Good to know it's back.

But (sigh~ what can escape from a 'but'? ), the new product line looks not so attractive to me.

I'd love to see their new Audiom series. I'm (still) using their old Audiom 7k - a 7" mid which I bought 15 years ago. Before that, I remember seeing their catalog (in the "Loudspeaker Design Cookbook") about a whole comprehensive line of pro/studio drivers from 4or5" to 15", all coming with very impressive specs.

They are long gone.

too pricey!

I have a large collection of focal drivers (umm..27 or so I think)...and I've always thought they were worth it.

These ones on sale are all 4 ohms. That kinda is car audio territory.
