I emailed them and i got this back from what looks be the owner of the company.

Many thanks for your inquiry.

The BT8 is an unbeatable driver against all competition due to its
unique push-pull motor. It plays louder than most 12inchers.
I am sorry to say that for now we are not producing it. For some reason
it was almost impossible to get dealers interested in a new line even if
it was better.
So for us we are now more focused on home and pro audio.

What you all think?  I asked for the T/S specs and cost if it was produced.

I need quality equipment, feel free to donate.

OOOOOH, Shiny! I'm all wet - NOT! Looks like a cheap Korean thing, with an innertube surround. "Unique push-pull motor"? Please. The JBL GTi series has been using push-pull geometries for years. "It plays louder than most 12inchers" - Whoop-dee-doo! Who cares. What about extension? How deep will it go? Loud is NOT a selling point for me. I want accuracy. If they are sticking with pro and home audio, and this is supposed to be the SHI-ITE driver, why are they abandoning it? If it was so good, they would move it to their other lines.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Thanks for the feedback.

Sometime in the future we may make these but right now my Music
Instrument Company (Phil Jones Bass) has done so well, we are putting
most effort into that.
I do have the parameters on this diver on file somewhere but it will
take a while to track them down as it is a CNU (defunct) product.
I only have one unit left which is the lab reference unit. We can't sell
this as it will be used as a benchmark in the future.
Regards
Phil Jones

Thats reply to the T/S and price.

I share haemphyst's feelings here. Even their home and pro stuff... no useful specs available, nice big pics and outrageous claims, but that's about it. Woopie... another guy decided to produce some tower speakers with multiple drivers for too much money.
Looks like a lot of different product lines for a new company. Without knowing more about the company, I wouldn't be shocked to see them disappear in a few years.

Thanks for the feedback.

Sometime in the far, distant future we may make these but right now my Music
Instrument Company (Phil Joink Bass) has been the only cog on the gear that has shown
any profit at all, so we are crossing our fingers that someone will buy something again.
I do (NOT!) have the parameters on this driver on file (file 13) somewhere (in the landfill)
but it will take a while (not in your lifetime) to track them down as it is a CNU (a group
of letters that sound official
) product.
I only have one unit left which is in the lab holding the door open in case a customer
comes into the office with a gun, in which case we can bolt out the back door quickly.
We can't sell this (who the hell would want it?).
Regards
Phil Joink
