These are the HF version of their new reference woofers. Terrific build quality. These drivers have seen just enough time to take accurate TS measurements, which I will include for each driver.
I will sell either two or all four pieces. $80 each plus (actual cost) shipping.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
If either of you guys want to send me $ they will have your name on them.
You can calculate shipping from my zip - 98034 and weight - 45lbs for a pair.

Mac, did you sell these because they sound like crappola?
Just curious because I've heard good and bad comments about them. Most still recommend the XLS over these wannabies too.

I happen to be the owner of the last 20 8" HDS's that madisound will ever get 🙂

Peerless are still selling by the bucket load over here in Europe. Did the google thing and can't find any formal annoucements, idle chat or general rumours that Peerless is pulling its HDS or XLS line from DIY or any other market.
Madisound is probably just not stocking them anymore if that's what you've heard.

I'm fairly certain it's confirmed... as far as the HDS
if this is he case all he better for me... as I need a lot more of these HDS's
however talking to Mark Seaton and Dylan at Ology audio both confirm what I've been told that once the stock of the XLS and HDS is exhausted peerless will not be offering them
actually Dylan and I are trying to come up with an HDS replacement and madisound is interested in possibly running it since they can't get the HDS any longer
99% sure I'm correct

Guess we'll have to see. If what you say is true I'm almost sure were talking about a year to wind down such a quantity of drivers.
I couldn't care less if the HDS disappeared because they are pretty naff anyhow.
But the XLS I'd miss because for £89 over here its rather cheap for what you get.

the HDS is a fantastic speaker... the testing on it bests a lot of very very high end speakers
if the HDS is gone the XLS is gone... as the rumor I heard first was on the XLS then madisound confirmed the HDS also 🙁

Mark tested the 7" awhile ago:

This was against the Seas basic L18 and the Dayton RS180. All things considered it was a close run thing between the 3 of them considering the results as a whole.
Its decent for the price, just like the others in the test but not not my kind of heaven no matter how many you stick on a baffle.
