I've not heard anything quite like until now. How in the world did you get this sound without any hint of harshness? I'm curious, did you guys do a custom single armature driver? It certainly can't be anything off the shelf that is used in any other brands.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble- congrats again after 3 years of work... it sure is paying off. I hope you guys start to reap the rewards now.
Here's a direct quote from their website to answer your question :

"It’s true that our custom designed, single armature driver may cost us more than if we went with a dual or triple driver system, but sound, size, and quality would have been sacrificed, and your listening experience is more important than that."
