Between Mark and Rob over at CSS... I will definitely go crazy.

Yes, one step forward, 0.75 steps back

As Nathan mentioned, our move to a new location set things back unfortunately. On top of this came updates to our coil winder, a new CNC turning center, etc. etc.

Out of ciaos comes order.

My target is to have parts turned and ready to go by the end of June. I should have specs up on the website by then.

Thanks for your patience.

Best,
Mark

any news for those of us with the 21s? (or does this news include that too?)

Thanks

Matt

Still waiting on the parts Matt. I received an Email from the supplier last week apologizing for the delay. I will keep you informed on any updates.

Best,
Mark

okay, thanks for keeping us up to date.

Regards,

Matt

Hey I am really interested in getting one of these 18s. Id like to get in on a pre release special if there is one. Does anyone know if mark is taking orders yet? Is there a definitive price yet, introductory price? I plan on pairing it with my two AE 18" passives, how will this do? Will the passive be enough, I think I remember someone saying they had an 18" lms with two AE passives.

So how hard is it to make a Carbon Fibre 21" cone?

I know its not happening but I just wondered.

Should be an exciting summer for Canadians with these new drivers!

Awesome!!

I know this is a subwoofer but how high do you think these subs can play to?

I definitely need to get a dust mask for the sawdust I'm going to be making... and I've got 2 ep2500's waiting for something to motivate

Are all of the 21's pre sold or are some still available?

I sure hope so! Curious to see how awesome they will be.

Will there be numbers for anything besides the 21, you know?

Is this for the 18 or the 21, i thought the 21 parts were still on the boat from china.

Matt

No, it was the 12 year old workers coming over to build them.

Was that really called for?

I planned on buying two more 21s after having my first pair built. I dont have alot of money like others and will have to wait and save. Mark said he can always make more of the same 21.

SO the initial order was a pre-order(300 deposit per 21) so Mark could see that enough people would actually be buying 21's. Mark said he can make more in the future also. Thats atleast my understanding. Lots of things change so who knows what the future will hold.

The carbon/paper hybrid paper cone and that tall surround look incredible. Coupled with the supposed performance of this 18, I can't wait to get a hold of one... Considering ordering my EP2000 now! Wish we had T&S's to play around with enclosure modeling

If it's priced right, it'll sell like crazy. Needs yo compete withe the inexpensive and efficient horn design offerings though. Or work well in a new, low knee horn design.

So will this be a decent replacement for a Maelstrom-X?

Looks quite nice, I'd love to see how it models in a huge TH

Depending on the price, I might just be able to make a pair of these happen in my HT... I do have a pair of EP2500's "sitting around".

4 of these and an FP14000 hmmm.

wonder how close the 21s will be?

Matt

Any info on the inductance linearity?

Oh my sweet Jesus!

Suuhhhweeeeeeeet!



Yeah. That's what I'm thinking.


I'm looking for the rating, myself. This sure looks like an awesome driver. Any ballpark estimate on the price on one of these and availability?
