Hi DC,
I bow to your superior post count and vast experience. I did not exclude. I tried to point out that your new ideas aren't, and the driver in question isn't the "best" solution. I also tried to point you to research your topic, which should have given some information on the efficacy of the driver in question. Again, your chosen driver will "work" and researching the topic shows this albeit with some modification. What some here including myself have done is tried the various drivers including those from other Infinity lines and have come to the conclusions we have come to based on our own listening experiences. If you don't believe me or us so be it.
The driver you mention is available cheaper elsewhere for those interested in trying the comparisons. There are other options available as well which are probably "better" which have already been discussed. The other option is to take the already done comparisons at face value and decide what is best for you.
It would be great for you to tell us what you think of the various drivers including originals in your own listening tests.
I value your opinion but it doesn't seem to be the consensus and my own listening tests tell me so.
We are collectively hoping that a member here comes up with a proper replacement and then hopefully "The Polydome Alternative" debate will come to an end.
Thanks,
Mark K.
