To all Aussies

[Andy G]

.. because of the seeming disappearance of the avocanet DIY loudspeaker suppliers page, I have decided to start one of my own.

Its only just started, with the main ones I deal with,I know there are others, but if people email me, I can add these others as I get the info.

(Only interested in the big suppliers, not local shops, please)

I think it may be advantageous to have links for each of the capital cities with local, smaller shops... example.. its 4:30pm on a friday night, the following monday is a public holiday, and you NEED SOME SPEAKERS!! (as you do) where do you go? well... in Adelaide, there is www.citysouthelectronics.com.au they sell Peerless, and Vifa and the other cheap range that WES sells... sure.. they are more expensive.. but they are RIGHT THERE when you need them.. 🙂 www.advanceae.com.au also has vifa, peerless, and scanspeak... biggish distributor.. lol :S

Wooo... i always wondered if there was anyone in SA that sold decent drivers.

Even better... they are a 20min drive from me 🙂

For the perth people (person?) i know there was a dealer of vifa and such in munster but i cant remeber the name. For some reason a redback is what i see when i try to remember. Any ideas on the name?

You still have the info from the previous website. For Perth include WAR Audio for Cabasse, Focal, Raven, Axon, PHL, Accuton, Aeon caps and others.

MASS in Spearwood, Perth is no longer selling Vifa or Scanspeak drivers. Jaycar has marked up Vifas and Altronics has Peerless, along with their other brands.

Hi Andy,

Terry Paget of Paget loudspeakers is the distributor for Morel in Australia.

Paget Loudspeakers, PO Box 11,
Stockport, SA, 5410
(08) 8528 2201

email "Terry Paget" <aac@rbe.net.au>

Note the ME have sadly closed down (may be back at some point in the future, date unknown). I sent them an email a couple of weeks ago, regarding getting a panasonic mic, and a volume pot and found out they are no longer in business. You wouldn't happen to know where I can source panasonic electrets here in Aus would you?

Regards,

Tony.

The Vifa dealer in Munster is GSO Audio
http://www.gsoaudio.com They have a limited range of Vifa, ScanSpeak and Peerless. Most interesting they seem to be the only people carrying the Vifa Premium Line drivers. Now that WES are the distributors for these three companies the range seems to be much narrower, and with the demise of ME where am I going to be able to source decent Caps and coils at reasonable prices?? any ideas??

Best regards

John

Here is a link to the story behind the closing of ME-audio.

There is apparently going to be an auction, so I guess anyone interested in picking up some gear should email in for details.

Regards,

Tony.

Online?
Airmail from the US is very reasonable at the moment thanks to the spiralling $US, and for heavy drivers, surface, insured.
I've done it so many times it's a yawn, and for example PCX or AES get stuff to my door faster than Jaycar do more often than not.

WES components are now stocking Solen capacitors (price not too bad)...also , one of Peter's friends has purchased his coil winding gear, and from what I gather may shortly be offering the same range of coils. he may even continue the import the ME range of capacitors. I hope this is the case. !!
