Sales, deals, and steals - formerly known as the "PE DOTD" thread.

Thought it might be fun to keep an active thread on PE DOTD. Sometimes it is pretty awesome:

April 8 - 264-1090, Peerless 6.5" poly hds woofer is $26 today. 

DanP

Man, good efficiency, no breakup, cast frame, good specs for vented enclosure - that's a lot of bang for the buck.

Great driver! Great price! I have to many already 😞.

DanP

Too many?  What's that?

Wolf

Yeah- he's NOT one of us! Imposter!

hifiside

This is to many at the moment. I’ll pass this time.

gene_stl

I think he may be one of us.

Wolf

Yeah, my mistake.

DanP

LMAO are those all that exact driver!?

Wolf

If they are, my count is 42, which is of course the answer to everything.

hifiside

Yes. These are all the 874’s. My Peerless collection is quite vast.

DanP

Usher 8836AC today at 41% off.  Buttery smooth bass and mids with one of the easiest rolloffs I've ever encountered.  I have 8 at home waiting for an isobaric MTM, otherwise I'd be all over this.

Do the Usher 8836AC's offer anything the Rival 7inchers don't? (for new builds--obviously they have value as replacements or in existing designs)

DanP

I've never used the Rivals, nor have I ever seen distortion measurements alongside other drivers under the same measurement conditions, so I don't really know what their performance level is.  I do know the Usher 8836AC drivers exhibit very low distortion, a very easy to work with frequency response and excellent specs for both sealed and vented alignments.  It's a tough driver to beat at the DOTD price.

I would say the same thing about its brother, the 8945A.

I wouldnt hesitate , they are very nice drivers . Mr.JR built me a nice set of two ways using the 8 inch. Very nice drivers . I dont see the smaller being any different. Once these are gone , they are gone. I heard no more usher drivers for the DIY community 

Gowa

That's a great deal from a well-reviewed company.

Mitchell_Cote

Dan.  I think you have worked with the Peerless 830883 as well.  Do you have some quick thoughts on how they compare to the Usher.

Wolf

Kerry did, don't know if Dan has.

PE CX120 on sale today. 
I'm on the fence, not low distortion, but FR pretty smooth.
Might make a nice desktop or surround. Anybody heard these?

Yep. I have a pr sitting in my shop and I worked the Xover last year for Paul K when he used it as a mid/tweet unit. Not bad really. Crossed at about 4k iirc.
