The CCAW drivers have nothing to do with it - the original gr07 versions have CCAW drivers, the other vsonics like gr06 an gr04 also have CCAW drivers. Bio-cellulose is the diaphragm material - not the driver itself. And that's when the confusion comes coz there's no way to know whether the diaphragm on the classics is bio-cellulose unless Vsonic confirms it officially. Like back in the day with the Gr04 flagship , which was vsonic's second flagship after gr07. People never got that question answered - if the gr04 flagship is 100 bucks and a flagship model is the diaphragm also bio-cellulose or not? Honestly, because the gr04 flagship was so discounted after its discontinuing I never thought much about that and I guess if the Gr07 Classics sound good and sell for 50 bucks in a year or two people will give it a rest but because the current price is so close to the Gr07's discounted price on LMUE (or even about almost the same from bigbargainonline) people start worrying too much and don't want to buy then. If LMUE never had that sale or if they just had it as initially planned for 2 weeks last summer instead of being tricked by vsonic's announcements to continue it for close to 8 months, now people would be deciding between a 100 bucks for the Classics or 180 for the older versions and they wouldn't be so set on having the exact same iem with the exact same materials used and the exact same sound for almost half the price.
Well concluding what you've said about the CCAW drivers, that doesn't make Lendmeurears wrong in anyway what they have stated, which was my original thoughts.
I dunno guys, I trust Lendmeurears judgment, especially after what Kova said about the CCAW drivers etc. I'll stick with that, on the basis I think it would be extremely damaging for a company like Lendmeurears to openly lie when they're well aware I am copy and pasting their responses in public, their reputation on Head-Fi is far more valuable than selling a few GR07 Classic units. I can understand you wanting to wait for something official though.
