Yes, they are. Focal's PolyKevlar drivers. The new KRK's - no. Focal pulled the plug on OEM driver sales (with 3 exceptions - one US hifi & 2 French PA co.) in 2001/2. But I wouldn't be surprised if they ramped up again due to the virtual flood of Chinese drivers. Other monitor manufacturers need an alternative & Focal has the capacity in France. And we all need something to sell back to the Chinese . . . they are fussy buyers & they love Euro goods.
The Krauss/US is superb. I just hit HDTracks for the 24/96 – thanks for the tip, Eric. Dimming of the Day . . . wow.
