I know KillerAccord had a set from Madisound, but I'm wondering the quality of some of the drivers they have.

What I would like to do is build my own comp set using their drivers, but they have some companies I've never heard of and the prices are strange because usually you pay through the nose for good drivers.

example, I would like to use a set of Illusion T25SN tweets, but at 36 bucks for the pair, I'm wondering what I'm paying for...I know Illusion is a pretty reputable company but that seems aweful cheap [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Using the Illusion tweets and Vifa P13MH0008's I can have a comp set for around 165 bucks...WTF?

Maybe it's just me but that seems kinda strange...or maybe I'm just used to Focal's pricing...which is anything but cheap for the better comp sets.

Any comments?

 

i do beleive the illusion went bankrupt a year or go or so
they are the company that makes the 8 inch neo's right?

 

Yea, they had the ND-8's, which were wicked midbass drivers

 

I'm lookin @ getting a set of comps from solen, scan-speak revelator tweets and mids. they seem like good prices.

 

Completely forgot about solen, they have some nice prices. I think im gonna pick up a set of peerless mid-range drivers to replace my cdt 4". If only I had money for some scan-speak drivers.

 

why dont u use active brandon?

 

PLOW, why don't you ship me that C-7 [img]smile.gif[/img]

 

I do? I run all Focal....

 

He's been puffing something or working those 50 Hr weeks again

 

Brandon,
putting your time towards the building of a custom component set will often yield rewards you would otherwise be unwilling to pay for. the time and effort you may put in is alot cheaper than that of a manufacturer and says nothing about the quality of the driver. a quality driver is a quality driver.
ie, if Alpine decides to use (modified )SS revelator technology for its F#1 Status components, so be it, and if they charge you $3500 USD for a component set which's parts you can source for $1000 so be it also. now, would you be upset or think less about buying an equivalent (the differences are so marginal in the grand scheme of things) component set of revelator drivers for only $1000 and think you are underpaying?
