Greg Takesh makes these handmade speaker himself. Yes, he makes the drivers by hand. They have a magnetic planar bass/midrange that uses copper foil on the light mylar and therefore is said to have less mass than magneplanar and B$G Neos. The midrange is efficient and it rolls off on the top itself so there is absolutely no crossover on the bass/midrange panel. It runs from 40 hz to wherever it rolls off (not specified). Then a planar or ribbon type tweeter does the rest with apparently just a cap for the xover. From what I can gather from posts all over the net these things may be the best planars in the world.

However, Greg is a one man army and it takes him a month to make a pair. $9000 for the big one and $6000 for one with less drivers (2 of each instead of three).

There is one dealer in NY and he will show at the Captitl Audio fest in Nov. A friend of mine is thinking of getting a pair. I bet they are killer!
