Found them from this Ohio based company who builds some really small speakers and some big/expensive stuff:

Here's the data:

FWIW, I have (had) a pair of FR89EXs. Personally, I preferred the cheap Aura NS3s, although it wasn't really a scientific comparison. Depends on context / usage model, I expect.

I have a boat-load of them. Was exploring them for substitutes for Fostex FF85k... they are OK, i prefer FF85wk (which is a step up from the FF85k), and Mark Audio Alpair6.2 Paper & Metal. Between the 3 of them they provide 3 different sets of strengths so there should be something for everyone.

At this point i'm exploring whether i can use them in a budget high end computer speaker (250-350/pr) with a T-amp. One of the local Mac dealers is asking for something.

I built a pair of desk top Martello speakers using them last year.  I have been really happy with the results.  I am using them with a sub.  Here is a Pic.  More in my gallery.



They were much less expensive when I bought them last year, so I'm not sure they would be my first choice now considering the offerings from Fostex and Mark Audio in the same price range.
