I am a very respected and trusted member of several forums, including
diyma, diyaudio.com, htguide, as well as here occasionally. I have sold many of the most rare and exclusive drivers available to various parts of the US (including Hawaii) and even Europe (France). All of my equipment is brand new, this means NEVER POWERED, NEVER MOUNTED, NOTHING (these are NO exception). Some of the merchandise I have sold includes DLS A-series amplifiers, Diamond D7 series amplifiers, Pioneer Touchscreens, Ascendant Audio Avalanche 18s, Diamond D9 series subwoofers, OZ power series subwoofers, Scanspeak Revelator midbass/midrange, Seas Excel midbass/midranges, etc
I have three brand new Peerless XLS 8s (part number 830491) en route to my home after the long and arduous task of finding the few remaining...after I sold my
original pair. These are the best midbasses money can buy, in every aspect of reproduction!
Sensitivity 91dB @ 8ohm (effectively 94dB @ 4ohm) They are twice as efficient as a 4ohm speaker at the same 91dB sensitivity...yes you read that correctly
twice as efficient!
Displacement 240.52cm^2 of surface area and 10mm xmax
for a midbass//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif These have
4x the displacement of the coveted Seas W18NX midbass and double the displacement of the RS225! They have extreme dynamic capability and as a result. can get EXTREMELY loud (products of high sensitivity and huge displacement) and will keep up with nearly any substage.
Distortion comments from npdang
Price: discontinued
xmag: ~9mm
xsus: ~11mm
A world class driver with low mechanical noise and very impressive performance. Efficiency is excellent, and nearly a good 3db (2x the power) more efficient than any other driver in this group. It's hard to find any fault with this one! Simply the best, if you can find it!
It has the best technology and engineering has to offer in a motor (incredibly symmetrical BL curve and VERY little inductance variation)
Price Considering that these are the best midbasses money can buy (in nearly every aspect), the fact that they are discontinued and have been sold out for several months (last spring?), and the fact that i'm still hitting myself for even considering selling these beauties again...I'm setting the price at $300 each.
I will have detailed pictures upon arrival of the drivers. I do not want to remove the drivers from their packaging, but if you are serious about the purchase and need confirmation I can get pictures with my username/date/etc/whatever is required.
