Geddes 18" Waveguides

[chrismercurio]

Handcrafted by the Earl Geddes himself.....

Projected retail is $600 each with 50% down. I will do my best to manage any and all interest in the product. A minimum order of 10 is required to get this started.

If you have waveguide inclined friends elsewhere on the web like @ Lansing Heritage....pass it along,

Is this just for the waveguide? What about a complete kit, as Dr. Gedlee stated that he can order woofers cheaper than we can?

 

[chrismercurio]

This is just waveguides to gauge interest on that. The kits still are what they are. I don't think he will be offering a kit with an 18" waveguide.

$600 for a plastic cone?? No driver? Gee, let me think about that...no thanks.

I don't think the price is out of line, but I'd prefer to wait for feedback (and images) from some of the other kits that are going out right now. Once everything is working smoothly, this should be the part of Geddes 'Bestest' kit, the ultimate DIY Summa.

I agree that the price is not out of line.

In general, without considering TAD and GOTO/ALE, the spendy part of a HE system is fabricating or purchasing the horn.

Same price as a BD horn

879 euro per pair....unfinished = $1366 USD

somehow the math just doesn't add up for US customers.

I would be in for a pair of the 18" waveguides, but what I would prefer is a complete kit with a 15" driver, comp driver and properly designed crossover by Dr. Geddes.

I believe that the "waveguide" includes the entire front baffle- am I right? It is also clear that Earl will include a schematic for the crossover.
So all that is required is simple crossover assembly and building a box.

Since he has a line on good drivers at good prices it wouldn't hurt to have the drivers as options.. Neo magnets on the woofer more than pay for themselves in lower shipping weight I'll bet...
