I'm looking into getting some for a small project. Anyone want in on an order?
This is the pricing I got from them:
I suspect the better the order, the better the price. I'm looking to order in about 3 weeks, give or take. Naturally it would have to be one order to save on shipping costs as well. Stock they come with all-black anodized faceplates, but they can make available the faceplate with a clean machined aluminum 45° bevel.

This is the frequency response of a "variant" of the RT-5002 in my Legacy Audio Calibres. They are crossed over at 2.8kHz. This is in-room response, including all reflections. It is supposed to be "flat" out to 30kHz, but my Mic software doesn't pick up that high. They do sound awesome though.
Just stumbled across your post. Did you already order these? At these prices I would be interested in a few myself.
Not yet, im still working out the payment details with the vendor. There is some magnetic shield costs together with the shipping costs. Let me know what you need and I can get a quote from the vendor if you like.
I am interested in the following:
3 RT-5002
4 RT-4001
Thanks. If you would prefer that I deal directly with the vendor, just send me the contact.

Thanks for your interest. As I'm sure you can imagine, the vendor will sell us anything we want, lol. If I tell a car dealer, "sell me either the honda or the mustang", I'm pretty sure they would be thinking "well, which one do you want?" 😀

5002 (slightly diff model)

I used the 5002 in my Nephila project. It was great, dynamic, but only good down to about 3.4kHz.

Well, it all depends how they are implemented, but I'm sure you know that already. I found an .frd file for them, and yes they have to be "tamed" to get anything resembling a flat response due to their very "peaky" nature, so in effect down-tuning the sensitivity via the crossover can get them to seemingly behave differently, so it seems.
One of the things I'm wondering is how they will do in multiples. I don't expect too too much considering the wide spacing that is necessary between the elements, but who knows. I'm crossing my fingers that I can get them to give a little more down-low without too much response shaping filtering.
I did have to notch the peak in the response, but there is enough sensitivity to do so.
The boosting of the lower treble for this driver would best be done by a waveguide if you are inclined to go that route. Hawthorne Audio used a Beyma TPL-150 this way and it seemed to work for them.
I don't know if using multiples will do much to extend the low end, as the inherent FR will still reside. Due to the vertical dispersion, I doubt you'll get much comb filtering to reduce the top end in that manner either. They also don't couple like non-planar types to increase level in the lower treble.
I'd try an attach a file or 2 for you, but the interface seems to be locking up the website when I try it.

Thanks, I think I had ran into those pictures previously doing a google image search. If only a suitable off-the-shelf horn for the RT-5002's existed. We have a 3D printer at work, but I'd have to learn the programming language to set it all up. I guess this is a good a time as any, lol.
Finally! Order placed. I wish the process was a bit easier, but oh well. Crossing my fingers that my bank wire transfer finds it's way over there safely, LOL. Seems they don't have paypal or other forms of payment, since I asked but was not extended any other payment options. Ordered 4 x RT-50021's, 4 x RT-4001's, & 4 x RT-20051's. Grand total $428 USD.
Well it only took like 4 months from my initial query all the way to delivery, but Hygeia Electrical Co. came through!
