B&W drivers

[fauzigarib]

Hey all,

This is probably a stupid question, but I gotta ask.

A Focal JM Lab dealer told me a couple days ago (in his attempt to sell me a Utopia in place of the 802D) that JM Labs make some of the drivers for B&W.

True?

I'm sure not for the 800 series, but any other speakers?

Just wondering.

I'm pretty sure that B&W makes all their own drivers.

JM Labs does, however, make drivers for Wilson Audio.

No . B&W is in house only

Not a stupid question at all. But here's one for your salesman.

Does he sell cars too? :lol:

Focal JMLab, now called Focal (again), is the French adversary to England's B&W, if ever there was one. B&W definitely does not source any components from its fierce competitor. In addition, Focal is second only to B&W in the European countries for market penetration.

You mean adversary, don't you?

LOL, indeed! Thanks for the catch. Corrections made.

You say advisary, I say adversary, let's call the whole thing off!




Just kidding... But this kind of gives you the idea of the sort of stuff I have to deal with in Pakistan. You know what they say, "Anything that doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!"

Well, I'm still alive, and (hopefully) a better person because of it. The amount of BS, back stabbing, lying, cheating, stealing that I have to face on a day to day basis is sickening... and this is just buying audio!

Enough venting for now!

Fauzi,
You are better of getting a job at B&W Labs In the U.K.,and all this BS will go away Pronto my friend!!!
B&W does all In house work on their speakers and equipment. No outside drivers in these babies. All 100% pure wholesome pure British B&W fed parts here!! The real Mcoy!!!
Why don't you open your own B&W dealership in Pakistan and you'll be far away from all the back stabbing, lying, cheating etc...!! Then you could give yourself a great discount?!!!! for those 802D you are desperate for.
Good Luck Fauzi on your long quest for Audio Nirvana!!!!
Cheers!!!!!!!
