yes it looked exactly the same as mine guarneri homage. I mentioned stick only for reference. no matter is there stick,or no stick, or sonus faber put stick with pamela anderson or mussolinni- that is NOT how we should recognize driver. its build parameters says all- first esotar versions no matter by which manufacturer its used- sonus faber, merlin, eaglestoneworks, unicef, NASA- the most common thing in esotar 1 is magnet size- esotar magnet size is 110mm , while esotec is smaller. that is MAIN reason when we can or can not say driver belong to one or other basic model produced by Dynaudio. I am not sure why I have been atacked-I am not saying anything bad(or good) about this speaker performance or build quality. all I say is that guarneri homage used esotec driver. at the same time i had and still have extreemas and amators mk1- they both had 110mm magnet size and definately IS one of esotar versions. that fact does not tells anything about these speakers performance either. just raw fact. why its so hard to face it? I would not publish any info which could bring missinformation to our audiogon members comunity. Anyway, sorry. I just wanted to help. now I see I shouldnt did that.
