Is there a definitive UK version of the Goldwood tweeters used in most of the cabs? What is everyone else using?

There is, sold by CPC Farnell at a ridiculous price. Highwaymen they be. Order them from Leland, even with shipping and duty they'll come in far less expensive.

We have some of the "good" MPT-016 at stock, located in Germany. If we manage to buy bigger numbers, maybe we can tweak the price a little, just send me a PN.

That's still an outrageous price, double what's justifiable.

I agree about the price and it's known as rip-off Britain around here,everything has gone through the roof .

CPC Farnell were the cheapest for my Beta 8s for the Wedgehorns. My 2512 Deltalites came from Lean Business and were similarly priced at Blue Aran but they've gone up around £20 a piece since I purchased due I guess to the cost of neodynium magnets.

The cheap QTX piezos are very cheap at DFB

Not great quality but I weeded out the worst ones and doped the cones on the ones I used with artists varnish and was surprised at the improvement. They also do some crossover components

Keep in mind that there are a lot of cheap replacements around. There are a lot of 1016s etc for far less around than the Stageline mentioned, these are of far inferiour quality.

This guy has Lab12s for £105 each http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/colosussxb/ He pops up every now and again and it's always Lab12s for some reason.

I've bought from him before with zero issues. I'd buy more but I've already got a pair awaiting cabs.

I just make a order to the official retailer here in Spain, Deltalites 2512 are at 98€ but I ask them if they corrected their prices, but they said those are the real ones. :|

Oh btw dont use Viadress.com for package handling and shipping from U.S, its more expensive than the advertise quotes. (at 5lb)...

There's a few dotted around Birmingham so not too far at all. How much roughly are sheets there out of interest? The only other place I could find that sells decent stuff is asking £48 a sheet 8'x4' for BB/BB.

A friend of mine is a joiner so getting a card shouldn't be too much of an issue.
