I have a really nice pair of these drivers...sounds wonderful in an FH3 but I really want to move up in the FF line (already have the FF85WK's).
As for the "black" here is what I got for an answer from the previous owner:
I was told it was just a black marker like a "Sharpie". It does look natural & consistent in its application to the cone only. No "marker" added to any other part of speaker. If I did not know the driver then I would think that its was naturally flat black. So it actually adds no mass (aka enabling) so it would measure & sound exactly as the original.
Seems correct cause it doesn't sound like there are any anomalies...
Price is $120.00CND plus actual shipping from Saskatoon SK Canada S7R1E6..
