Re: So much for quality drivers making better sound!

Tweak---I know what you mean, I have a basement full of nice JBL and Altec drivers but I also get very good sound from a K-33 in a Peavey FH-1. I think the fact that the Altec and JBL stuff had it's origins in motion picture sound and not home use has much to do with the way it was made. For home use a driver isn't worked near as hard and thus maybe need not be made so fanatically, I know PWK was of that opinion as I heard him express it so many moons ago. Sometimes it isn't so much the quality of the tool that's important but the manner in which it's used. The Dunlavey speakers use inexpensive (even by direct-radiator standards) VIFA drivers yet they are pretty good, at least by non-horny standards. :-)
