Why does no-one have 16 ohm bloody speakers in stock!

Hi all,

Looking for speakers to upgrade a 2 x 10 which needs to end up at 8 ohm, so either 4 ohm or 16 ohm speakers are needed.

But all the usual suspects have hardly any of these in stock!

Given that 2 x 10 is quite a common setup, why does no-one have any?

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to get speakers from. So far, I've tried Lean, Blue Aran and ebay. I won't use Watford Valves and HotRox don't really have much.

Cheers,
James

You can get 4ohm BP102s here:

They can't ship outside the US direct to you, but this explains how to get around that problem:

Thanks Howard - found a spec sheet for them: [url="http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc107/Subsoniks/Fane10M.jpg"]http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc107/S...iks/Fane10M.jpg[/url]

How does £50 delivered for the pair sound to you? Interparcel.com should be able to do it via Interparcel Economy for around a tenner, tops.

Thanks!
James

I hate to spoil the party guys, but the Fane 10M is a midrange speaker. It is actually a superb driver and the Doc is selling them for a very good price, but it's no good for bass guitar unless you are going to use it just for midrange.

I'll give 'em a try anyway, as this cabinet is never used on its own anyway.

All done and paid, thanks Howard![/quote]

Saw these on Ebay, they might be worth a shot if your Fanes don't work out. Not sure how good they are though.
