Do not have experience with the driver. Retail price is around 1000 usd per driver. Celestion/Kef design team head is Mark Dodd, previously working with Tannoy and Vitavox.

I was quite confident that they used other drivers as in the interview that I watched with the new Klipsch  owner he claimed that he started Klipsch on compression driver division and it is what he used. It was very highly unlikely as some other comments he made we're not consistent. He also made some incorrect comments about the profile of his high frequency horn calling its tactics. In another words, mostly what they doing nowadays would be something that Klipsch would call bulshit. Saying that I do not pass any positive for negative judgment about that selection driver that they choose. I never heard it but I know that selection typically never produced any interesting drivers that I've seen. "I wish I could score everything for horns." - Richard Wagner.
