WANTED- set of W3-871S

Tomcat14 · 8th August 2009, 03:58 PM

I know these are discontinued but I need a set of these if any are available.

Andersonix · 9th August 2009, 06:17 PM

Why not use the currently available (from Parts Express) W3-881SJ? Is there an appreciable difference?

planet10 · 9th August 2009, 07:17 PM

I have an extra set... they are fully EnABLed thou, so i'm not going to part with them real cheap.

Thanks for the reply. Yes there is a difference. First off the aesthetics are far different. There performance is also different. I have a set and have compared them both. My personal preference is the W3-871S. I will probably end up going with the W3-593SF. Then making custom face plate to hide the silver frame.

Right, I meant the current W3-593SF. This is pretty much the same as the W3-871S, isn't it?

Their schematic show they are identical. The basket frame is the only difference. I just didn't want to have to make custom face plates. I'm making a 5.1 system for my computer. I have three of the W3-871SC and wanted them to all be the same for imaging quality.

I got a pair barely used. $40 shipped. Email me if you would like pictures. There is a small spot of rust on one of the frames, I don't know where is came from but most likely when they were in my garage.

Thanks for the offer. I am very interested in them and would like to see photos. However, I'm new here and they still have me under moderation. I'll see what I can do about setting up a temp email so you can send them.

Regards,

Tim
