[QUOTE="NSTALN, post: 8667248, member: 588169"] To each their own...but what makes any of the drivers you listed any 'better' than the Type-X? I'm not asking the question to get into a pissing contest...I would like to know. The GS has less excursion, less coil/gap treatment, stamped frame, overhung design. I'm not saying it's a bad driver but it does lack things that can make a good driver into an exceptional driver...The GB series adds most of this their design with the exception of the overhung topology. The ID Max is a verey capable driver from what I understand...but again it's basically a log-coil large-gap design with no real coil or gap treatment. I'm sure many of these things are lost to the normal consumer who may not notice a difference in sound from one driver to another...and for that perhaps cheaper drivers are better. Again...just my opinion...take it or leave it. [/QUOTE]
