Hi Guys,

I'm putting a pair of 18Sound NSD1095N compression drivers along with matching XT1086 horns up for sale.

I had a friend ship me these from Italy (they're almost impossible to get here in North America). I tested them (measurements in a few different horns) and I've decided to go in another direction.

This pair is pretty much brand new, in perfect condition, and they come packaged in all the original boxes. It's an extremely high end driver which is on par with the TAD compression units. I only used these for brief testing, and they have less than 1hr of use.

They use a titanium nitride diaphragm and neodymium magnets. The SPL is around 110db in the XT1086 horns.

See the website for more technical info:

I also have a pair of Parts Express 10" waveguides with the appropriate adapters to fit these, and I'll toss them in for free. The PE waveguides measured worse, but sounded a little better than the XT1086 horns. Either way, it's yours to play with .

The drivers sell for 199 Euro each ($250 each USD)
The horns sell for $88 USD each
The PE stuff is worth about $34

I'm asking $500 for the whole lot.

Cheers,
Owen
