There are so many subjective and objective criteria on the subject of 
transducers that a more specific application is needed for meaningful 
discussion.

 KK> aren't they fairly costly?
Of course not.    
That depends on your needs, and what you compare.  In small near field 
monitors, JBL, Tannoy, and EV are priced about the same.  I like the JBL 
sound best.  In some series of compression drivers, JBL efficiency and power 
handling are higher than some of the less pricy competitors to the point that 
the JBL's, as part of a system, are less expensive overall than more units of 
cheaper brands.  Of course, there are other notable manufacturers as well, 
plus some esoteric (read "will they be servicing parts in 5 or 20 years?") 
and some low end ones not as comparable, but popular with some users.
