I laud David Dicks for starting his own brand of drivers. I hope they are a good alternative to Fostexes.
when buyiong any driver, one must look at the following:
1. How accurate are the T/S params (measured versus actual). For example, Lowther is known to have actual T/S params WAYY off from pulished ones.
2. What isthe frequency curve of the driver?
3. What is the distortion produced by the driver?
4. What is the Xmax of the driver?

All of these are important. I would stress actual values versus publsihed ones in all cases. If anyone buys Nirvana, drivers, please do publish your experiences measurements. Fostexes tend to behave as published. Lowthers do not. Lots of material on actual experiences with lowthers existis, and I am looing forward to seeing people's actual experience with the nirvana driver.

Also, I really hope Dicks can come down to GPAF, since then we can all experience & report on the nirvana drivers.
