Yup

.
DLS drivers were designed by Morel, who licenses from Dynaudio. Dynaudio, in turn, licenses some technology from Scan-Speak along with the technology they developed. Since then DLS branched off and started producing those drivers in Asia.
To add to that, Dynaudio and Scan-Speak were both founded by Ejvind Skaaning. Then Skaaning ditched both and founded ATC (Audio Technology).
They all have similar roots. All of them have lacked development over the years with Skaaning moving on, ATC being the exception since that's where the development efforts are going. I guess you could consider ATC the new king of that hill. The pricing for their drivers are flat out ridiculous for what you get, though. You'll pay $510 EACH for a 6.5" midbass driver from ATC. And that's raw drivers.
