I have for sale everything that you need in order to build Parts Express Magna Cum Laude speaker set. All the items were used a little but work as brand new.

I am asking for $500 plus shipping from Montreal, Canada (I am open to offers)

Parts Express DIY Project

Parts List

Dayton 4 ohm non-inductive resistor 2
100 uF non-polarized capacitor 2
Dayton 8.2 uF polypropylene capacitor 2
Dayton 6.2 uF polypropylene capacitor 2
Dayton 40 uF polypropylene capacitor 2
Dayton DESL-18G dual ended binding post pairs 2
Jantzen .50 mH 18 ga air core inductor 2
Jantzen 1.0 mH 18 ga air core inductor 2
Jantzen 3.30 mH 18 ga air core inductor 2

I will also include a speaker grill for each driver. Capacitors/Inductors are not from the parts express website but are equivalent.

If you have any questions please contact me.

I built them once, used them in my house for a little while. Decided I didn't like the cabinets that I build for them so I diassembled everything and ordered new parts to build new cabinets for them.

Unfortunately I moved in an appartment and they are really too powerful to use them now. That's why I am selling them. I could also sell them in the old cabinets if someone from the Montreal area wants them.

wish I could

FYI The Dayton SD270-88's are 10", and the Magnum Cum Laude uses Dayton SD315-88, which are 12". Did you type in the wrong woofer? I'm trying to find an excuse to build a massive, full-range speaker, but just can't find one. Otherwise I'd snap them up!:whazzat:

You are right these are the SD315-88. They are the 12". There was just an error in the listing of the partsesxpress.com website.

If you are interested just let me know. I can deliver them around the Montreal area if you are around.

I've used the Tang Band W6-789E as a midbass (essentially a drop-in for the shielded version) and was very pleased with what I was able to achieve. I took my build to the latest DIY event here in Indiana and got lots of very positive comments. The W6-789E has merit in midbass applications, not just the midrange. I'd recommend that you build the top section of the MCLs and put it in a sealed monitor-style cabinet or a floorstander (the W6-789E does need quite a bit of enclosure volume for its bass to fully develop), and then let the woofers go for sale separately. You'd probably have better luck selling just the woofers by themselves (perhaps on the PE 'Free Classified' forum) than trying to unload the entire MCL kit in one go.

Best Regards,
Rory B.
