Very happy with Falcon in the UK but they don't carry certain parts in stock (brand name air core inductors for one)Would be good to know which euro suppliers are quick and reliable.
Current issues are with a certain dutch supplier, over one month now and order tracking says 3 of 4 parts are 'available soon' but this back ordering was not made clear to me at the time.
I'm thinking to try some of the german suppliers, possibly Intertechnik or one of the french ones

Every supplier has minimal stocks now. A year ago I ordered two Dayton woofers from Intertechnik, they were supposed to be in stoc. Actually it took almost 5 months and all the time webshop showed "Jetz lieferbar". Least problems had with Europeaudio. I have used Lautsprechershop and Audiophonics too.
Yeah, live and learn I guess. Whats annoying is that by the time you receive the 2 month late goods, you've 'moved on' to a new project and have lost interest in the one you were half way through making.
From now on I'll make sure to check the parts are in stock and can be sent in less than a week. Falcon Acoustics are easily the best service thus far.

Problem with Europe-Audio is that it is impossible to reach them, so if you feel you wait too long you can't cancel the order. In my case they even removed the item I was waiting for from the site so I have no hopes of ever receiving the order or getting it canceled.
Hopefully I'll get my money back though as I've reported them for fraud and started a visa chargeback request.
In the end I'd suggest you restrict to the ones that are contactable, if they are then if you have to wait a bit longer you at least have the option to cancel without much of a fuss.

Beware of europe-audio.com
Beware of europe-audio.com as they become online fraud. E-mails are not working anymore and nobody is answering the phone. They never send me ordered and paid items.

see this thread. They also tried to skank me and it was only after I raised a dispute through my bank that the order suddenly arrived
Spectrum Audio are supposed to be good so will use them - anyone ordered from Audiophonics.fr on a regular basis?

I never ordered with europeaudio, so no idea. I did order few times here:
RumoH - RumoH - Caps, coils and speakers
very helpfull and quick, products arriving within 2 days after payment, I ordered different products 4 or 5 times here. sends notifications and confirmation emails and answered questions I had which included advise like: maybe for that purpose you should look at this XX product too. Maybe not everybody likes that, but I appreciate that very much.

You could try
Strassacker: Loudspeaker - Cabinets - DIY- Components
I am ordering from them since many years. Very reliable, helpful and fast.

My wote goes to RumoH, fast and excelent service. One time when my ordered woofer was on back order at his supplier he bought them of a competitor and had them send me the woofers directly, that's customer service.
Small parts can he send as ordinary mail, faster and cheaper than package.

stay away from Euope Audio!!!
Stay away from Euope Audio!!! They seems to exist only to robber.
They do not reply to email and to the phone. Items do not arrive anymore
The only thing you get is a big nerve !!
All in all I think that falconacoustics.co.uk is one of best in Europe. They're nice people, serious and fast on delivery.

-Falcon Acoustics are excellent (nor are their own air-core inductors to be sniffed at -they're extremely good, though I could wish thicker gauge windings were available).
-Spectrumaudio -limited range, mostly specialising in wideband drive units, but Wolfgang who owns it is another of the good guys. Site is in German, but easy enough to follow, and Wolfgang's English is good.
-Hi-Fi Collective -an excellent supplier with a decent range, rapid delivery, & very professional.
-Strassacker are good and run things professionally.
-Intertechnik = same
-Wilmslow Audio -one to avoid. My last experience featured the old, old story of them listing components they didn't actually have in stock, taking my money, then messing about for months with the tried & tested 'it'll be coming in our next delivery' line, though only when I had to make the 'phone calls to find out what was going on. And I'm far from alone. Finally obtained refund. No apology, nor did they seem to think they had anything to apologise for.
