One pair. 15 years old. Used. And one is reconed by Kimon Belles of Focal 12 years ago.

Rims are a little beat but everything seems to work and sound fine.

95.5 dB/W/m
Nominal Imp: 8ohms
DC resistance 6ohms

$399 plus shipping. Paypal only. Thanks

Jeepers that's a good price, and with that low Fs they'd make good large-cabinet sealed woofers (f3 of 50 or so). Tiny little Xmax but that's the price you pay.

Where are you located (shipping?), and is there anything you might be interested in, for barter? I can just see the wife's face if I told her I dropped $250 (shipping) on more
15"s "What, the JBLs, Eminence, and BD are all broken?"

I'm very strongly considering these.. I don't suppose you have any data on them? Even just Re measurements from a DMM would be a plus, I'm concerned about matching. Also a concern is what appears to be a possible suspension sag. Anything you can add would be a big help- I'm 80% in just need the extra 20% of certainty.

The only data I have is in the sheet above.

If there is any suspension sag they are both exactly equal.
I doubt there is any sag at all.

Thanks

If Badman doesn't want them I'll take them. It's not that I need a pair of 15" subs. I remember drooling over these when they first came out, but I couldn't afford them.

It's like the middle-aged buy buying the classic corvette he always wanted as a teenager but couldn't afford.

Wrong woofers

Hi MakingMoney,

The woofers you shipped arrived in good condition. However, they are the Focal Audiom 15VXII, not the 15AX as you specified. The writing on the back is very faint and hard to read. You can also see a photo of the 15AX and the 15VX here: Focal-Lautsprecher HighEnd aus Frankreich
I'm not complaining. I think the VX is preferable to the AX. It has a "polyglass" (fiberglass?) cone, a little more X-max, and the recommended box volume is smaller for the same tuning. Focal never published the 15VXII, so I don't know how it is different from the 15VX.

They are the 15AX. The 15AX has a "Straight profile coated paper cone, very compliant coated fabric surround" (upper left on the spec sheet on the first post) It's a pleated linen surround, not a rubber or foam surround as the 15 VX has.

The link you sent shows the 15AX with a black cone. I've never seen that version before, maybe it was available in Europe? It does show the 15AX with a pleated linen surround as the ones I sent you have.

I think both the AX and VX shared the same magnetic and cast frame structure to reduce costs. IIRC the differences were the linen surround and the cone material. I could be wrong about that. But it could explain the faint Focal Audiom 15VXII marking. I don't know.

I'm glad they arrived in good condition. Hope they work well for you.
