Swans M3A: https://swanspeakers.com/product/m3a/
I notice Swans is replacing the dome midrange with a 2" metal midrange.
There are the Swans M3A on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0732N6FPZ/? coliid=I2G4GJQEIWZ1BJ&colid=Z6IY4LNLDFRM&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_itI love swan but they seem to just make new iterations none stop. And since they removed a vast majority of their products from the US market, they are pretty hard to find. Or you pay huge premiums on places like AliExpress.
The DIY 3.1 is still available i believe.
That's why I'm here now. One of the oddest thread titles i've ever seen. ...RSS reader doesn't show when threads were created.I thought I've read ... Midrange drone drivers banned ?"

"Resonance suppression chambers" per Yamaha:What is the black metal device place behind the 2 dome speakers from Yamaha?
... in other words—discarding some marketing guff—something akin to KEF's LS50 Meta, but via a different implementation.Mounted on the back of the tweeter and midrange speaker units are newly developed R.S. Chambers that suppress unnecessary tube resonance generated behind the diaphragm. Two specially shaped tubes installed in accordance with our proprietary acoustic analysis cancel tube resonance. These R.S. Chambers achieve higher-resolution audio reproduction by eliminating the need for a large quantity of sound-absorbing material inside the enclosure that tends to smooth the frequency response of each speaker unit and might degrade minute nuances of the sound.

I was sooo tempted to buy a used mid for my 1st speaker.
Bliesma domes should be out this year.

The weird thing about dome mids is most of them are rather large in overall size compared to the radiating surface. For example, the ATC is somewhere around the physical size of a 6-7" midwoofer but it's closer to a 3.5" radiating surface.
Their large physical diameter means further spacing between it and the tweeter. And most of these dome mids (IME) are crossed somewhere in the 3kHz region. That doesn't leave much room for a proper blending at the crossover point between it and the tweeter relative to the physical center-to-center spacing. I don't recall seeing measurements but I imagine there's a discontinuity there; especially vertically.
