Commercial speaker using multiple Purifi drivers

Hmm.

So you have one of TOTL tweeters at the time (Scan-Speak D2905/9x00 series large soft domes released in 1990-1995) and Vifa midwoofers drivers which have some of the flattest smoothest frequency response available (at the time/all time). A pair in parallel probably needs little more than 10W to sing, because as you probably know, a big cabinet does wonders for bass.

It’s not sure your argument holds all the water…

Good drivers clearly matter, and rational design matters. Otherwise, you could have dropped any replacement drivers into it instead of getting the original classic drivers. The processes of the design matter.

Perhaps if your argument was “stamped frames are not as bad as people believe” or “you don’t need fancy unobtainium materials” then I’m totally with you.
My argument was drivers cost has no major impact on retail price and sound of the speaker. Marketing policy and positioning of the speaker in the manufacturer's hierarchy of the products does have a major impact on the sound of the speaker. Also that progress in drivers development for the mainstream BR boxes is nonexistent. Different cone materials and magnet materials sound different like they always did and Purifies will be soon forgotten and abandoned like any other hopla because they are not sufficiently different from the average designs.
Also , those Living Voice boxes are not big and Bass is the weakest part of the speaker. It produces carboard box quality farts in truest British tradition. And they need closer to 30-60W not 10

Purifies know it themselves that's why the pricing is so aggressive. They need to cash out as soon as possible and get the investment back plus a hefty profit to introduce something else to bored public who seen everything already and is never hungry.
 
Kawero has a couple of models now using the Al cone Purifi woofers.

Kawero are lovely speakers for elevated tastes. I would love to have a pair when I want to listen to spiritual music and opera voices. The small problem is I dig ditches for living and my natural environment is fags yodeling the country tunes. This can make anybody bloodthirsty ( well anybody except 95% of Americans ). The main problem of high end speakers is that they turn more aggressive genres into wedding band patties- no exceptions.
