Just goes to show you that drivers aren't everything!



Certainly! My Hales System Two's use Dynaudio drivers, but they sound VERY different from Dynaudio's own speakers.

Driver manufaturers (wherever on the globe they are located, which is technologically irrelevant in this era) can make essentially identical-looking drivers but with totally different T/S parameters. Also, even if the drivers AND cabinet alignments are identical, you tweak the crossover parts by 10%, and you'll get totally different-sounding speakers.
