They definitely look different! Is that a passive radiator, or a woofer?

KEF woofers. I've seen radiators that look the same, although I don't see how passive radiators would work in this application.

I figured woofers, since that 5" wouldn't really need a radiator... but, I figured I'd verify with a Fried expert. It could have a hidden woofer somewhere that I don't see.

Far from an expert, but here's some info.

Kef 139. Not passive. I like "real" IMFs.

Fried speakers are pretty awesome from what I've heard. I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at one if it came my way. I have IMF's and yes, I do love them, but that doesn't make them superior just because they're "real" IMF's. Fried really had nothing to do with that brand at all, just the name.
