I did a lot of those experiments a few years back, stuffing the back chamber of S2 driver with all imaginable things. During that time I did not use a dedicated lower MF channels and was concerned only about the S2 top end. I did not detect any difference in sound, as lease in the area that I was interesting. I might presume that for lover MF the back chamber stuffing might be way more interesting direction to explore.

Still the results of the back chamber stuffing most likely will be correlateable only when the drivers are loaded in identical horn (the same throat reactance). What the chamber stuffing does? Depending of the type of the stuffing it might virtually increase of decrease the size of the chamber, driving primary resonance up or down. I presume that when S2 was made they made (if they ever did it intentionally) the chamber to damp the 330Hz exponential. The volume of air in 330Hz exponential probably is the same as 220Hz tratrix, I do not know the exact numbers, however…

…however, the air’s volume rational might be is very erroneous way to view the things as Vitivox used bogus profile horns, primary stolen from Altec and Klipsch. Therefore, in reality I would not be surprised if they never even thought seriously what they did and juts went for the profile/size of the horn that just would fit the size of their cabinets.

I think all that S2 loading sage should be completely reviewed by us. Nowdays, using S2 driver in our home installations and with contemporary playback demands we are getting from those drivers so much more then they initially intended of imagined that any “default” Vitavox intentions should not be under any attention.

With 6-chenals installation using the S2 drivers we are not in Kansans anymore…
