I want to borrow one, or buy used a pair, of these cuties:
I am currently trying out a number of drivers as midranges in an open baffle system that I am putting together. The 18 Sound 6ND430 is a proven driver. Zaph tested these a few years ago and the data looks great, but it doesn't tell me what I need to know for use in my system where the driver is suspended in free air by wires (a nude swinging dipole system if that is a familiar term for you).
I would like to get my hands on one of these driver so that I can hang it up in free air and do off axis measurements in front and to the rear as well as distortion under these conditions. Since these drivers cost $150 each I am a little hesitant to buy a pair for these tests.
If I could borrow one driver that would be the best scenario. I would pay shipping both ways.
I would also be interested in a clean, used pair if the price is right.
I live in N. California, shipping from nearby would be preferable.
Please contact me if you can help me out. Thanks!

Also, although I would prefer to do these myself, if anyone has one and could do some measurements for me that would be awesome. I want to measure with driver suspended in free air, every 10-15 degrees around including behind the driver.

Hi @CharlieLaub, did you have any joy with testing one of these?
I'm looking at this as the mid for a SLOB inspired by @xrk971 build here: Cheap and FAST OB, Literally
Many thanks.
