It look interesting.
Thing is, I don’t see the point in their shift from 8 to 6-Ohm nominal voice coils, other than it makes the driver appear more sensitive - they tested it at 2.83V, not 1W. The irregularity in the response between 1-2kHz leaves me questioning what is taking place in that region. I hope the distortion is better than it was with the M74 midrange. At this price, I would expect a full measurement set, not just the impedance and response as seen in the data sheet.

Do you have ability take distortion measurements for H2-H9; - at SPL level of 86dB@1m, 96dB, 106dB… and perhaps a stretch goal of 109dB of the 7” dome?

Oh wow! That open ring magnet assembly is incredible. Reminds me of a woofer that used to be sold on Madisound probably 10+ years ago. Was very low profile, had a honeycomb diaphragm and a completely open magnet structure just like that. I think it was about 10" diameter, but I can't find it anywhere online after searching for about a half hour and have no recolection of the brand name.
I'll try to make a box tomorrow for it maybe measurements by end of week maybe mid next week.

disappeared into thin air (no pun intended)
I wonder what the founder is doing now…
How is the 142 mm dome suspended at the dome rim?
It looks as if there is a classic corrugated spider -to hold the VC in place I presume- , but I cannot detect the outside suspension because of the mesh.

When your try the old Prescient website, it redirects to here. And they have a subwoofer listed with the suspiciously similar model number.
These perimeter driven drivers are not new. Yes Accuton has a few models in the CELL range with it, but not all.
eg.
C168-6-990-CELL
C90-6-724-CELL
Like all neo drivers, they are lighter than ferrite motors. But apart from being novel, I'd like to see some data of the purported benefits.

I'd like to see what is going on in the 1.5kHz region by means of waterfall response and the distortion performance, at the very least. I don't know why these companies charge $1000/driver yet can't include measurements of their own products.
Audio is all about that wink wink cross fingers kinda energy 😉 . My box went incredibly badly went to cut hole router bit came loose cut a 1 inch hole when I needed 16mm so I switched sides of box cut hole 1/8th too small.
Pretty sure he designed for them before starting Bliesma.
Does anyone here know where to source the magnets used in the Bliesma, Accuton Cell ,Trillaudio type circular open motors?
Distortion at 104db at 3 ft distortion does rise a bit below 250hz 1 percent at 96db so I would say this driver is good between 250 and 2k. My box is not good at all I've already had to go to get weather stripping. Here's 104 94 89 I would say they are okay drivers.
