Speaker manufacturers or box manufacturers with off the shelf drivers?
Again, simply asking a question.  With some of the replies it would seem that dynamic drivers in a box is what people think of for speakers.  Planer, Electrostats, the Heil driver and others seem, at least to my memory, to exist.

Is there a physical and ritual connection with the analog LP?
