The voices, the voices...
Just a word of warning, if you do decide to give this a go, remove the diaphragm first and be sure to have exactly the right size screwdriver - that bolt is prone to flaking...
Might I suggest that if Macondo has evolved to this level that you reverse engineer the S2 and use it as the basis of the RTC1, with electropolished phasing assembly, custom exit flare frequency, SET-OTL friendly 600 ohm voice-coil (Mike at Octave couldn't comply with this request alas), cobalt alloy magnetic circuit, field coil drive. Hell, why not a diamond diaphragm (no more "beneficial resonances" is one reason)? I guess one could have a new production one deep anodised for something "accuton style" if one were really that curious...
Well, you did say "absurd" :-)
