[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8868154, member: 689267"] Pioneer kind of whored the brand out to anyone and everyone that would sell it. Their rep took a bit of a beating that they never really quite recovered from. That's the reason you find their hi-end Carrozzeria, Stage 4 PRS lines in the international markets, not the U.S. What they have done for years is trickle some of that tech R&D stuff down to their US offerings, in affordable options that use much of the R&D (such as the composite/sandwiched cones, alloy domes) without the added cost of cast baskets and other goodies found on their International lines. Pioneer actually designs and builds much of their own drivers, one of the largest OEM driver manufacturers in the world.
