Expolinear ARL-81/82 alnico ribbon tweeter

limono · 2nd December 2007, 07:44 PM

I have a pair of wonderful German ribbon tweeters -Expolinear ARL 81 (round faceplate).The specs are similar to current NDRL 81/82 type . 89-90 db , 2.8-40kHz 8 Ohm but with huge alnico 5 magnet . Used but in good condition and sounds terrific (I tried with early DIY Pass amp). Ribbon element is still available from manufacturer .Current price for NDRL(neodymium) version is 155 Euro ($230USD) a piece .I ask Euro 160 or $250 a pair.Regards, L

PS They are heavy huge suckers so shipping may cost a little .

PS 2 I also have slightly used VG condition pair of Audax HM170 Z18 aerogel mid-woofers for $150 pair. (Thats what I paid but they are not available anymore since Audax doesn't supply drivers for DIY market anymore so the price reflects that fact

The speakers for sale were part of German "klang und Ton ' ESPRIT" speaker project which never took off ( as usual ) . I think I can find elements of Crossover if anybody is interested in that design. I'm into HF (high efficiency + tubes) and vintage sort of stuff now and don't see myself getting back to regular "High-end" hence the sale .Regards, L
