Your comments seem to overlook the path this thread took trashing Levinson the man, and his mannerisms over an internet connection. Perhaps if you'd read the entire thread you'd have seen how far off the topic of drivers this went from the first post. And you missed my defending of Levinson's interview quite early on. But don't let the facts get in the way of taking a cheap shot from your anonymous keyboard.
Instead you chose to show your intolerance and exactly emulated the behavior you're trashing by adding absolutely nothing to the thread. I only replied to your comment because you missed the intent of mine completely—and wasted space bringing it up.
Go ahead, waste more space attempting to prove you're something other than what you've just shown you are. Did someone piss in your Wheaties yesterday?
". . . as you have no doubt noticed, no one told the 4345 that it can't work correctly so it does anyway."—Greg Timbers
And I had the opportunity to meet and speak with him at the Daytona 24Hour several years ago. Our car had "retired" overnight and in the early hours of the morning I was out in the empty stands near the first turn with only one other person sitting there. I introduced myself as a longtime fan and he was most gracious in carrying on a conversation for maybe twenty-minutes. A true gentleman as well as top in his field.
Thanks for getting us back on topic! Drivers, indeed.

Mr. Widget:
Actually, the JC1/JC2s make my L212s sound amazing. Brings them up to the levels of my B&W 803ds which cost almost 10X the JBLs (maybe less than that in today's $). I was amazed at how close (except for the lower bass) these two were. My point being spending huge dollars does not always get you huge improvemenmts in sonic presentation, especially with speaker systems. Of course, folks often spend an exponentially increasing dollar amount for a diminishingly smaller return in performance. But the JBL/Parasound combo may indicate that there is no proper ratio for amp/preamp/speaker costs.
I really wish you could contribute about the speakers instead of cheap-shot (sic) drivel about cars and uncalled-for deriding of Mark Levinson, that you pale in comparison to. Not a cheap shot; a statement of fact... am I wrong? I think not.
Ok, I'm done... and I hope that the car and Levinson bashing will cease... back to the music and speakers.
So, does anyone have any information about these drivers? Has anyone here heard any of these systems?
From what I can guess, based on all the posts, it appears that the drivers look like JBL cones, but that's as far as it goes. My own guess is that the drivers are unique and of their own design.
Lord knows that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... Unless one of us LHS members has a connection, I suppose that the only way to tell is to open up a pair.
I just gave this thread a one star rating. That's about all the fun that's left to have with it.
