Class-D, you decide!

[Tony Scott]

Please note I am NOT knocking Class-D speakers or products but I came across this and wondered about their ethics? I've emailed Garry at Class-D for a comment but had no reply. Your thoughts please. :)

From Class-D:

‘Heavy duty 18" cast aluminium frame for increased rigidity

Copper voice coil capable of dissipating tremendous heat build up when driven in concert conditions

Huge copper area and breathing arrangement of the voice coil ensures superior power compression performance

Double suspension maintains pure piston action for the moving mass even when driven with the most complex programme input signals and provides additional durability against the rigours of life on the road

Designed to provide superlative high power bass and sub bass, suitable for all systems demanding the best possible low frequency response. A popular choice for horn loaded subwoofers.

Ideal for three-way direct radiating systems where the powerful bass comes into its own.’

From Precision Devices:

'Heavy duty 18" cast aluminium frame with extra wide flange for increased rigidity

5” copper voice coil capable of dissipating tremendous heat build up when driven in concert conditions 

Huge copper area and breathing arrangement of the voice coil ensures superior power compression performance

Double suspension maintains pure piston action for the moving mass even when driven with the most complex programme input signals and provides additional durability against the rigours of life on the road 

Designed to provide superlative high power bass and sub bass, suitable for all systems demanding the best possible low frequency response. A popular choice for horn loaded subwoofers when the PD.186’s full low end can deliver extremely high SPLs.

Ideal for three-way direct radiating systems where the powerful bass comes into its own.'

I would say that's not their own description of the product but what the manufactures provide i.e provided by Precision Devices.

I don't know of any other retailer that doesn't do the same?

No, you're missing the point, they are not selling a PD driver. Have you compared the two different products?..........Class-D are not merely selling a Presicion Devices product and using PD's description, that would be no problem, of course!

They are marketing a product that is, in my opinion, no where near the quality of the Precision Devices product, and using PD's description of their PD186 driver to do it.

Blatent rip-off, IMHO!! :mad:

Fair point! :)

Actually, it's not a fair point because it's not Tony who will get prosecuted.

Well I know of at least one retailer who writes pretty much 99% of the reviews you see on their website, as its me that does it! :D

and I might add, then gets copied by other DJ retailers :bang:

[Richard Veal]

Thats what i was thinking, Bit like thoes citroen & fiat & Pug vans, all exactly the same just a different badge so you would expect the description to be the same.

Same situation here perhaps?
