You have to remember that any speaker brand other than Dynaudio that uses the Esotar tweeter uses the older T330D, only Dynaudio C-1's and Special 25's use the much more refined version called the Esotar 2.
Dynaudio has never been a marketing driven company, they have always focused on improving their driver technology and the Esotar tweeter is a prime example of this continual improvement.The Extrema was an incredible speaker and will go down as my all time favorite Sonus Faber but I could only imagine what it would be like with the new Esotar tweeter.
I have heard a rumor that Dynaudio is producing a very limited run of the "original Special 25" in the first year run Maser Birch. A dealer friend of mine told me it will be after summer.
I can absolutely guarantee you that Eggleston(or any company that uses Dynaudio drivers) does NOT customize the Dynaudio drivers, they are factory Dynaudio drivers in their speakers.
