Not suggesting that Wayne drop the 2226; hey, the design is done, refined and available - why drop it if satisfies a market.
However, I recall a few requests on his ART forum for an AE version. Extrapolating from the positive comments about the 12" version of the AE in the 3Pi and others' comments about 15" AE drivers in various systems I'd guess that yes, the AE driver would likely have an incredible midrange and be more SET-friendly to boot.
I can understand Wayne not wanting to develop his speakers further. He is generous with his limited time and great knowledge, but he has other priorities than redesigning what is not broke. Still, I'd have gone with a 4Pi with his lovely wood horn if an AE version were available.
Cheers.
