:thmbsup: Too bad our government doesn't know of better ways to work with efficiency, instead of grabbing whatever money they can where eventually it all goes into some huckster's pocket...

It was exactly four years ago that Mr. Widget and I first discovered the capabilities of the el-cheapo JBL waveguide here:

Special thanks to Giskard for hangin' in with me for the duration...

Bravo Zilch

What does the JBL waveguide sale for?

Edit
I’ve looked at Google product search with results such as this, this is the UK version
http://www.google.co.uk/products?q=jbl+waveguide+horns&hl=en (http://www.google.co.uk/products?q=jbl+waveguide+horns&hl=en)

I can find bugger all on compression drivers and horns?

Alright Zilch! And to think I knew him only as that funny guy I would order my grill cloth from.......

So now the question that has to be asked is so what are you going to do next? :D

I don't think they list it as a consumer item but for those of us in the know, they are easy to get. They are 10's of dollars.:D

$9.90 apiece in the US, so not quite two tens/pair.

[Plus shipping.... ;) ]

As one who has designed and built my own PCB Crossovers, I like your custom designed boards too. Nice advertising......:D

I'm still more than happy with the HT system Zipper designed for me!

Basically there cheap as biscuits, right. But I don’t know where to start calling I’m interested in three of them.

I guess conversion to UK to US isn’t all that much.

Well if you know where then pm the list of international supplies unless its hush, hush top secret.:D

Also I couldn’t find the correct model on the internet? So those waveguide will respond to 800Hz or lower with near flat response. What’s the sensitivity of the compression driver and handling power?
