Some of our old beloved friends eg. HDS, NE are alive and well, some newly released are shown eg. NSM, HVS series, but not those yet to go into mass production eg. FPP-S and FPP-C series.
It's no wonder they dropped low volume DIY market. Why waste your time with small production runs when other customers are ordering in the 100's and 1000's.
Several more drivers are now in stock that PE didn't get into inventory for the Labor Day weekend sale 😔 Corundum 1" tweeter
NE180W-8
830669 12" subwoofer
Etc.
We can still get Peerless in Oz, from Wagner and The Loudspeaker Kit.
We seem to get new stuff years after everyone else, but then the stock runs out much later. Prices for peerless/Vifa have risen slightly to the point where the SDS line and full range drivers are on a par with SB Acoustics budget line, but nice, pfc drivers.

I spoke to my distributor, and it seems to me that Tymphany are doing Just In Time manufacturing...
I can get any off the shelf driver as long I am willing to wait, and order eg. 100.. like that group buy successfully completed at diyAudio.com:

PS.
Someone left the gate open... and as you'll see, Tymphany is the goto OEM for manufacturers,
from A to Z...

Tymphany made quite a few Bose utilized drivers. That one you listed is in the 812 F1.
