Questions: 1) does the sleek custom have the exact same driver as sa6?
2) how much is the sleek customs?

I find the FreQShow bass bloated and congested. Highs are recessed/muted and the midrange/vocals are very forward. The Sleek custom has a very well defined treble, excellent midrange and good bass. In direct comparison, the Sleek's bass might seem lacking but I find it very natural sounding. The Sleek is more musical overall to my ears. Soundstage on the FreQ might be a bit more left/right, but there is much better clarity and separation on the Sleek. Overall, I find the Sleek does just about everything better.
I believe the driver is the same as the SA6. When ordering the custom, you need to specify what tuning options you would like and it is tailored to your specifications, similar to the SA6. I am not sure however, so you may want to confirm this with Sleek. To me, the custom is the SA6 in a custom shell, the two sound roughly the same. You'd really have to strain to hear the difference. The custom may be a bit more refined, but it's very small. Price is $300.
