BUYOUT ScanSpeak M18WO-27-08

Comments

    Looks like the PL18 without the under spider venting PE discontinued over 10 years ago for like $36.
    (I have no direct experience with the M18 above.) Looks nice though. In the currant inflation it probably isn't to over priced performance wise. Buyout/NLA wise maybe overpriced.
    I think Nick bought a pair of M18s. I hope he chimes in.

    Interesting. Might be worth buying a pair to see if I can make a "Working Man's CanTiLena".

    I do love that last key feature - "Rigid cast aluminum frame securely holds everything together"

    This driver looks to be is based on the ancient Vifa M18WO. That one is 30 years old.

    There are better choices these days, eg RS180P is a better driver and better value too

    I know it’s a dinosaur of a design, but (my opinion only of course) those old vifa/scan pulp drivers sound really good. I think PEs price is too high on these, but that works out because it keeps me from being tempted to buy some lol.

    Spot the dinosaur...

    If that is a game, and RS180P VS M18WO, then the RS is on the right, correct?

    Heres a couple shots of the Vifa M18 buy out from PE. I havent spec'd or done anything with them yet, other than to inspect them when they arrived .

    Yes.
    I agree that the buyout deal isn't anything amazing, but the Scanspeak buyout is $60 and the RS180p $63. I got the similar Scanspeaks that were 16 ohms with a truncated frame - but they were $45 which appeared more to my thriftiness.

    If wood and crossover part prices were still what the they were 10+ years ago, and I wasn't so burnt out making perfect driver rebates... I would buy some of these PE buyouts for future projects.

    PE is pricing their buyouts pretty high these days.

    I have a signature.

    Correct. I can't remember the last time I purchased from PE.
