It is not about right or wrong. It's about preference of the majority. Very predictable, is it not? The other one though, is unpredictable 😀
Do you mean a driver born with good genes will be the King ? Damned !
Luckilly it's not an election, because at the end the winner always lies to us and don't tell us the whole Truth 😉

I just put in my vote and again on this round I'm puzzled by the scores I see.
I voted differently from the main stream but it's still early. I hope we can draw in more voters. X deserves a bigger audience for his troubles and time put in or else I guess we may have seen the last round.
I'm not taking a gamble on driver names, the measurements have been put up already though in a different order. The one I voted for seemed most neutral to me and had the ability to display voice separate from all instruments. Hope I made a good choice.

Yes you're right. That's what I feel with your chosen driver, when clip 2 just started and there was audience scream. Always got my attention. Another strength of the driver is that it is less fatiguing, probably low distortion driver.
But I tend to prefer the one with the strongest power and attack, which makes the piano sound so real...
I just want another excuse to buy another good driver. Truth is, I never expected to have such a nice collection of full range drives that sound this good. I also have a collection that sound bad. These tests allow me to dollar-cost-average my purchases.
....which I suppose is one of the intents of Mr x😱)
However, I suspect a plot by the non-linear camp!! Infiltration is the key word, or maybe in their case. Non-filtration!! Muhahahaaaaa!!!!

Godzilla, you need a metal cone in your collection !
Is it limited to 4" to 3" drivers ?
PS : I would like also someone send this to X for test : http://solen.ca/fr/produits/haut-parleurs/haut-parleurs-residentiels/haut-parleurs-de-mediums/ma5/ developped to work in OB from 500 to 18 k !

I think you volunteered yourself. 🙂
That's a pricey paper cone driver never heard of MA5 no relation to MA A5 if one were to exist.
That's true ! Made in France... I know there are some lover of their drivers in France & Canada... France is Far from you, Canada not so much ! The brand has a long experience of FR, and that's one was designed for OB only and has very low QTS : funny !
Too pricy for me ! Could be more attracted by the 13 cm Satori ! at close size !
(I'm looking at your experiments with Jeshi about sloated mid-bass ; )

I just noticed that one more vote just came in and we are starting to see a trend. However more people need to vote in order for us to have more statistical significance. At 23 votes and assuming Poisson statistics, we need about 5 votes differential to exceed the random distribution.
So then you need at least 3 more votes for A assuming no votes for the other options, in order to show the bare minimum statistical significance by Poisson?
Or the two close votes needs a second poll to see if there is a concistency in the 5 rd vote ! My second choice is not the second result of this poll ! 🙁 I have a doubt with my ears now !

Well, there is already a statistical significance between the driver with least votes and the two highest votes. That we can say at present with the votes already cast that it is above random coincidence.
Maybe i can help 🙂 had half an hour into headphones today and clearest blue plus G will have a local race here
tomorrow to see which is my real preference among those two. At my system into headphones clearest blue was most delicate and audiophile but G seems closest to reference track.I dont understand what you are talking about 😛 In an off road like this, no way a mercedez can win
This is a crazy race. Very crazy Look who's winning...
.... 
Jay, the clearest blue as a second position I wanted to say ! Because I voted for a red car for the first place !
I have to say I rated my second choice very fastly, so the second place could have been the other red car (the one which are second also in the poll ! )
But what said my ears rapidly listening the second and third clip ? : second is the clearest blue 🙄 !

Now I'm more confused. I think I will just pass. Even your red car is no better than a TC9.
But the Tang Band (notice the downward response with built in baffle step compensation) is good for two or three way... (or FR with notch at 20k?). I think the strong "impact" that I heard was related with the built in BSC and the fatigue was related with the 20k peak The experience is a little biased as The reccording loop had (add ?) a climbing curve (sibilance) and I listen to the clips on aluminium drivers ! (But heard any sibilance or climbing curve in the ref clips !). It seemed to me th choice I did is the only precise one with piano and cymballs ! Some may have a better dynamic maybe ?! But not a better micro dynamic imho ! And what are we waiting for with 2" or 3" size ? 🙂 ! But if you read my txt : I have some doubts on the clip 3 to chose the best one... but according to me, only the clip 2 can give a real way to judge a driver ! clip 1 is amplified music and rock : very hard to judge a driver and even a speaker with it : ask a lot of listenings with rock!) and clip 3 ref seems to show a reccording which has a certain light (or was it the voice of the female singer ?).
Am I the only one to hear a great difference between the ref clip and the reccorded clips (with nearly all the drivers but the ones lacking of resolution : here very few !) ?
Is it the room or the analog to digital stuff which adds its color to the mid-high ? Fixable with an EQ and AB test with good headphones ????
@ Jay : I assume you voted for the second red car 😉 or you simply like more casual listening than me ? It's possible as the listening has also to see with self biased tastes ! I have to say I have anything against distorsion and color if I find the sound is more enjoyable ! I just listen real instruments to have clearer reference sometimes !
