    Is Great Plains Audio Still in Business?

    Hi, I called Bill Hanuschak (sp?) at GPA a few months ago and got some very useful info about 902 drivers. As i recall I either got right through or left a phone message and heard back same day.

    I've called a few times in the last several days, and have left a few messages, and heard nothing back.

    Any info out there?
    Thanks,

    If the website is still standing - http://www.greatplainsaudio.com/
    and the phone rings and is not disconnected,
    my guess is Bill is still in business.

    Maybe he is traveling and not immediately available?

    Hi there,

    I can confirm you that Great Plains Audio and Bill Hanushak, its owner, were still in business a few weeks ago. I ordered them and received a pair of GPA 416-8B for a personnal project. I must admit that communication was more difficult than the first time I bought from them about two years ago.

    This said, many contacts in Europe who tried to contact Bill in the last year had many difficulties. Plus, I'm not aware of anyone who receive any product from GPA nor it's eBay website who contains almost nothing, which was not the case few years ago.

    Bill has still answer the phone this Spring when I called. He also used its email:

    [email protected]


    Good luck to reach him,

    Sébastien

    Smile 813c horn

    Hello everyone:

    Has anyone on here ever managed to remove the blue plastic horn on the Urei at all?
    I need to do a re alignment of one of the horn.
    is it interference fit? and glued?

    Greetings.

    The horn is attached with screws, as with all the 604 horns. Not glued. But the inner surround is glued to it. Puzzling why you would need to realign it. Perhaps it was hit by something and broken? To address the problem would require the speaker cone to be torn out. In other words, a re-cone.

    Take it up with Bill Hanuschak at Great Plains Audio in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

    Good luck,

    The UREI horn was glued to the throat transition. The transition is held in place with two screws.

    OK but first, maybe see if anyone else is having the same problem? Home page comes up but if I click on any other pages I get this:

    !

    File not found (404 error)


    If you think what you're looking for should be here, please contact the site owner.
