I Just want to express my gratitude for how great this driver plays into my TL that was designed for eikona. Time ago eikona was replaced by tang band and now with Pluvia. Not designed for the pluvia but i am speachless how good It Is developing in terms of nuances and delicacy.i use them for vocals+Guitar music and i dont Remember a driver giving me such a pleasure .next week a wood builder Will delivery a pencil speaker to accomodate maop 11.2.
Not sure It can sound Better thanx this pluvia but Hope Is high.only then i Will know if the actual pleasure come from the special voicing of the pluvia (jazzy?) or what..Will report back of course...enjoy and as a disclaimer i am not connected at all with MA team

MAOP 7 is an A7.3 electron bombarded cone, to create a molecules thick layer of ceramic, P7HD is an A7.3 installed in the newer (nicer) basket with maybe some other tweaks,

Like adding the S (or N or R) suffix to the name of the car to indicate more power et al).

MAOP can be considered sort of like what you would do to puzzlekoat an Al-alloy cone. The !7.3eN does come very close to the M7. AT some point i will have MAOP 7eN, it will be interesting to hear that.

I am encourgaing anyone to take uo the pen & brush, and will help as u can. Posts 13, 14, 15, 16 , 101, in this thread give the meat of the technique: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/enabl-listening-impressions-techniques.119676/page-2

Searching you will find much discussion, from no way does this work (lmost always with no audition) to those that can’t live without. It mostrly removes the masking of very low signal/detail, so those listening for tonal change or other characteristics concentrate on the wrong things when listening. It took me an afternoon the first time i got to compare, Now i know what audition material to use an i can pick the EnABLed pair blind in less than 30 sec.
