Lase 4599 2 inch 16 ohm compression driver - anyone familiar with these and/or any experience?

[Dr Morbius]

Hi, I see on a few places there’s a new to me 2 inch compression driver, the 16 ohm Lase 4599 driver. The specs seem pretty similar to the B&C DCM50 and the BMS 4592. Anyone have any experience with the Lase 4599? It seems it’s sold through ZXPC speaker parts company. For $299 a piece it’s practically half the price of the others. Any help with information is greatly appreciated.

Believe that to be a clone of this:

2” Dual Diaphragm Driver - BMS Speakers

Dual 3.5” voice coils / annular diaphragms Additional shorting rings for lower distortion Perfect acoustical coupling Extreme high efficiency Exceptionally high power handling of 400 W (AES) Provides 6 dB more sound pressure than a comparable single voice coil driver Ultra low distortion...

IME, Lase stuff is OK, but not usually to the same manufacturing tolerance stricture as whatever they cloned. I wouldn't expect as smooth of a response, as the original BMS driver, for example.

Regards,
