They're just over £300 each for the Flexunit. You get a discount of 15% for quantities over 2. I ordered four earlier this year and it came to £1120 including Danish VAT(25% BTW), shipping and the 15% discount.

Yep, not the best value for money out there but good drivers non-the-less.

The Dynaudio drivers are going to be tough to come by now, you could get lucky though. That leaves the Scanspeak's. If your wanting to do a documented clone then always stick with the drivers used by the designer.

Keep in mind the Watt/Puppy is now up to version 8 and there have been a few changes along the way (notably different woofers & a larger bass cabinet).
My picks are:
midbass would have to be the Scanspeak 18w/8545,
tweeter Focal - check E-speakers for the TC120,

As for the woofers thats probably the hardest choice.
Hi-Vi D8.8 might be worth a look at, looks like they have made a rubber/plastic surround version.

or Peerless 830868 which are probably better value.

As for the cabinet/crossover thats another story!

You can also consider AudioTechnology 23I (cheaper than Flex). But still expensive.

The new Wilson Puppy/ Sophia use Scanspeak Alu cone's as woofer. I think it's this one with a different dustcap

Also just remembered Morel could be another option for the woofer, either Madisound or Parts Express (on special at the moment!) has them, you may even find them locally as the company is based in Israel.
The Hu9.1 is designed for ported boxes & Morel use technology similar to Dynaudio.

worth a look.
