  Hi Ken,

  Just curious what company you used and how much it cost to get these horns shipped?

  Anyone interested in a group order to save shipping cost? I'm in Canada. Martin quoted ~US330/pair plus Shipping.

  Thanks,
  Jeff

    about 250.00 US to Charleston, SC

    I believe this included additional charges due to a mixup in port of entry. There was a high hassle factor when they arrived in port, involving customs, overnight fedex's, for additional shipping, etc. The full brunt of the hassle was handled by Jim Dowdy for which we will be eternally grateful.

    Irregardless of that, If I were you, I would jump on it. It wouldn't surprise me if these things reach cult status. I have made some very enthusiastic posts. I have restrained myself to understatement even though it may not seem that way. They're that good.

    These horns are not in regular production. I know there weren't many made and I was unaware that he had any left. Martin is an audio enthusiast that has done us all a favor by selling to us at such a low price. He is not making any money at this price. I believe the horns would be a bargain if your additional charges ran $500 US more.

    They are well worth the money and potential hassle. You may well not have the hassle or YMMV

    JMHO.

      Thanks Ken, actually your posts about the Azura was the final push I needed. I was aware of this horn last year looking at Dave Slagle's system but did not find much comment about it. After I'm done building my Labhorn I'll have a 4 way horn loaded top to bottom. But with the Azura I might be able to simplify it to 2WAY, just the Labhorn and Martin's horn.

      Yes, for sure they're a bargain compared to what other horns sell for. Now I just I have to find someone closer to the Port to do a group order with since I'm 12 drive hours away from the closest port.

      Regards,
      Jeff

        Agreed on the two way.

        BTW there is a thread in high efficiency speaker asylum that indicates 100 hz to 10k with the same amp/speaker has a lot of things going for it.

        I was already thinking it but the thread helps clarify it as a goal.

        There are a lot of opinions in that thread. Azurahorns fit right in with what Gordon Rankin and some others commented.

        Why don't you contact a shipping broker and see how bad it would be for you to do it by yourself? Might not be that bad. I doubt it is the sort of business they are looking for ( too small), but they might give you some good input.

        Later
