Romy,
I find the Veravox 5 drivers are strong contenders when searching for elevated sensitivity 5" drivers. I heard the Veravox 5X in combination with Shindo SET electronics and found it very natural-sounding. Both 5ers have ceramic magnets, however (the X-version a double one, back to back). The 5S can be got from Solen, the 5X currently seems to be sold out (also in Europe). |

Your lautsprechershop.de looks like have them and they do look like interesting drivers.

I never heard any Cantare drivers. I might herd them in fact but I never care too much about drivers if there were not mounted in horn and if I heard Veravox in any of box speakers before then I might just did not pay attention to them. I do not know a lot about the box speaker as what the time of my audio Age of Enlightenment came I was in the horn universe. I went of Foxtex not because I like them - in fact I do not – but because it might be a “safe bid”. In addition the 120A model will be different from all Foxtex that I heard and the custom cone treatment that will be implemented on my drivers will make them to sound very different than what I know. I have to note that what I said in the previous sentence all is allegations and promises from other people - I have no idea if it would be accurate but it might be “acceptable” in context of MiniMe restricted demands. I had a few interning 5” drivers in my aim but I figure out that Foxtex would be the safest bid and the easiest bid. Let see how wrong I was…
BTW, if I have an easy option to try the 11cm Gorlich drivers then I would gladly do it but to pay $1.4K juts for “trying”, without anybody underwire the result, is too much
