No, the Eminent Technology LFT-8 uses drivers all designed (in the 1980's) and made by Bruce Thigpen. LFT stands for Linear Field Transducer, which describes one element of the driver's design: Unlike the single-ended Magneplanar drivers (magnets on only one side of the Mylar), the LFT has magnets on both sides of the Mylar, creating a magnetic field in which the force remains constant regardless of the excursion and location of the vapor-deposited conductive traces on the Mylar (while the Maggies have actual wire as conductors, the LFT uses a lower-mass coating as a conductor. It looks like the traces on a circuit board).

There are two LFT drivers in each LFT-8 (one above the other), which reproduce 180Hz up to 10kHz---with no crossover in that frequency band! A single ribbon tweeter handles 10kHz and up, a single 8" dynamic woofer in a sealed enclosure 180Hz and lower, both with 1st order filters. 5' tall by 13" wide. $2499/pr.
