Hi! Did you manage to get the drivers from Soundimports?
Thanks a lot if you can let me know!
Hi.
They have told me that they will receive the speakers after the 5th of October. I believe that I will (at last) have them 10 ~ 15 days later.

Oh OK! Thank you!
I've ordered them on August and still nothing :// So bad!
Let's see when I'll got them and I'll update the thread for listening impressions and build!

Hi everyone!
From Soundimports they did confirm they should arrive this week and so hopefully next week I'll get them!!! Finally!!!
So... now time to really think, about a good enclosure for them and maybe also start to build it! 🙂
This DDVP-12.5 seems good but, as I mostly listen music when working on computer I would like to explore some desktop setup, if doable.
I actually have a pair of Dayton Audio RS100-4, in a Transmission Line box (32x23x13cm) and they are really! great with the nicest bass I've ever heard, yep that's true!
I would stay in the TL also for the CHP-90 so if someone as some suggestion is it really welcome!
I saw there is this "Psamathe" on MA website (https://www.markaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Psamathe-CHP90-RTL.png) but maybe would be better something smaller, not so tall, maybe ?larger?? some Golden Ratio for desktop maybe...
Thank anyone if they can suggest somthing and I'll prob open a separate thread once I got them!

I send them an e-mail two days ago and they answered that they are waiting a shipping about the end of this week. I hope they will arrive till the end of the next week here in Athens (a whole month of delay according to the original timeline). OOOOh by the way they advertise the driver as "paper". Not as "mica" (already "out of stock")
Transmition Line Box so small? Even "Tenhore" in a German site is taller. Any link (for my FRS8 Visaton) ?
Looks to me like extended Bass-reflex but maybe I'm wrong. I'll stick to
nandappe's DDVP-12.5.
If the sound doesn't satisfy my taste then maybe (later) I'll try a Frugel-Horn if I discover the drawings with dimensions and stuffing details.Elias

Yes indeed, they'll arrive soon! 🙂 after a + month delay, right!
And yes, a nice small TL ! so small but so performant!
I adapted the dimensions a little bit but basically this is the inspiring project (Hado TL with RS100-4): https://transmissionlinespeakers.com/en/designs/hado-english/
Frugel-Horn probably sound great, as should be also a standard Pencil I guess!
Let's update!

Kindly provide us with your listening experience soon.
I'm curious on how it will sound VS. MAOP
I'm also curious on how similar (or different) it will sound VS. the older Alpair 10P (having similar paper cone structure).
Mine delivered an hour ago (actually more than two). Not impressed . No S/N at all & not the slightest ventilation hole/opening, behind the spider
Just some photos captured by my mobile-phone
1st A properly made and inspected full range speaker (very well known I like to believe)
2nd and 3rd A comparison between the first and MA
4th farther comparison . The drivers are : (front right) ScanSpeak 5F/8422T01, (front left) a no-name made-in-China 2" full ranger (not a "cheap" one), (left behind) Peerless TG9FD10-08, (head/center) Mark Audio CHP-90 (without "mica")

I have got a pair of Alpair CHP-90 today too. Mica.

Mica... hey Mica, where are you ?
They are declared as "paper" (I can see small reflective flakes that looks like "mica")

NOWHERE !!! My first contact with Mark Audio is total disappointment ! It is like to have in hands a "cheapo". Only the stiffness of the diaphragm - the Viewing Side - is acceptable (In Greece we tell that "It isn't enough to have just the name")
Elias
Lol, it is a cheap model.
But sound is not cheap when i hear them at youtube. Well I must have a box. Small one and about 14 litre and bass reflex.
