I just got a quote for The Eminence Kappa 15 From www.avatarspeakers.com(cool guy) for $55 a piece.

Anybody have any experience with this driver? The response graph shows a missing low end compared to the delta, and it has a way heavier cone, and a much higher Zmax... still dang efficient though.

I dunno, $55 is pretty good.

You're damn right. I paid $230 cdn for my Kappa 15's.

How on earth did you get that price? His site says like $200 for the Kappa's. I'd be careful if I were you.

The Kappas are my favourite of the Eminence drivers. I think they have the best price to performance ratio from my experience. Only bad thing about them really is peaking in the 2 kHz region. Impedance compensation will help get rid of the nasal midrange sound.

I have most experience with the Kappa 15LFA's.

Thats list price, it says "shop around and we'll beat any price" on the top of the page, he's a good guy, he stuck to it. I quoted him the dealer prices I get from Image for the delta 15, he said he would beat them buy a buck, he didn't have 15's in stock, but he said he had a lot of kappas, and would give em to me for $55.

Origianl response(after quoting a few random eminence drivers):
> > Hi, Those are very good prices. they are
> > distributors and they are quoting our dealer cost
> > for their prices..and I called and they don't have
> > all of those in stock but in the spirit of
> > competetion, I will beat those by a buck...Dave

Then I asked about the Delta 15A, PSD2002, h290,...

His response:
"HI Daniel, Yes those prices are our costs...I guess I should modify our beat the price claim to 'Beat any dealer price' One thing, if you could use the kappa 15 instead of the delta 15...we stock those here and could do those for 55 ...just a few bucks more but 400 rms...Dave"

The guy emailed me back and said that every price I quoted him was his cost to the cent. So I told him nevermind, it was a nice offer but I don't wanna make him loose money.

But.

Will give you dealer prices. Just ask them for a Price List, then call them up and try to order something, they'll make an account for you then you'll always have an account number you can order with.
