in need of Dynaudio 17W75 XL's...

[vanceco]

does anyone have any suggestions as to where a pair of these wonderful little woofers might be procurred?
(damn you dynaudio!! for abandoning the DIY market...)

or lacking that, a suitable equivilent worthy of consideration...

You may want to check out some of Morel's drivers... apparently the Morel MW142 is very similar to the 15W75, there may be another that is simmilar to the 17W75

check out this link http://ldsg.snippets.org/vendors/morel.php3

They say that morel licence some of their technology from Dynaudio, and that both licence from scanspeak........

may be worth a look.

Some Dynaudio drivers are still available in Holland. E.g. http://www.speakerland.nl/dynaudio-u.htm

Don't know if they will ship to the US, though.

I don't like Morel drivers very much. They seem to have too big tolerances for my taste - and for their price of course.

after submitting my post, i checked my phone messages, and found a reply from the person at Dynaudio, in response to my query, and the speaker I need can still be obtained thru them, but it will have to be pre-paid, and ordered to come from denmark.
I live about 20 minutes away from their North American HQ, so there should be minimal hassels involved.

I have used the 17W75XL and found them a little ho-hum. I think there are much better drivers to be had from Scan-speak (18W Revelator) and Seas Excel, just to name a couple. YMMV.
