Hi Eric,

I am a Japanese audiophile.

My friend is a speaker manufacturer who used PARC Audio drivers.
Now he switched to his handmade drivers.
So he is selling his stock at discount price.

Airbourne is nice wooden cone driver,
I suppose audiophiles in overseas would be interested in PARC drivers too.

FWIW, those DCU-F121W look like the same speaker sold at Midwest Speaker Repair with a "phase plug" added.https://www.midwestspeakerrepair.co...-audio-mw-7050-8-5-wood-cone-shielded-woofer/

I am not sure how that driver sounds, the details of DCU-F121W:
https://www.parc-audio.com/shop/shopdetail.html?brandcode=000000000007&search=&sort=
Product overview.
Multi-layer wood cone, full-range speaker
The pleasant tone of our uniquely structured wood cone is very attractive.
Despite its compact size, the rubber edges ensure that bass is also reproduced well.

Main features.
1) Multi-layer wood cone
Reproduces the unique lustrous tone of wood cones through the use of our unique multi-layer wood cone structure.
The multi-layer structure ensures both high rigidity and high internal loss, resulting in straightforward characteristics right up to the high frequencies.
The material used is Sapelli mahogany, a hardwood species.
Mahogany is a well-known high-grade wood used for guitars and other musical instruments, but nowadays all species are restricted in trade by the Washington Convention and are difficult to obtain, so Sapelli mahogany is used as a replacement. It takes a long time to dry, but is said to be less prone to deviations after drying.

2) Full-range speakers with rubber edges
Rubber edges, which are rare in full-range speakers, are used. Despite its small diameter, it reproduces rich low frequencies.

3) Aluminium phase plug
A high-grade machined aluminium phase plug is used. It delivers a straightforward mid- and high-frequency range.

4) Low distortion magnetic circuit with short ring
The use of copper short rings reduces current distortion in the magnetic circuit.

5) Aluminium die-cast frame
The high-grade aluminium die-cast frame is used to reduce unwanted frame resonance.

6) Magnetically shielded magnetic circuit
The magnetically shielded magnetic circuit with double magnets + back cover eliminates any influence on TVs and other equipment.

7) Connex damper
The use of a high-grade CONEX damper, which takes airflow into account, reproduces low frequencies with high linearity.

8) Gold-plated terminals
Gold-plated terminals are used to prevent propagation loss with the connecting cable.

9) RoHS compliant
The product complies with the RoHS Directive environmental regulations and does not use hazardous substances such as cadmium or lead.
