Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!

Jetter,

not sure where I saw the driver with the sticker (another forum or YouTube), but I saved a screen shot of it. I am not sure how to post a picture from my phone on this forum. It does not really matter, lots of brands use scan speak, seas, SB Acoustics and get good results. Where I take issue is when the brand changes the phase plug or back plate and calls it their own design…

I thought it was more funny than anything in a $750k speaker. You get more tech in Vivid audio (just to name one brand) for 1/10th the price. Not that tech by itself makes things good, I still like good old paper drivers.

Thanks for the follow up.  I really have no concern where a speaker manufacturer sources their drivers in case that was accidentally implied.  To me, sourcing the speakers from a driver manufacturer makes a lot of sense, but I can understand the other side.

"Sadly in the press release you could see the scan speak sticker on that midrange"

I would hope it is NOT an off the shelf model and at least a tweaked version?

$750K for subs?  Are there that many people rich enough or foolish enough to plop down $750,000 for these? 

It is my understanding that's the price for the entire mains + subs (and electronic crossover) system, not that that makes it a glowing bargain by any stretch of the imagination. Sonus Faber should be commended though for going the active filter route here, which at the same time makes you wonder why this is not becoming a more widespread solution with anything other than statements systems. 

REO Speedwagon is awesome! Saw them at Folsom field in 1981!

Arrrrrrggghhhhh!!!!!!!
