    DynaVox and Dynaudio

    Do you think DynaVox is a "copy" of Dynaudio stuff? I noticed their drivers look similar, but are not the same. What is the deal with these French drivers?

    Anyone know?

    I got this "Factory Tour" of Dynaudio DVD with my last Stereophile....or was it the free issue of Absolute Sound....whichever.

    I'm even more impressed by that company. I will definately give the Audience 42 and 52 a hear, even if I can't afford such a product at this time.

    Anyone know what is the deal with DynaVox?

    Looks like they are knockoffs, maybe even improvements as Dynaudio seems to have been stagnant for a while:

    There are other Dynaudio copies out there...Morel's soft-dome tweeters and midrange drivers comes to mind:

    Looking at morel's site, I wouldn't say their midbasses or woofers look alike at all, as far as midrange domes and tweeters, I'm not sure.

    Uh, the hell you say? The dome tweeters are exact knock-offs. The size, the materials, the technology. Look at the way the voice coils are attached to the dome on either side.

    BTW: a/d/s did that ever since the 70's with their tweeters......so I guess everyone is copying......

    Morel has been building drivers for over 30 years. They are hardly a company that gets by thru copying others. They innovate as much as any other large scale manufacturer and as such, if they see a design that can be copied and improved upon, they will do such. How do you think Toyota got to be as big as they are?
