Best ever deal for loudspeaker kits.

[Rgn1]

Hello Capt,

Let me start by giving you special thanks for starting such a great thread. I have been reading this thread for a long time and thought this is one of the best deal and the DIY will give me priceless satisfaction as well. Kindly let me know what is a price for X-LS Encore and X-CS Encore, how to pay and when we will get delievery.

OK guys, had a very long chat with Sunit and Devkumar of Peerless. Re-importing of drivers through Peerless is ruled out due to bureaucratic red tape. We will have to pay customs and duties as explained earlier here

Since it has been some time since the GB was announced, I'm not sure how many of us are still interested. I'm posting the interest here (Including those who posted lately) Kindly calculate your payments by discounting the below figures to the tune of 15%

Do also mention in the thread as to how many of us paid already. Shall we keep the payment open of a certain period of time? We can give a cutoff date within next 15 to 20 days IMO. What do you say?

As per captain this item combination is not available anymore. Hence would like to go for the GR SW-12B driver alone for $99. Please add me to the list and I would transfer the money using paypal to Danny.

Thanks.

 

[anm]

this one is a non servo, right?

 

[manniraj]

this one is a non servo, right?

Yes I think so. The servo one with the combination starts at $498 which is over my budget

 

[exljp]

Hi Captain
As I understand X-LS Encore has a floor stander enclosure design. Refer the details given here by Danny in Reply 59 . Can the Chennai made cabinets be made to that specs?
the box design itself is here

 

[anm]

Danny what other servo kits are available?

 

[captrajesh]

@Manniraj you may PM your requirement to Danny. For all you know he may make an exception & offer the full kit.

@Exljp all the builds should be possible; let the drivers come.

Sorry captain..

I did PMed Danny and as per him he is running short of the full kit for sub. So I think I will settle for the driver alone as part of the groupby. Then can you please add me to the groupby for the drive alone.

Thanks.

Sorry to hear that. Sure you can join the group buy. Make the payment and send me your contact details; I'll share the googlesheet and you can update it.

 

[Danny Richie]

Danny what other servo kits are available?

I have servo subs designed for open baffle operation. We run two of the SW-12-16FR's on one A370PEQ amp in the Super-V kit. You can actually run three of those woofers off of that one A370 amp.

Hi captain

Thanks, I thought of doing the payment thru paypal. I do not see the details for making paypal payment in the thread. Can you please refer me to the same.

Edit: Ok got it I made the payment of $99 to Danny's paypal a/c. Will send you my contact details, and please share the google sheet so that I can update my payment details.

Thanks

 

[manniraj]

Hi Captain

Sent you a PM with my contact details. Danny confirmed thru the PM that he has received the payment for $99. He has also referred to the plate amplifier which is a good match for this sub Apex Jr if somebody is interested can you look out for this one. I think this is not part of the groupby.

Thanks.

 

[omishra]

One more information just confirmed with Danny.

Hole size of Banana post cups for LS-encore is to be referred as mentioned on page 4 of this diagram document.

thanks. any precautions on placement, cabinet design etc when making a dual woofer sub out of these? Pricing for 2 subs+amp?

Yes I think so. The servo one with the combination starts at $498 which is over my budget

Danny - Which kit is this? and is it available?

Hi anm,
I think Danny was referring to this item which is part of the groupby..

Thanks

 

[captrajesh]

if somebody is interested can you look out for this one. I think this is not part of the groupby.

Even if someone is interested, it may not be possible to include in this GB unless Danny agrees to ship it along with that of his.
