My experience with HiVi's woofers wasn't very positive, one of the worst drivers I've ever measured. The planar ribbons are o.k. but their quality control has been inconsistent. The Fountek ribbons don't cost that much more and they perform better.

re: the hi-vi woofers, that's why i asked - any other suggestions for decent-quality reasonably priced woofers?
re: the tweeters, that's where taste, i guess, comes in to play. assuming the founteks are similar to the aurum cantus tweets, then i think the hi-vi tweets are much better...
