I should test more drivers though, do you have any suggestions?

Hi Bert,

The Ciare HX 160 is interesting:

There are specs and a frequency response curve at this link.

It seems like a nice mix of old (paper cone) en new (ribs in the cone, neodymium magnet). I know conventional wisdom says the old-fashioned plain-paper and alnico sounds best, but some iNovations really are advances. I have little Monacor drivers, SPH-30X drivers with kevlar cones and neodymium magnets, that make live really hard on my Lowther drivers. The Lowthers are still better, but the mini-Monacor drivers are too close for comfort. Fantastic!

Anyway, I am interested in the Ciare driver. Apart from Fostex, it seems the most likely candidate.

Ivo
