Good Comp's?

[thomas]

Have been looking at these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32819&item=5702958069&rd=1

Could give them a healthy 200W rms each off my PGold amp if i were to bridge the 4 channels.

Question is, are they any good (at that price)?

 

[marko]

Good comps they are.... but 200 Watts RMS is a bit strong since the stated power handling is 20 - 170 Watts. If 170 is the max then you'd be likely to get about 75 - 85 RMS i believe.

No doubt i will be corrected by the ICE gods.

 

[Tom]

Yup, they are quite good.

Not sure why you are obsessed with ebay USA though

 

[thomas]

200W rms is fine it will be more like 170 anyway because of the small voltage drop. They are heavy cones and they need at least 150 to sound good!

I like this indo ebay seller because his prices are stupidly low and he's got some good quality ice

These speakers will eventually go in the rear to make way for some focals in a few months time but if i'm happy with them i may not need the focals...i can't lose in that sense!

 

[Tom]

unless you are getting some focal utopias then they won't be better than the diamonds.

Agree with Tom there, you buy from Ebay USA and you are gonna incurr import duty, VAT and a post office charge as well
My missus ordered a couple of bits of makeup, it came from Hong Kong, only cost £22, but she got stung for an extra £8 in duty and P.O charges.
If anything comes in that costs more than £18 it is likely to get hit with extra charges.

Put it this way if i buy them from ebay they cost 151 plus charges...say 40 squid thus grand total of say 200 or there aboots. Option two i buy them from a decent place e.g caraudiodirect and i pay 500 pounds and upwards. Whats to think about?!

Also they WILL be Utopias Tom

 

[Tom]

£40 shipping plus 25% import duty.

Well.. still won't sound as good as my bravo

 

[thomas]

We'll see Tom, we'll see.

 

[Tom]

No, I know

 

[thomas]

My ears are better than your ears!

 

[Tom]

Hehe!

CHALLENGE! So far on the bravo SQ soundoff its myself, Dank Army and you.
