Hi
I offer for sale a pair Akai 3" full range driver .
These originally made in Japan 16 ohms , it came out a top of the line Akai tube reel to reel tape deck .Please do not ask for the type it is more than three years I do not remember .
Both are excellent working condition .Alnico magnet , it say 5W power but I tested with a gain clone amp as loud I could with out enclosure and still sounded with out distortion .
I kept these drivers for myself more tha three years so now I decided to sell them , no time for new project .
One more time I com pared with the 5" Visaton high -end driver and sounded as nice or nicer .
Not accidentally kept them for more three years .These are really nice drivers .
The price $30US for the pair .
If you are interested please contact mathelaszlo2@yahoo.ca

HI
Yes you right , ad both driver almost like new condition .
They sound incredible to the size . And loud to . I compared with expensive Visaton and they sounded much nicer .Only I sell them because I do not have time to make a enclosure .
May be it sold , I just wait to get confirmed .

Greetings
 
HI
It is not sold yet.
Someone offered me a pair Krell KSA-50 clone PC boards which you can find on the Ebay . Red ones .
I asked two extra J511 regulator because my shipping would cost me a bit more.
If he say yes the drivers are sold if not may be I'll think about if I sell them .
It hurt me to sell them so nice sounding drivers .And I'm sure these are Fostex even they labeled Akai .
Maybe better to keep them if he does not take my offer .
I do not want to step back from my offer !

Greetings
 
HI
I just listen to them again , I have a small enclosure which design for a tweeter about 1.5L the size .
The sound so nice I will have to think about again
If I keep them or I let them go .
If the worth that much how planet advised may be better to put them on the Ebay or just keep them and when have more time build some enclosure for them .

Greetings
 
HI
The drivers look like these http://www.t-linespeakers.org/drivers/tunnelreflex/index.html
But these 16Ohms and marked as 5W . A bit has smaller magnet but 100% the same company made these . Even the dome has the same little dust cover in the middle .
I just tested with a Nakamichi TA-3A receiver more than half of the volume in face to that small enclosure with out any distortion .
Great drivers .
May be if I found the right enclosure for them I'll keep them .
I'm seriously thinking now about .
All I can say great drivers !!
Greetings
