There are some details on the frames that are different. Curiously, the better looking frames with added trim details are not the better models.
Maybe the GT's have more money put into the frame when they should be investing it in the elements?
It wouldn't be the first time function was trumped by form. Otherwise no trapezoid PA nor 4x electric bass cabs would ever have been built. :roll:

Sorry to ask but does anyone have bought piezo under the part number SH305?

It's just that I did a quick comparaison between an array of ten #1016 and 6 of the SH305 and this last one sound way louder than the 1016.
They both look identical except for the front diffusor that is rotated 60 degres.(i can send a picture when I'm back home)
The price is also different since the SH305 is twice the price but looks way more efficient.

Where'd you pick it up? Google for SH305 pulls up tons of stuff about a bluetooth headset but nothing on tweeters.
