Upgrade Druid IV to new Superfly 1.B driver?


Hello all:

I am interested in making sweet spot of my druid IV larger.

Is it possible to swap out driver for new Superflu 1.B driver?

Is this a good idea? Has anyone done it? What are downsides?

Thank you

Sean suggested the new drivers to me. I have the nanos on order...... However my Druids are internally modified with a griewe wedge, extra bracing plus soundcoat and Mundorf/Duelund hipass........ All suggested by Sean.

I have Libtec cables and internal harness.

The HO drivers are more dynamic than the Mk4/08 at the expense of a little mid range warmth. The resistor value changes from 12ohm in the Mk4 to 10ohm for the HO. The tweeter is definitely a little hotter because of this. The extra cabinet damping and griewe loading have cleaned up the sound............. More transparent ......... But at the expense of Mk4 darkness

The nanos will run 12ohm resistors.

I agree with Phil, the Mk4/08 are wonderful as they are. The newer Superfly is a departure, more transparent and better bass, I believe to appeal to more people......... The Druids were a little polarising but excell in "guts" in the live music way...... If that makes sense?
