Alon/Nola drivers

Does Alon/Nola use custom drivers or are they off the shelf? I am intereested in the Viper Signature/Exotic Signature or the Circes.

Thanks.

The HF drivers are from Norway, but would guess they are built to Carl's specs and not off the shelf. All use alnico magnets. Definitely not something you are going to get from Parts Express.

One thing to consider is replacement prices, I recently spoke with Carl and there have been steep price increases: Alnico tweeters $1600 pr., 10" Alnico woofers $1600 pr., Alnico mids are still $800 pr. There are no off the shelf replacements.

I have been considering the purchase of a used speaker and with the recent uncertainties regarding the split between Nola and Alon, I wanted to check this out first.
