Mikwrx Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Great list, do any of them make a subwoofer that costs around $500? Used subs are really hard to find in Perth and I can't really afford to spend $1000 on an SVS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest you put a WTB (Wanted to Buy) and maybe someone in Perth may have a used one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M튆àR 2 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Speaking of NZ speakers. Purchased these new in 1985 from Wellington Audio & Record Company Ltd for $1375 (pricey back then). Still going strong and still sounding great. Lambert Audio SP250's 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Time Lucky Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Are there any Australian manufacturers that make open baffles apart from Kyron Audio? I'm interested in getting them as a speaker upgrade, but I think I might have to get some Triart Audio ones at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Hegde Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Great list.. can special attributesbofvtheanufacturer be added to the list ? Krix = known for cinema and home theatre speakers Adelaide Speakers = transmission line speakers etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would have to refer to them as "zero baffle"! And you need - as I heard said recently - "a wallet that 5 men need to carry" ... in order to pay for them. Perhaps the new spkrs I've just made for myself would fit the bill? They have recently replaced my 3-way active Maggies. See attached pics - colour is your choice (from quite a wide range of powder-coat colours). To make these run, you will need: 2x stereo amps of at least 50wpc into 4 ohms. 2x stereo subs (which take over at 90-150Hz) and a miniDSP active XO. PM me if you're interested.

notchasingrainbows Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Great thread! Came across the Pitt and Giblin brand from TAS a couple months back, and was wondering how the superwax and the superwax mini sound with the hypex amp. Thinking of simplying my rig. Looking forward to hear some feedbacks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to go with a couple of mates to the bar in Brunswick that installed them to check them out but then lockdown hit so it’s been postponed (like everything else).
