. . . apparently sound and measure quite well. The raw drivers USED to be available from PE - see link. Reasonable sensitivity and power handling, nice flat response on-axis, high 16 Ohm impedance allowing use of 2 or more in parallel for higher sensitivity. They could be used as nice midranges in a 3-way configuration, either covering an exceptionally wide band or with more conventional crosspoints (say 300 to 3K) and a true first-order crossover. Think MMTMMWW, with a really efficient tweeter.

Only trouble is they cost too much ($170 each!) and you can't get 'em anymore.
