How about Brand X?


Another interesting knock off is "Brand X." The proprietor is W. Mark Hellinger, and he wrote to me a month or two ago after some people were discussing Brand X components on this forum. He said he used JBL components in the past but needed a low cost replacement so had copies made in China. The magnets are ferrite without shorting rings, and the electro-mechanical specs are similar to JBL drivers. He claims they're good for about 1/2 the power of the comparible JBL part and correspondingly reduced max SPL.
