New AMT driver?

I found this product when searching for air motion tweeters on Alibaba. It looks awfully similar to the BG Neo8, but is apparently a new AMT design. The specs say it's useful down to about 300 Hz which sounds great. I got a price quote of $65 for a single unit which isn't bad (but unfortunately the shipping is $75 to Sweden). Is it a new driver, and if so, has anyone got some comments about/experience with it?
 
It looks like they make AMT's, but this is probably not one of them. What, at first glance, seems to be a pleated diaphragm looks more like printed tracks on closer inspection. The curving of the tracks visible through the lowest level of slots tends to confirm this.

The idea of slots in the verical plane is wrong for an AMT, so the product is being mis-described.
