INDIANS : Group BUY

]|[ GorE · 8th March 2005, 04:20 PM

Hello fellow Indians,
This noob is asking to setup an online group buy.Someone pays using his credit card and all of us pay him the money in ADVANCE offcourse.Then he can courier the stuff to all of us.We will pay for that too.
I was thinking of getting a couple of Tangband W3 871's for my first DIY project.

So,all of you post the things you need;we will decide later.
And this group buy is serious NOT for timepass and the like.

CHEERS!!

Looking for W3 Tangbands.Any good sounding model.

what about fostex or jordans. i am very interested in 5-6 JX92. we'd have to buy them from one retailer. then have it shipped and cleared in one city.

there was a group buy attempt some time back but i guess all o our needs, budgets and locations made it too complex. besides customs will be more attracrted to 24 speakers than 4 (assuming 6 of us each ordered 4).

also 24 drivers might not even same shipping as one would have to ship locally too and few manufacturers would offer any significant discount on 24-30 pcs. for group discounts we'd have to consider 100-150 pcs of the same driver.

last group buy that i took part in was the DV12 from Audio Concepts.

I want 3 drivers.

EDIT:
WTF ?? 1 pair for 300$'s ?? I am a college student and Cash strapped.I dont even have a JOB !!

The Tangband W3's cost just 30$ a pair . There IS NO WAY i am paying anything over 50$'s.

SORRY.

well for $50 per pair TB's are about all you can get. even Fosex would run you over $60 per pair.

Have you heard any fullrange systems?

Fostex and Jordan have distinct sounds but i have not heard TB.

one option if you are using TB is to go 1.5 way like the ELF. shodl run you about $60 per pair and offer you a sound you like.

Navin,
Good to see you reply.the price i got for the tangbands are from a retailers link (on the Tangband site).
I would pay upto 4000Rs including shipping.

navin · 10th March 2005, 10:48 AM
