Gotta hate those integral grills. I understand that the cones and domes (tweets) on these are extremely thin and fragile, but the reflections back onto the cone surface.... kinda makes the whole design of the quality motor system and cone seem pointless.... like making a 700 HP engine for a street car that weighs 4200 lbs.

Looks like what used in Kharma enigma

Not really... I have some expirience with Accuton drivers, and although I could hear the effect of the grill on the tweeters (the grill is much more dense), C95T6 sounded the same with or without grill. And I listened to them for 4 years! Nevermind the ugly grills; those are wonderfull drivers!!!

Any more specs on them? The web site doesn't seem to have anything.

Has Accuton made improvements in their motors (inside not outside)? Copper shorting rings, etc?

Got a price on those puppies David, $820 each... Sort of makes your ATdrivers look budget!

Hehe....I wonder if they sound twice as good. Why don't you buy some & let us know how they perform

They do look kinda ugly with that grill & those ears. Incidently, what exactly are those ears for?

They should make them available with & without the grills. They can't possibly be any more fragile than soft domes.

I dont think this is the concern, with a soft dome you can poke the dome and it will change shape to follow the "poke". I think these are very brittle and instead of chaging their shape you will put a hole in them. I dont know about you but I would not want to poke a hole in my $800 midrange drivers.

Edit- $800! what the hell about these costs 800 to make ZERO. Yes they look well made but nothing I wouldnt expect on a $100 woofer. Jesus lower the cost and I bet they make more money, simply because more people buy them.
