The paper drivers, at least, look like the best of the vintage stuff. Of course it's hard to say without hands on how GIP products have translated from Vintage WE and, judging by the literature, either the "vintage market" is irresistable to them or this is another case where the savvy "consumer" is left to his own devices as far as musically-significant adaptation and application of the available "product". I always get suspicious when I see the words "Full Range" applied to any one driver; it seems like an intictment of the developers. But this may just be residual from the vintage market pandering, and, in practice, one might adapt any whizzerless driver for use in whatever range it can cover acceptably, given acceptable cost/benefit in the end use, for the end user. The overall quality looks good. I would be quite surprised if they are any sort of a "value" in terms of price; but anything that can be put straight into use as-is and subsequently ignored is for me the height of luxury, and worth a considerable premium.
I wonder if the "banks of capacitors" are batteries for the FCs? That seems more likely than X/O components.
