FaitalPro HF1460 vs. Eminence N314X 1.4" TexTreme compression driver experience?

There is a new rave review of home speakers using 1.4" TexTreme CD, Oaudio Icon-12. Only candidates seem to be FaitalPro HF1460 and Eminence N314X, with the former at double the price at $730/each. Any experience with either one? (Rooting for cheaper one to be as good...)
BTW, anyone recognize the horn or the 12" driver used in that speaker? Hoping for DIY/oem alternatives.

That's good to know because the price point of SB Audience 65CDN-T is certainly a lot friendlier. Edge-of-art diaphragms like Be and Carbon seem to be pushing the resonance frequency higher and higher, but I personally enjoy the Titanium sparkle near 10-12kHz. I currently have B&C DE880TN 1.4" Titanium clone and enjoy its sound. I wonder if SB Audience Titanium version would be enough of an upgrade when considering presumably similar Ti sound..?
