FS Dayton Audio Esoteric ES140Ti-8 midbass drive units

Up for sale I have a pair of Dayton Audio ES140Ti-8 5 1/2in midbass drivers from their Esoteric series. Drivers are brand-new-in-box.

The 140 has a superb spec.; key features include a woven fibreglass cone of large central cap design. Finite element designed motor with neodymium ring-magnet, dual copper shorting rings, 3in edge-wound CCAW voice-coil with titanium former, long-throw suspension, tethered tinsel leads. Klippel optimised suspension. Heavily vented motor and extremely open cast basket design. I've attached some Dayton images as it's an impressive looking unit.

As noted above, brand-new-in box. Asking for £80 for the pair + shipping, which is about £60 less than some European sellers are asking for a single unit.

On the subject of packaging, they are in their original Dayton Audio boxes. I use sustainable FSC rated outer cardboard boxes fastened with heavy-duty packing tape. These are reinforced inside with recycled heavy-duty cardboard and packed with recycled brown / grey packing paper and high quality bubble-insulation.

As always, thanks for looking. 🙂

Still available at £80 GBP + shipping for the pair (about £60 less than what some EU retailers are asking for a single unit).

With the Covid-19 pandemic and UK lockdown I let these excellent Dayton drivers drop off the page as shipping was tricky. Now things are starting to ease a little, bumping them back up as they need an appreciative new home.
