Maybe not on the same level as the perfect components (in build quality I can't comment on SQ), but definitely on a par with JLs stuff. I would compare them to my MB Quart 218.03 component set i'm currently using.

I was unaware that they made car type drivers though and wonder about the suitability of non car drivers in a car interior. Vibration, heat, etc may cause a very short life for drivers not designed for that environment.
