You make it sound like copying idea's only happens in the field of car audio. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Happens all the time in the real world. Just seems like more people complain about it with car audio.

Right from the man himself. This is really just a baby version....
From Dan Wiggins

".....It's been a fun little project... Basically we got tired of the 1mm/2mm increments that everyone was claiming over each other, and decided to "go nuclear". So here's a motor (and will be a full driver at CES, once the patents are fully filed on the suspension) that can do 82mm one way. I figure when someone else gets within 15-20mm of where we're at right now, we'll just stretch it out (or add a 3rd gap plate) and add another 40-50mm one way..."

Unfortunately a driver with this motor is estimated at $4000-5000.

That's $4-5000 USD. We're looking at around what, $6500 for that thing?

its an old focal concept anyways...not the ultra high xmax, but the cylinder magnets. Ultra high xmax is just a natural progression in spl drivers. I agree with dukk, propaganda.
