Hi there gentlemen,
I found this driver in the open market, looks a bit like a lowther to me but im not sure what it is.
i dont have any more specs yet than 30 watts, 94 DBM and the price is 120 Euro per pair.
does anyone recognize it?
almoast every big brand produces there drivers in guandong china, so it could be anything.
thanks in advance,
Arjen |

Hey, thanks for the reply,
I have no picture of the backside, but it was just metal, greenish coating on it and a small scew in the middle no markings of any kind on the driver at all.
will make a photo next time around.
thanks for your time,
Arjen Helder |

It's from the same Chinese company that makes the fake vifa ring radiator....
Can't find it. Bothers me! Will come back with the link. |

Looks a lot like a Fostex FE166E with a phase plug and some kind of treatment on the surround.
Edit: on second thoughts it probably isn't. it doesn't have that plastic ring around the outside of the surround. |

Hi there,
Yeah, i see the resemblace, also the power and the Fs is the same... shame on them in that factory selling speakers off in a different name haha, they said it was for a company in europe.
i think this is the one, it must be a Audio Nirvana.
They sell them for 80 Euro per pair. for a knock-off thats still a bit spendy.
Thanks for your keen eye.

I imagine that we will start seeing more of this in the future. If they are AN Super 6.5 80euro is not much less than the actual AN drivers.
Note that the color of the cone is different from the ANs. |

Haha, en dat van een groninger! ( ik kom zelf uit Assen, heb er lang opschool gezeten)
3 Cheers for roland!
Smart guy, you must be right, this is a 100% match.
But i doubt that these sell for so much money, 800 RMB per pair is simply too expensive.
ill contact the factory, its about 80 Km from my house haha
Keep you guy's up to date here.
Greetings,

Thanks for the nice words... Google is my friend :)
It seems the fullrange speaker is the only thing original made in this factory.
Seas clone:
Scan Speak clone:
Vifa clone:
Morel clone:
It would be interesting to know how "real" the fullrange speaker is. The speaker made by gui sound look to be made to look like speakers. But are they any good? I wonder...

Well, ill find out ill call them tomorrow for a meeting and il lhave a listen to there speakers.
I dont expect fostex quality, but i think the price can be lower and the design in general looks nice, i also like to looking of there smaller 3,5" speakers.
Good thing my chinese is quite good these days!
