I just had this show up on my facebook page, wondering what you guys think about it?

MV One – Davis Acoustics
Apparently its using this driver (their own product?) which costs about 785 euros a piece according to Google???
Fullrange speaker Davis Acoustics 20DE8, 8 ohm, 8.7 inch
Seems like a pretty expensive driver to me..?

Pretty much everything advertised on FB is trash, but who knows, there might be a diamond in the rough.
I usually just scroll through and don't pay attention.
That driver has to have the flattest FR ever for a full range driver, which sounds fishy to me.
No rising FR, no hump or break up, and of course, no dispersion measurements either.
Hey, if someone wants to test this at that price, I would surely love to see the results in the real world! 😀

I agree the graph is too smooth for a FR driver. The tiny dip just over 5kHz look to me like a cross-over point. I suspect the measurement are real, but taken from a 2-way speaker. They're not the first company to fudge graphs though. Unfortunately many of them do it and have for years.
I featured these speakers on my blog show review back in 2015. I thought they sounded like very good fullrange drivers and I would love to have a pair if they weren't so expensive.

I heard a pair of thos ethat Chris was refinishing, big engaging, but quite coloured. Different room different kit could make a big difference thou. And as Joeseph suggests cost more than my car.

Hi,
the DAVIS 8-inch fullrange has been around for some time. As all large fullrange drivers, it´s not perfect. Monsieur Visain has made some pretty uncommon design decisions and his drivers differ from most others in the class, but I´m not judging whether this is good or bad...
There has been an extensive test of the drivers in the German "Hobby Hifi" magazine, but I´m not sure if I´m allowed to simply post it here - depends on copyright.
Somewhere I´ve read some nice comments of the ready-made DAVIS box, but forgot where... sorry.
The relatively high price comes from small numbers of fabrication and is in good company with other french, german and polish fullrange drivers. Pricewise, drivers like these will never be able to rival asian mass production units.
All the best

We often see extracts posted, they are fine, the whole article would not unless Hobby HiFi (or the author?) put it up online themselves, then you can link to it.
