I feel I have led you down the garden path a little with this
Not at all, you run a business and it needs to make financial sense in the end......
I feel I have led you down the garden path a little with this
Good afternoon all, sorry this took a while, it takes ages going through all the trade price lists from all the manufacturers.
Cabinet wise, these normally work out at £281.95 plus VAT for a flat pack pair including damping material, rear panel binding posts (Jantzen gold plated high quality jobbies), Van Damme OFC HiFi speaker cable, all the screws, bolts and threaded inserts you need and some neoprene gasket for the rear baffle. I’m not including glue in the kits cost because some of you are overseas and it’s a prohibited item. I can do that separately though if needed. I can get the price for this down to £240 plus VAT assuming everyone on the list that wanted one goes ahead. For those who want built cabinets I can do that for £100 plus VAT
The drivers and crossovers I am going to withdraw from, actually Falcon have got the drivers down to about 10% markup over the factory pricing so by even if I sold them to you guys for the same price they have them for, I'd be making a loss by the time I fannied around and packaged them up etc. Similarly with the caps, coil and resistors, being low value items there is only pennies in it once I have packed everything up and sent it out. You are best going to HiFi collective for these. I feel I have led you down the garden path a little with this, normally there is at least 25% mark up on drivers so it's doable. I'm not quite sure why Falcon have got such little mark up at the moment but I'd get these while they've got them if I were you.

Cabinets and bits sounds good to me too. I'm almost a complete novice so would need the glue too, plus the built and tested crossovers (which seem to have disappeared from your website - are they available?).
Can I check these are the links for the drivers - https://www.falconacoustics.co.uk/scanspeak-15w-8530k01-midwoofer-revelator-range.html and https://www.falconacoustics.co.uk/morel-cat-378-tweeter.html.
For me this is a go if I can get the crossovers built...
Good price here but not currently in stock, free shipping as well. They also do the 378's

The above isn't any cheaper than Falcon once you take VAT into account. It might be worth seeing how many of you are still in even if you are having to sort the drivers and XO parts out seperatly. If you are all still wanting to press ahead depite no discount on those bits then I can probably supply them at Falcon prices. I'll make a small margin and an make sure everything is correct and still do the builds for those of you who wanted to go that way as I would have to obviously buy the parts for those anyhow. Lets see what you all think.

I saw it but not sure if this site can be trusted though, no contact number...
I’m still in but would need to confirm the fine details (eg grilles)
