Wasn't there a post about a year ago touching on this? I thought Sushi said that all the drivers were OEM'd in China to Ian's exact specs.
As far as the magnet size, my thought process goes like this: Larger magnet = larger magnetic field. Larger magnetic field = more current to move driver. More current to move driver = less efficiency. Am I wrong? Probably.

The efficiency of a speaker is dependent on a lot of things: the number of windings in the voice coil, the size of the magnet, the type of enclosure (sealed or ported), the stiffness and mass of the speaker cone, ....
It's a sum of many complex parts. It's easy to measure though. It's just a ratio of electical power in vs. acoustic energy out.

Yeah, that's what sushi said on 9/30 in HT.

I think i can field this one, the drivers are made in China, BY Axiom.
So simply put, yes, the drivers are all Axiom.
What?
And you thought they only had the plant in Dwight?
Shame on you. Such preconceptions should be tossed out the door.
I have many stray preconceptions that got crushed after the tour. (More to come, busy writing).
