Absolutely. I stated in the video that I "assume" SB makes them but I am told that is incorrect. Frankly, it's of little consequence to me who makes them. I just don't want to spread misinformation if I can help from it. So, no big deal... I'll just do another video tonight.
I have reached out to Harman, though, to see if they can offer any insight. We shall see.
You're just gonna leave it there? I would taking a sick day, and staying up half the night, and forgetting to bathe.
According to former SB people Revel now use SB copies in their designs. Probably equally good though. Maybe its more to the story also.....

I don't have a clue about Harman's relations with SB or how the current Revel drivers compare with the SB's. All I can say is that the SB's are exceptional, to the point where I'm using them in my new BMR and Mini. Plus, they're very reasonably priced. If Harman's are copies, it just goes to show how important even minor per-unit cost savings are to a real speaker company.Yikes. That's a great way to get a massive lawsuit from a large company - talk about internal affairs.
Yes, of course it's important to any manufacturing. Doesn't mean that publicly talking about it from current or past employees should be done though.I don't have a clue about Harman's relations with SB or how the current Revel drivers compare with the SB's.

I think Revel can withstand this onslaught, assuming they really did use genuine SB drivers initially. If you then outsource drivers that look pretty much identical to SB Acoustic ceramics, you should expect that might get out. Most of us smaller speaker "companies" are very up front about the heritage of our drivers.Yes, of course it's important to any manufacturing.
