Yes guys The XBL^2 improvments will make them even better value than the the GR drivers are now.
Hank.
Re the cost of the driver to other smaller XBL^2 drivers.
Danny is the supplier and retailer of his drivers at a cost margine he can live by.
Now the Extremis what is the price point of this driver.Well what does it compete against.Drivers in the $100.00 plus range.
Plus working with dealers reflects the cost.Add a Neo motor and not cheap level of Neo price goes up
Same applies for the WR drivers and FR drivers.
These are drivers that are marketed to a dealer network.Same as any other speaker manufacture does.
Note this is why Danny is the only person retail the drivers themself.
Not this is a bad thing.
If Bob at CSS was to only sell his drivers to everone no dealers at all.The price would also be reflected.
Back to the other drivers adding such things as copper to the phase plus,coating of the cone,copper to the pole piece.These are all added costs in the price of the drivers.
Asking to sell the small XBL^2 drivers for this price heck lets just ask all the other speaker manufactures to drop the price down to $25.00-30.00 for drivers retailing in and around $100.00-$150.00.
Think PE or Mad would like spending $25.00 on a driver to sell it for $27.00 and have to hold a inventory of 20-40 of each driver.
Boy that is what I would like to invest in
Back at the forum.
Danny will have a very good driver at a cost he can retail and maintain a price point he is happy with selling himself to the public.As well Danny does offer a discount to OEM who do purchase large quantities as well.
