OzMikeH, thanks for the info. I'm running karna style amps but with filbiased SE input/drive with ariel style speakers at the moment. Would like to wait until the RAAL is locked in from a design point. Assuming he goes ahead with these.. (has them in hand and with not so many alternatives) I'm sure we can wrap this up pretty quickly. Seems all we're needing is for two more people, unless someone wants spares.

Creating an ABN is no sweat- i think it takes about 15 minutes online. I created one and got the certificate within 2 weeks.
To create one, just search for ABN registration on google.

Incorporation fees
An ABN may be easy to get and free. but a company that is registered through ASIC is not. the price is upwards of $500 initially and there are maintenance fees. it is in no means easy to just set up a shell company just for a group buy.

I think getting an ABN just for a group buy is a bit shonky.
I suggest approaching a business to buy 5 pairs with guaranteed sales of 4 pairs for a minimal (or zero) fee for their handling.
The business gets to try out the drivers for minimal expense and risk. They arent going to put the cash up front with no profit in it but we could sweeten the deal by paying the business up front.
Hopefully the business then goes on to become the Australian dealer for RAAL.

I'm thinking of purchasing the RAAL as well, if the price is right.
I will ask the purchasing manager here at work if we can buy them through the company I work for. If this is possible I might be able to ship to you guys for free as we have brances all over Australia.

Harry

OzMikeH,
I completely agree with what you say, and I'm not sure anyone mentioned specifically registering a business for this purpose.
Although, there have been several instances where it has just been asumed.
If a larger and more established manufacturer was interested in evaluating the drivers with a view to distributing the product, thats terrific and I'm all for it. The only potential consideration might be having the first four pairs walking out the door with zero markup at the same time crossing 4 customers from the potentials list.
Of course if we dont have 5 people, we dont have a starting point.. seems to me that might be our largest concern, the rest should play out naturally enough.
Regards,
Shane

There seems to be a resonable amount of interest from aussies.
A group buy of 5 pairs doesn't need to be OEM neccessarily- 25% is still reasonable for a 10+ unit group buy, even if it's not OEM pricing?

I am interested but ...
I am interested But even $550 is a lot of money for me at the moment though in a couple of months maybe able to buy much more easily.

Yes for the 140-15D at 169 euros plus shipping.
Just a thought, I could ask some one I know who manufactures audio products to help us out.

As far as I know OEM means original equipment manufacturer and it sounds to me like you lot are just interested in scamming a cheap price.
If I was the maker of RAAL I would tell you to **** off.

Not the best way to put it but yes, I don't think Alex will be too impressed by the tactics.
Guys, if your really wanting that OEM discount how about emailing Alex and trying to work through the details that way him? Has anyone aside from Chris even bothered to contact him?
If the receiving party was a legitimate manufacturer of original equipment, there should be no problem. Frankly, I dont see what your problem is or what it has to do with you. Thanks for your opinion.

Stoolpigeon I've worked hard for my money so I don't give it away. I don't like the language you use and you don't offer anything constructive.
Shane I'll get back to you with more information next week as I have to take off and pick up my kids.
