Given a company in the UK like Falcon - pretty small - has gone to the

yours? If it really is that good, would be a winner.


**The NEAR drivers are unique and are what makes the speakers so
brilliant. They are also subject to a number of patents (which may, or
may not have run out). The KEF B110 driver, by comparison, is a very
simple thing to duplicate. Here's one NEAR patent:

So what? Unless you are trying to say something made 30 years ago can't be
reproduced today? Do they use unobtainium?

A patent for something no longer of commercial value is worthless too, BTW.
