ic, cuz i saw it on zaphaudio website, and said that the dayton reference tweeter is made by USHER audio, so i am thinking dayton audio is not an manufacturer, but more like a design house

You are correct. Dayton is Parts Express' line. They spec the design parameters of the drivers, but they are made by OEM suppliers. Many of the woofers are made by Eminence, however, I do not think the RS series is, but I don't know who makes them.

That kind of pains. I've searched 'Dayton Loudspeaker' on the web and nothing but Parts Express and some other vendors come up. No manufacturer.

Who cares? Nearly all speaker "companies" have their speaker drivers made by someone else. Otherwise, every speaker on the market would be outrageously expensive...

The Reference Series are custom spec'd to whoever Darren found that could make the best driver for the target price. That's it. There's no magic voodoo going on there. There should be no pain in this.

Sheesh.
