How can you even say that? It looks like the typical plastic cladded garbage that big name companies are spewing out these days. It also looks like it has no cooling other than some pinky finger sized holes in the basket all the way at the bottom. For about the same price, Id take an SA8 that has been proven to be well engineered.

If Jacob says they look like high quality speakers thats good enough for me. I would think he would know what a high quality speaker looks like.

I've seen the cut-away, talked to the engineer at length, and also heard them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

They are not up to the SA-8 in terms of SPL and abuse tolerance -- but IMO, they are a quality driver and sound quite good.

The cooling is going to be fairly high velocity behind the former then in turn out the frame vents due to the solid core of the driver as well. It will cool more efficiently than the other size Type-R drivers that feature a pole vent.

The newer Type-R drivers are not plastic clad at all -- the visible part of the driver is mostly a large 1-piece cast frame / shorting ring / heat-sink assembly.

PS: I'd be happy if you did choose the SA-8 ; just being unbiased as possible in discussing the competition //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
