Good point generally but not applicable in this case.
There is a difference between using “for sound” some vacuum tubes that were designed to be use for voltage regulation or for TV application vs. to use the compression drives that sole purpose of existence was actually to produce sound.
I have written many times that Pro audio have VERY much different objective, methods and application then home high fidelity installations. Thos companies of course do not design drivers for home sound or in this matter “for Sound” at all. The quality of Sound, is hardly consider in pro audio as a tradable commodity. Sure, they capitalize on “better sound” but their demands and the references points are way below of what home-audio people could demand.
A minor exception my be made by an isolated small groups working for large companies that decided to come up with intrinsically commercially-failed model, I know Japanese do it sometimes. In that case the group can afford to listen the things and if the members of the group are not morons then they might cone up with something interesting…Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
