..Spendor and Harbeth do not use the same RADIAL driver. RADIAL is a cone formulation unique to Harbeth developed with (I hope that I recall correctly) Surrey University and is a USP for their speakers.
Spendor describe their cone simply as "polymer". OK the RADIAL cone is a polymer type too but not the same.
