Anyone knows where I can get the motorola ksn 1038 in or close to South Africa?

The closest thing to that tweeter is what looks like a replica.
on this site: http://www.scotronics.co.za/Tweeters.htm

The model LS 0258 looks like the real Mcoy.

I will try and get the specs from the Company and post it later.

I'd really like to see you get the genuine part. Some products like this work well, but others aren't suitable at all. So please make sure you've found the right one.

Good things come to those who search hard [message #38365 is a reply to message #38364] Thu, 19 September 2002 01:46 Go to previous messageGo to next message

After searching the web, making quite a number of phone calls and sending numerous emails, I was contacted by a supplier a few minutes ago who will get me the real motorola tweeters for $10 ea. He is even personally delivering it at no extra cost. What can I say, my dream is slowly becoming reality.

That's great! If you'd like, post the supplier. I'm sure others in your area would be glad to know.

I will get the supplier's full details when I meet him.

I will soon (well the woofers will take 3 months to be delivered) have a set of Pi Speakers in theforeground of some of the pictures on these sites.

Needless to say, to match that kind of beauty, the pi's have to be really good looking.

I guess I'll be taking a trip around Cape Town with them. A lot more pictures when the towers are here.

Till Later

Wow! What a view!!!

That's a very beautiful place. Thanks very much for posting these web sites!

One of these times, Cape Town is a place I definitely need to visit! When I do, I'll contact you and make a reservation. Are you sure about the cost? It seems like the price is about 10 times too low. Fifteen bucks a night in American dollars?

Cape Town is definitely the ultimate holiday. The cheapest most beautiful place. A Big Mac with extra large fries and an extra large coke will cost you under $2.
Comfortable accommodation can cost you anything from $10 (self catering) to $2000 per night (The Hotels on "Millionaires Row" where the pop stars stay)

An average very comfortable room in a 3 to 4 star hotel can cost you around $35 dollars a night. There has been a major cleanup on crime recently.

But don't take my word search the web and see for yourself.

I will be happy to show you around so if you do decide to come, please mail me and we can take this discussion further.

Take Care
Oscar

The supplier is also a distributor who supplies local dealers. I promised him that I will not mention the fact that I got it from him for that price, to avoid bad relations between him and the dealers.

I was however also called by a dealer called Soundworks who could sell the ksn 1038 to me for R112,00 (R11,20), the ksn 1041 sells for R108 ($10.80). I do business with them quite often and they are very professional their website is:
www.soundworks.co.za

I will post details of the Eminence dealer as I plan to see him sometime today. He unfortunately does not have a website. The distributor's website (www.rollingthunder.co.za) has been supended, but their details can be found here:
http://www.clubbing.co.za/rolling.htm

They do not sell directly to the public, but I'm sure they can give you a list of their dealers to help you search for the best price.

BTW they are the distributors for both Eminence and Motorola

If there are any South Africans building Pi speakers, please mail me.

It would be great if we can assist each other.

Cheers.
Oscar
