    Never got to hear any either. Can't say I was very struck by those little Jordan drivers. I tried some in a project donkeys years ago.

    I've heard speakers using Jordan and Bandor drivers and they do have some attractions.

    Tried various models of Pentachords back in the day when they were looking for stockists. Also some 'egg shaped' speakers using those drivers but they really didn't do much and were very easily over-driven.

    No, two bass drivers facing each other internally.

    They came with an active crossover and you needed two amps to drive them.
