i really like the description at the website:
as to why their speaker is better:
"We designed a proprietary 5.25" die cast aluminum frame driver/cone 
assembly to exceed the performance of the originals. The mounting 
bezel is then polished for an elegant appearance. The paper cone, 
chosen for its musical character, is custom designed & crafted using 
the finest New Zealand pulp with mica fibers added for lighter weight 
& rigidity. The cloth surround is made in Japan to exacting uniform 
thickness tolerances. The Top Plate and T-Yoke of driver are made of 
Sumitomo 1008 low carbon steel enabling the highest modeled flux 
density in the gap. The magnets are Y- 40 GRADE (MIL-SPEC) yielding a 43oz "

EACH & Every sentence makes me snicker...
   what ever happened to an old 5" utah,,,,radio speaker,.,,,

we have come a long way ....    :)        in no particular direction.....
