Sure, forget the sales pitch, but some of similar might be good for fairly wide range MF. However, based on the sound sample, it's hard to say much about this one, apart from what looks like an extra load of multiple whizzers at/near the voice coil/former.

Paul, is there a higher distortion way to create HF than with whizzer cones? Sure, it is possible to take a HF deficient construction and add a lightweight resonant structure that "flaps" in the wind. Maybe a type of bass reflex activity for HF?
In Germany we do not say "full range", rather "wide band" (Breitbänder). This better describes what we get. I recently heard some "wide band" 8" Fostex in an Oris 150Hz front loaded horn. Even simple baroque music with only a voice and lute had this sound of "tearing paper" attached to just about everything. It became a weapon of mass destruction when the shop owner wanted to prove how efficient the system was. I told him that rape is punishable by law. He did not understand.
