They come out from "nothing" (even considering some eventual reverse engineering) with a set of 5 drivers supposedly to be sonically matching.
During the development process they certainly got all kind of sounds while prototyping and had to discover what each specific part of the driver does sound-wise to be able to match they all. If they documented the process (engineers usually do), they could tune characteristics on purpose to match some specific criteria.
Certainly there would have limitations, specially related with the
limitations of the driver design, but with a fully documented
development process they certainly can tune a lot of things with certain
prediction of the resulting sound.
If they have the tooling it hard to believe the process would be really expensive with the unique logistics they have in China. Ever if they are using some very expensive custom alloy to build the drivers those are still metal and the discards can be fully and easily reused, that would not be free but far from expensive as buying all the thing again. In China this kind of arrangement can be made literally just knocking at the door of someone who is able to reuse the material.
