IIRC they went through several different drivers. I'm pretty sure it was a CTS full range originally, or at least during one phase. The Pioneer FR may have been used later on, I remember something about that.
IMO the Fostex driver is too good. The point of these was to check a mix for good sound on cheap car radios, TV, clock radio, and that sort of thing. Any cheap highish Qts full range stuck in a sealed box should perform the same task if that's what you're after.
There was a fair amount of discussion about these on the newsgroup rec.audio.pro a couple decades back, if anyone cares to research it.

Lately Avantone is making a self powered set of mix cubes for $500 a pair.

Class AB plate amp and 5in driver for no bass below 100Hz. It's funny but all studios use these to check what mix sounds like on a typical crappy clock radio or boom box.

The one and only driver for this in the uk is the incredible cheap L69AW from Maplin

Measurements of the final box are equal to the auratone ones.
