Use a single A10 then.
You could start with the A10.3 Mar-Ken centre.

Been running a slight variation on that design (front baffle slanted at 5dg) for several years now as a centre channel, works like a charm.
Hello! Now that MAOP 10.2 is starting to be sold in several parts of Europe at better prices, several will surely buy them. Is there any possibility to develop alternative boxes for this unit MAOP 10.2? I've been looking for an alternative, but I can't find anything. Scottmoose do you have time with any suggestions for suitable boxes? Thanks.

Just popping parameters into WINISD the MAOP 10 seems to match closely with the Alpair 10.3 for the default vented and closed boxes.
I have tried WinISD.
I got 11.85 liter and 46 hz.
Vent dim. 3.5 cm and length 8.58 cm.
Is that ok?

I find it difficult to calculate the dimensions of the box. Height width depth.
Then the driver and the base tube must be placed.
I have understood that it is important for the result.
Scottmoose is good at this.

Hi Dave.
Is there a possibility that Alpair is selling out defective MAOP10?
I begin to doubt that this is the case. Is that why they halve the price?

I doubt it. I suspect a breakthru in production that reduces the number they have to toss.
They certainlt seem more available these days, before it was limited by how many they could make.

As far as I know, end-pricing is largely down to the distributor & their margins. Markaudio do not knowingly flog defective product, which would be of questionable legality (to say nothing of the moral side). What they have done though is release more product worldwide. Until recently most of the the MAOP units went to Japan so the units were special-order in other regions, assuming the factory could even supply them. An increasing number of people elsewhere started asking dealers to carry the drivers though -enough to produce more batches of drivers than before, and with greater availability / scales, so you have more margin to play with.

Hope you are right. I can not find Alpair MAOP 10 on the Mark Audio website. Think it's weird if it's still being produced.
MAOP 7 and 11 are there.

There is no 'hope' about it -like their drivers or not, one thing that MA cannot be accused of is illegally selling seconds or the like misrepresented as other than they are. Reputable brands do not do that. Not unless they want to find themselves on the wrong side of a lawsuit.
Now, as for 'weird', it isn't. As stated above, the MAOP units are not series production drivers, but made in batches when sufficient orders from dealers justify it. The 10, having been around for a number of years, is not produced as often, so they don't carry it on their site as availability is relatively sporadic.

Ok, I understand.
I will get them today.
Thanks for explaining.
Do you have any plans for Alpair Maop10.2?

It might be stretched to fit, but a little smaller works better with the miniOnken alignment.
It will essentially be a Mar-Ken10T but a bit shorter (11/13s the internal height) and new vent size.
