Exactly what I wanted to see =)
So it seems that all the drivers are custom made for Sony.
But I have already moved on with new projects, I have tried scan speaks paper midrange but didn't like them very much.

My impression is that the AR1 could have been better, but I only heard it at AXPONA. My problem with them was the mid and highs, and some integration issues. The bass was okay, but should have been stellar. That is one of my favorite 8" woofers, and it can sound incredible, especially with 2.
Don't take my opinion as gospel, as other people loved them.

Sony and Scan-Speak have/had a close relationship. Here is an ex-Scan-Speak mentioning his involvement developing the transducers for their NA*ES range.
