Free Loudspeakers

tjmorgan · 17th June 2009, 11:25 PM

Hello out there. I am an "aging" audio enthusiast, who has happened to build a lot of loudspeakers in my day. Unfortuna6tely, I don't have much time for those pursuits these days, but I do have a lot of raw speaker drivers that I may be willing to donate to another loudspeaker enthusiast. I have everything from 15" woofers to 1" tweeters and everthing in between. I live in the northern suburbs of Detroit, so if anyone is interested in a bunch of free speakers, and wouldn't mind stopping by to pcik them up, please send me a note! Best regards,
Tom

Hi Tom, that is a very generous and kind offer, and I am willing to bet that those drivers include some real gems.
Unfortunately I live on the other side of the world and can't drop in for a cup of tea and a chat that easily.

Whats aging? I firmly believe in the Groucho Marx school of thought here.

Good luck
Ted

I might be very interested. I'll send you an email.

Thanks,

Tom, there is a bloke with the handle of Big-Bill who needs a pair of 15s to fit a sealed box of 2.5ft<3

Need recomendations for 3-5" midrange driver?

He may appreciate an email, I'll post this link in the thread and let him know about it.\\\\

Regards
Ted

Why do persons as altruistic as Tom never live near me?

That's a very generous offer. Not sure I could so easily part with my loved ones. Uh, speakers that is...

Wow! Ted is right Tom, I could sure use some decent 15" drivers for a 2.5CF sealed box or some decent 1"or larger size tweeters. Problem is I'm in Charlotte NC. and Detroit is more in gas many away than I currently have. If you were so inclined, I'd be more than happy to send you the money in advance for shipping!

I sent you a pm as I am interested in picking up the speakers.

Thanks,

Dan

I picked up the drivers, there was definitely an interesting assortment. Some of the drivers were blown, some will require a refoam, some look like quality drivers, some look like pulls from mid 80s technics department store rack systems. Tom was a very friendly guy and obviously generous.
