The 6moons just announced that that The Orgue Company made 6.5" driver after the similar Mitsubishi driver:
"The original Diatone P-610 was made by Mitsubishi beginning in 1947 until 1992. The Diatone P-610 has sold widely in the world for 50 years and been popularly used by millions of people. The Diatone P-610 we currently produce is made by Orgue on the same production line that Mitsubishi used while we have improved frequency response and power handling." Orgue also makes the Mini and Reference monitors employing this driver, with the latter claiming a response of 38Hz-20kHz at 98dB.”
I deal neither with Orgue driver nor with Mitsubishi drivers but my hat off for any company that tries to use leather suspension. Lather is extremely interesting material for suspension and if the paper/leather transition is done properly then it serves very beneficially, practically free from any known suspension colorations.
