Remarks

Teifton and Hochtonchassis are no longer available in the original, they are however produced again due to the high demand. The woofer drivers are made in absolutely identical construction with the same values, the only difference are the now used rubber surrounds instead of the foam surrounds. The tweeters are available completely 1:1 reproduced. They are developed and distributed by T&A.
