I recommend drivers from Cabasse(impressive), Dynaudio, Focal, and Morel. I think, depending on the situation, these are all excellent. I have more limited experience with ScanSpeak, but many rave over them.
Actually, the Accuton drivers have always been Thiel & Partner. You were 100% correct Sedond. I have the literature, circa 1996 or so. They made tweeters down to drivers capable of 40 or 60 Hz(now I cannot exactly remember - I looked through it last night...). If you are interested in it, let me know, I can pass it along to you. I know you were contemplating these drivers in your new speakers. These are the data sheets for these drivers, a lot of information is contained therein.
Sedond, Morels are clones of many Dynaudio drivers. Not ScanSpeak. From the HUGE voice coil diameters on down. There are sometimes differences in the baskets, etc. They have some type of agreement with Dynaudio to produce the designs. A great buy. Dynaudio design, at much more attractive prices. Didn't know that Thiel & Partner was another name for Accuton. The old name for Accuton was Ceratec, but they got into a lawsuit over it...
