Hi ,
I am one of the members in DIYAUDIO and found that you are looking for some good drivers, We are primarily focused on to manufacture audiophile grade loudspeakers for the accurate REPRODUCTION OF SOUND.
SOME MORE INFORMATION OF OUR COMPANY.....
Basically our core strength of the company lies in architectural acoustics and high end quality loudspeakers, the ground work for entering the field started in 1986 with study and experimental work of underwater sound propagation and processing of sound waves using digital signal processing and associated analog electronics.
MORE ABOUT OUR DRIVERS............
Mechanical Assembly: All parts of the mechanical assembly are manufactured with strict quality control & precision using best grade of magnet available. The drivers of any type are made with high tolerance and match closely from piece to piece and lot to lot.
Voice Coils: All the voice coils are made using the high temperature former and wires. The coils are baked and have high degree of circularity to minimize distortion. The coils have the identical properties for any type of speaker. Our coils are made with best quality adhesives and are improved through our R&D as and when better coil materials become available.
Acoustic Assembly: the alignment of cone spider & voice coils is done with properly developed tools to have a perfect movement of these parts. The voice coil is set accurately to avoid distortion due to unequal movements. The distortion in our drivers is extremely low due to accurate assembly and high precision components.
Thermal Characteristics: due to the precision manufacturing and quality of materials used in our drivers, The thermal ratings withstand far above the specifications listed. The life of the drivers is long and audio power compression due to thermal rise is low.
We are thankful to our customers for their support to help us re-invest in to research & development and generate core strength in the area of audio acoustics with in the country.
We manufacture the following :
3 inch, 5.25 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, 12inch & 15 inch in R&D.
available in paper, sandwich cones with Rubber, foam & cloth surround.
let me know further how can we help you with our drivers.
Thanks

Hi ashok!!
Thanks for your keen interest on our product,
Our drivers are designed on Theile-small parameters,All the components of our loudspeakers are designed and developed within the company to ensure quality and reliability of our products.
about 15" we are still in the R&d stage.
yes we can give you the T/S prameters if you can specify the type of drivers you are looking at.
Thanks
Arasu

Brands in India.......
Hi Blue_max,
I think you will be loosing money if you buy and bring in speakers from abroad. You name them and they are available legally in India.
Mission, Mordaunt Short, Wharfedale, B&W ( all models !), Energy , Dynaudio, Klipsch etc etc.
All the way from mini monitors to large floor standers. Pricing for many models is just the same as in the UK. Some are a bit more.
But if you paid excess baggage for a floor stander it would end up being more costly than buying in India.
Get someone to check out the pricing of the model you are interested in, in the city you want to buy it from.
My friend just bought a Mordaunt Short MS912 for Rs16,000/- from Chennai. It is a book shelf speaker and sounds quite nice.
I think floor standers are upwards of Rs25,000/- .
US pricing however is less I think.
Cheers,
Ashok.

Re: Brands in India.......
Indian prices will compare reasonably well with UK prices (which are quite high) or S'pore prices. Usually, I find Indian prices about 25% higher than what is quoted on Sim Lim Square of S'pore.
It seems others too are saying the same thing. I was talking to the owner of an audio system retailing outfit in Bandra the other day. Apparently there are practically two prices worldwide for both finished audio system components and DIY parts. One applies to the US and the other to the rest of the world. The US price is usually lower (sometimes 50% lower) because the local market is huge, so the shipping costs per piece drop sharply, and the typical order size also is very large, leading to large discounts from manufacturers. A single US distributor with a single ship-to address will place an order a hundred times larger than what a Singaporean distributor will order.ashok said:

These aughtta be nice! The woods available inexpensively in India are dream-like exotics out here. I purchase many household products from a local Sikh grocer and the craftsmanship the Indians are capable of is incredible!

Thanks Ashok, I can now get off the hook by quoting your reply
To add to what 'tcp/ip' said; import duties and taxation varies from one country to the other.
In the UK, import duty is 6-8% on electronic goods plus a 17.5% VAT on top. Dealers get 30-40% mark up on black boxes. In US taxation is one of the lowest in the world. Even British hi-fi is cheaper in the US.
I don't know what the taxation is in India now but I understand that it has come down significantly since eary 1990s.
I remember a time when import duty was 300%

Hi all,
I had been following the posts about Indian Drivers for sometime and decided to check out Bali Acoustic last week. Arasu seems to be a very helpful person and is open to suggestion. His Line has three models. The MTM using his 8" drivers and Vifa tweeter sounded the best with a firm bass. The mid could be a bit more prominent perhaps.
The other two models still need more tweaking ...
His drivers seem to have a good finish (though the basket and magnet could be made more rugged) and he agreed to give some raw drivers so that i could verify the parameters.
Would be nice to have some drivers with "steady" specs available in india.
cheers

Indian Drivers of a different kind.
Indian drivers the 'auto riksha'' and the 'taxi' types do not have any restraining force, high Q and unlimited xmax. You are assured a near death experience for every ride. The steering wheel is for ornamental reason and very rarely connected to front wheels. Brakes are to rest your aching legs, and horns to prove your manliness. If you have succeeded in scaring the stray dogs and innocent pedestrian, then you are a good driver.
The reason they are called 'auto rikshaw' is because most of the time they are on auto pilot mode.
Pray and let the almighty drive you to your destination.
Cheers.

What frightens me are those crazy auto-riksha drivers

These autos (short form) are motorised( driven by 2 stroke engines, usually using adulterated fuel) three wheelers, hugely noise and smoke polluting and having a high centre of gravity, mostly driven by rash drivers, and prone to high speed, which makes for a lethal mixture. Having recently visited Phuket, Thailand, I saw the Thai equivalent, know as a tuk-tuk, which are modified Jap minicars, with four wheels, I thought this was a better, safer solution.
