Yes, could you elaborate more? Links? Are you referring to the Av2 perhaps?
When I bought my first system in late 2005 I talked with Ben Milne, the owner, about their collaborations with CDT audio at the time. He was very open and explained what each company brought to the table. I have also talked personally with many of their staff and eventually plan to talk in person at one of the meets they host at their facility in Iowa.
They also recently explained the production of their HT floorstanding line and where which components come from. Once again they were very open and explained for instance, that they were going to use their new 'in house' painting on my subwoofers and that they added extra bracing, etc.
EDIT: found something:

Guess it was pre-production sketches and obviously JL lost b/c I have 2 13Av2's in my HT and they're still on sale...
If you don't take my word on their reputation, I feel their products stand for themselves. My HT system blows my Klipsch references out of the water and my 13Ov2 subwoofer (~$150) destroyed the Alpine Type R's I used to have.
For $500 you can get an 13" Av2 subwoofer AND a 1200 Mono D Nine.1 amp. A 13" W7 on JL's site is $1200 apparently (although it's a lot cheaper online without warranty, blah blah).
