interesting switching to the Accuton.....and it appears to be a ceramic membrane. possibly the woofers are the same as the 11" ceramic woofers in my MM7 main towers. the mid's appear to be different.
ceramic is so light and stiff, if you can tame it's tendency to ring you have a winner. and I much prefer the presentation of a ceramic driver to any metal driver I have heard. it reminds me of the delicacy of a full range ribbon or planer.
I recall when I switched from the VR9SE's to the EA MM3's in 2006 one thing I preferred was the presentation of the Accuton Ceramic mid range compared to the VR9SE mid range.....and I loved the sound of the VR9SE's. (I never intended to change from Von Schweikert, I had ordered VR11SE's that never got built so I moved on). it was simply a preference thing about the sound of the mid range. I had enjoyed the Accuton ceramic mid in my Kharma Exquistes too. I felt like the ceramic mid and ribbon tweeter were and still are a sweet combination and always synergistic.
I would expect that I would really enjoy the sound of these new VS's.
