Well having spent the last few weeks researching my next project I have decided to follow the popular route (alot of discussion at the moment - and some really nice examples) of a Proac 2.5 clone (with the 2905/9500 option as i have these utilised in my current project)
Now, all i need are the 8535's ( i take it i need the W and not the S type?).
Following a bit of research i can only seem to find one supplier in the UK for these drivers, that being Wilmslow at about £100 each driver, is this my only option? are there any other suppliers that i could use?
I do not mind paying this price for the drivers but would obviously prefer to purchase them at a lower price if i can.
Any ideas would be much appreciated,
Thanks
Mark

Hi, Im not sure about availability across the pond? (Ive always thought that Wilmslow had highish pricing) but you can use either W or S version. There should only be about $10 (US) difference between the two. I would think that having it shielded is a benefit!
J2JD,
I thought the S may have stood for shielded, thanks for the confirmation.
And yes, now i know for certain I will order the shielded version when i find a supplier who's price i am happy with 😉

but they deliver only if there is no distributer of Vifa/Scan-Speak in your country. That's why we pay 150 euro's ..... in the Netherlands.
Well, he's from England so it's no problem then. Same for me as I'm in Sweden.
€150, huh?
Well, quite frankly, that sucks!
Makes quite a difference when you're buying elements for a 5 speaker setup.

From the email reply i received Audiocomponents.nl-
...
"Vifa and Scan-Speak loudspeakers can only be delivered to
customers in countries without a regular distributor, or, just
in case of exception, to customers who don't want to buy from
their national DST-representative."
pick the 2nd option!

Did you go any further with this? I only ask as a friend is considering building the Praoc 2.5 clones.

Hi mike,
I have not progressed any further with this as my time is limited at the moment - I am entering Exam season and when combined with my job things are really tight time wise
I will be starting them on June the 1st - and am going to order the drivers soon, i will let you know how i got on.
I trying to decide on finishes at the moment , I have ordered some veneer and am going to have a play on my current speakers to see what happens.
