Maybe they couldn't sell any after the crazy price rise a while ago.

or new models on the boat - what's worse - turning inventory at a loss or sitting on it for years?

Chris,   any good uses for these two drivers in your mind?

John probably has it right.

There was a dramatic rise in prices of neo drivers that has tempered as the high price caused a drop in sales.

Either of these would probably work in Frugel-Horn Mk3.

Given the way TB does lines, and PE's control of the NA market i doubt that it is new models without PE controlling when. More likely is a simplistic economic model where sales are tied to pricing, forgetting we are still battling an economic downturn.

well IINM one of them is used in the Decware DNA enclosure - so with appropriate software modelling, likely an MLTL, BIB or other flavor of BLH - who knows, even a "ken"?

but then Dave already confirmed your suspicion as to part of that
