Or what's left of Vifa , Audax Hi-Vi and only in some subwoofers from Peerless lineThese makers often have drivers used in some of the finest speakers on the market, with far fewer having the large coils of dynaudio, ATC, Accuton or Morel. The first two are now solely proprietary to only one brand, so that limits their availability, but no doubt would be in many more finest products to be using them.
So although some advantages to a oversized voice coil, the diameter of such is not the single factor that defines modern leading edge drivers, demonstrated by the manufactures and buyers of the marks that many consider SOTA.
