Australian Options - Suppliers / Drivers etc

[Keryn O'Shea]

Thank you for your responses gentlemen, it's hard to pass up anything Eminence over here, l may give these a miss though.

Depending on the price you might want to get them. The availability of recone kits is probably no worse than for any other driver.

[Keryn O'Shea]

Ok, can you remember their price?

[Bill Fitzmaurice]

They retailed for $180 USD.

Wow, I had to go all the way back to the 2016 price list to find that one. Can't believe it's been that long!

In researching for an unrelated subject, I came across this forwarding service that looks like it could be helpful getting stuff into Australia, possibly sidestepping some of the usual fees and taxes. Didn't read too deeply into it, but thought of you guys when I saw it. May or may not be a useful service.

Nice! They might be helpful for a bulk load of 1016s & GT302s

Managed to win the auction and land the pair of 3010MBs for $360au plus $25au shipping.. glad you suggested to grab them Bill.

Wow! Stuff is really expensive for you guys over there....

A LAB15 is $639au, and one 1016 ends up costing around $8au ea , it's always been the case Bruce but it's ok
I thought the 3010MB win was good value, it's what you'd have paid in the US.. and our dollar is 0.65US atm.
l've found a bolt on 60w compression driver from Ande I'll try and report back on, specs are vague, but other drivers from the same brand have been approved

Quickly setup running an SLA, the OTop8 horn, bi-amped & crossed over at 2k with zero EQ, the D340s sound great.. smooth & loud straight up

Minimal EQ would have these CDs sounding sweet, they'll load into J110Lites & I'll give them a proper run.
