Athena Technologies Speakers. Driver manufacturer?

manxam · 7th February 2004, 11:37 PM

My sister recently purchased a set of Athena AS-B2 speakers for use in her den and I was wondering about the quality of these speakers.

From a little searching on the net i've come up with many favourable reviews and found that they're made by Audio Products international (Energy, Mirage, et cetera).

Upon inspection of the drivers, they seem fairly decent and the xover seems reasonably well designed for such an inexpensive speaker.

My question is: does anyone know who manufactures these drivers? (Not that it matters a whole lot, but I'm an inquisitive guy:P)

The magnet of the drivers is hidden beneath a steel cap (shielded) so i can't grab any numbers.

Thanks!

I think they are custom-made...API is large enough to make it possible.

Yes, the Athena Speakers web page has a video presentation (Flash plugin required) that specifically says API designs and manufactures all their own drivers.
