RE: LS3/5s vs Modern Speakers

JBLs pro drivers have pretty much always been two steps ahead of the curve.

It seems to take a generation before things trickle down to their domestic drivers and another before other manufacturers catch up.

These days it is becoming difficult to find drivers without shorting rings once you get into the mid-range of bare drivers.
But JBL have kind of upped the ante with their split-coil woofers which feature a dynamic brake (basically a third central coil which is shorted) preventing the driver from destroying itself through over-excursion. As far as I know they sadly don't sell them yet as bare drivers.
Although that may be more of interest for pro use or some from the open baffle fraternity.
