OK, Jim says the speaker is discontinued.


I couldn't find any of them in the USA, but in Australia you can get them for $47 US, which comes to a total of 2350 or so for the speakers. They use a dedicated equalizer, but what the heck lets buy a brand new top of the line Rane digital True-Q equalizer for them at $800 US$. Since they need no crossover, you don't need that. So you are up to 3100. Lets ask a skilled cabinet builder to build us a couple of boxes. Say $1500 a piece. Now we are up to $6100. Russell wants $18,000. WOW! This guy just got a cool 12 grand on each one.

But you need a current model speaker. Reproducing his stuff, I'd buy a Aurasound NS3-193.

("Aurasound NS3-193 - This driver has smooth response with minimal breakup and very low distortion. Bass distortion and extension are the lowest of the group, and a full +/- 5mm Xmax is almost unheard of for a driver of this size. If I had to pick one of these drivers to run without any filter at all, this would probably be the one. Don't get the wrong idea however - it will need a baffle step circuit. Also of special note is the frame - care will need to be taken to seal the frame to the enclosure. Due to it's design and high output, it's prone to rattling from air leakage. A small bead of rubber cement around the opening will solve that problem. Great little woofer---Zaphaudio: http://www.zaphaudio.com/minitest/" )

These are super little speakers and better than the ones he used in my opinion, are only $19 each, so the total would be just 950 bucks. We can now make an additional 1200 bucks when we sell them for 18 thou!
