we enter the area off my abstract disagreements with Gamma…

Yes, I have seen that Living Voice uses it. Frankly I was not impressed HOW it was used. I did not mention it at the British site, to bogus contingent of “critics” was there, but I think if that driver is good then there are better ways to use it in the Kevin Scott’ prototype.
