Those are beautifull, but out of my price range....

The shipping cost just kills it

 

[Igor V. Kutuzov]

Good luck with the venture, but you must correct the typo on your site that consistently refers to 'twitters'!

New 8" speaker

Wish I could help you, and myself, out but I am not well off either and am not knowledgeable enough that any comment I made would impress anybody else. Having said this, given how difficult and expensive, it is to source good quality speakers in Australia and New Zealand would it be possible for one of our traders here to look into these?

Yeah I know, its easy to spend other peoples money. Something needs to be done though to improve the situation for hobbyists in these two countries.

I first became interested in building my own in New Zealand in the early seventies but virtually nothing was available. I looked with envy across the Tasman where at least units that appeared to be reasonable were available at good prices. Most of the companies that sold them have now become electrical supermarkets and though I have moved to Australia I find the situation is the same here as it used to be, and still is as far as I know, in New Zealand.

Guys, what do you think about cobalt magnet in magnetic system?
I think it will be better . What can u say?

 

[Variac]

If cobalt means Alnico (aluminum, nickel, Cobalt) then yes, many people that buy this type of speaker DO prefer that type of magnet. If you didn't have to raise your prices much that would help you because that type of magnet is quite expensive here..

 

[Igor V. Kutuzov]

yes, i mean "Alnico 5" , price can rise to $215 or 160euro , do you think it's expensive?

 

[tinitus]

do you think it's expensive?

Not at all

But make it underhung and you have done like the old masters and maybe press-fitted poleplates

 

[Variac]

but of course it doesn't solve the problems (cost) of shipping and people being nervous about sending a lot of money overseas..

Well, I would like to buy driver from US, so maybe ehh....

 

[tinitus]

[Igor V. Kutuzov]

[tinitus]

Your the expert...Im just fooling around

 

[Igor V. Kutuzov]

I'm just trying my best

 

[Igor V. Kutuzov]

Guys, what do you think about field coil ? it must be better than alnico ?

 

[freddi]

seems like folks would want field coil motor - especially if price can be kept reasonable, and the range of available qts is noted along with diy power supply build detail and typical battery life (and charger diagram) - - - does alnico draw more customers?

 

[Igor V. Kutuzov]

I don't know, alnico version still not finished I heard that field coil sounds better than alnico, is it truth?

 

[freddi]

with your skills I think it would be worth trying a prototype for find out in A-B testing
