WTB Peerless TG9FD-08

[Stuey]

Yeah, I'm building the XRK Dayton/Scan Speak FAST which has as a cheaper alternative the Peerless, which is 1/4 the cost of the Scan. I can get the Scan easily in Australia so it looks like I'll have to lash out. The XRK speaker better be good! 🙂

XRK mentioned the following about the TG9 (fiberglass cone)

Ok but while doing more research I wanted to find out the difference between the TG9 and the easily sourced TC9 (paper one)
I already have a pair of TC9 but wanted to get the TG9 basically for comparison and curiosity….my OCD part….😂

Well, after finding the following thread:TC9/TG9 compared
I’m stopping my research for a pair of TG9 👍

Hope the above helps
Eric

@mordikai
Sorry for polluting your WTB post

 

[mordikai]

No sweat really. I’m not that pure or bothered by much.

 

[Stuey]

Thanks Eric, that is very interesting!

Found them listed on Rakuten here. Unfortunately, they’re only sold domestically in Japan, so you’d need a proxy buying service (Zenmarket, Buyee, etc)
to get them, or maybe ask for help from some of our Japanese friends here

 

[mordikai]

looks like Rakuten has them for the equivalent of $40 usd each, ouch!

 

[Stuey]

No, that price is for a pair.

Better buy anything Chinese like the TC9 Peerless before our new leadership takes over. Up to 60% import duties will be charged on any products coming from China into the US. Our hobby is about to get alot more expensive.

I have 5 of these unused that I can sell. Located in Finland though so shipping will be expensive.

 

[Stuey]

Yeah, it's probably not worth it for me as I am about as far away from you as it gets...

 

[Mayuri]

Yeah. If someone gets interested though just throw me a PM. They've been sitting unused for the last 7 years or so. Will continue to so so until someone buys them or I actually get time to build something 😁
