I had a look. The smallest W7 driver costs 350 quid.


Whao baby! I've heard about UK prices, but this!


For reference, the prices for the W7 range at BBG are...

8 - 350
10 - 500
12 - 700
13 - 900

That's inches diameter and UK pounds. Since they're aimed at young blades
who like their mobile audio jewelry, I guess they can charge a premium. I'm
sure they're very good units, but I really don't think I need to spend that
kind of money to get an improvement over what I already have.


Check out car engines. To get twice the power, you have to spend a lot
more than twice the money! Why would other mechanical devices be
different? IOW, check out UK-made Volt drivers, then stop whining.
