    what's the difference between the three models? what is good for what? midrange, bass, low f3?

    I've got several versions of the Rival 176 with different cones and doping. I broke them in for a while.
    They all seemed to have outstanding bass performance, and good midrange clarity. If I didn't have a 
    full shelf of them, I'd be jumping on this sale.

    But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!

    A heck of a match with the $25 Dayton tweeters.

    These drivers are a steal at 100$

    thanks, trying to figure out which one to go for? too many choices... 12 woofers will be a bit much for all three varieties

    While I don't have distortion or listening tests yet, the coated kevlar look outstanding.

    There's not many of the R176-P-08 left.

    Anybody have measured t/s, FR for the coated cone? Any established projects. 
  • GowaGowa
    We are working on a TM for the R176-KVC-08 with the new Dayton RST28F-4.

    Jason, I'm curious to see what you learn. I have 4 of those waiting in the wings.

    It will be interesting to see the results, I have a very similar build in the works!
    I have a signature.
  • jr@macjr@mac
    Mine are the -KC, not the -KVC, however. 
    I have a signature.
  • GowaGowa
    The KVC has a slightly different coating. It appears to be a bit thicker also.

    So, will the 7" drivers then be NLA?

    Not that I know of. There's so many 7'' drivers on the market it is hard to know what people want. It's great to see the CSS and Anarchy doing well. While the CSS may be a little under priced, the Anarchy is much more so. Great for the DIY community.
  • jr@macjr@mac
    There does seem to be a glut of awesome 7" drivers around... 5" and 8", though.. ;-)
    rjj45
    I have a signature.
  • GowaGowa
    Agreed.
    I thought there was a lack of Kevlar drivers in that market and with Usher gone and Scan being so expensive I thought the Carbon/pulp would be a good opportunity. That's why I went for them.
    I've been trying to lock down 8'' and 5.5'' for a year but no luck. The MOQ is too high for most. I' presently trying to get in on some runs that are coming up. It is the only way I can get below the normal MOQ.

    Since I have both drivers on the shelf and it's a Dennis Murphy design, I'm very interested in this one. Will it be a public project, or can I buy just the plans?
  • GowaGowa
    Yes, the plans will be on a very special sale for $5,000.00. Previous customers only.

    I just called my son to tell him I can't pay his U-bill for the next few months. It's about priorities..

  • kenrhodeskenrhodes
    I picked up the r176-kb-08. Looks like the upper extension might help it cross to a HiVi RT1.3WE. Or I do have a set of LD22 laying around as well...


  • PWRRYDPWRRYD
    If it will cross to the RT1.3WE I think you will have a VERY nice pair of speakers (ie. I really like my pair of RT1.3WE tweeters).  Can't go wrong with the LD22 either!
  • e6zione6zion
    Hey I missed this sale.  If anyone happens to have an extra pair of R176-KVC-08, I'd love to buy them from you (I'm CONUS)
  • GowaGowa
    you got mail
  • GowaGowa
    We received some emails from people who missed this KVC sale and decided to re-post it for a while.
  • e6zione6zion
    This guy is waaaay too nice.  If you don't have a pair of Rival woofers, you owe it to yourself to give them a shot.
