Made In China?  YES! Kasi si David Dicks is wise to get the production in China.  Materials are all high quality.  Almost all manufacturing of U.S.and Europe are already in China.  Cheap labor high quality.

The sound of Audio Nirvana speakers  in "proper speaker enclosure" can rival famous high end speakers in the market. It doesn't sound cheap esp.after 200 hours breaking in period.  The reason why snobol and me got Standard 8 and keep it for good.  The longer these speakers are player the better they perform.  The speakers is also not choosy in amp.  But performs at its best, if paired with better amps and DAC. :)

To hear is to believe. :o

Ok I found it. Nelson Pass bought a pair of it Super 8 Steel Frame.  http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/full-range/200516-audio-nirvana-super-8-a.html I would suggest to use the 2.8 mk2 box for this super 8 and be patient in breaking it in.  Also use, a gauge 12 hi quality copper wire inside it.  Never use silver wire on fullrange to avoid weak bass.  The super 8 models has good hf extension and very detailed mid.  But at first 100 hours, this will sound like fatiguing.  It's normal.

Si soundgarden nag break in using 1 inch thick marine ply yata...OB.  So, walang problema.  Mag OB ka muna.  Para di masipa iyong speakers...

Walang anu man ikaw pa.  Btw, nakabili ka na ba o bibili pa lang? Bilib ako dito kay DTS..bigla bigla n lang nagbenta ng AN. Kung alam ko lang. Nag pa order ako at naghanda ng pera para sa 6.5 na ilalagay ko sa kotse. Pero itong AN super 8 pag may natira talgang kukunin ko, if it's really meant for me. Ganda sa kotse nito. Safe ang 8 ohms sa kotse esp.if driven by just a head unit.

The simplest way of doing the open baffles for your AN super 8 and super 12. With side adjustment. ;D

Kaya mong matapos yan in one day. Kung may maganda kang corner area sa house mo may gapang ang Bass nyan. Hindi ka pa gagastos ng malaki for the enclosure while breaking in. Right now im happy with open baffles.

Ganda naman ng speaker wire mo bro.  Ang laki talaga ng magnet ng Audio Nirvana nu, parang pang subz. Btw, 50watts (60w pwede na din) amp lang tayo sa AN para sigurado safe ang speakers natin.

Kamusta 1st 3 hours? Yung totoo lang ha.. ;D

Kamusta 1st 3 hours? Yung totoo lang ha.. ;D

taga rizal ako bro, angono...1st 14.5hrs, nakakabit lang dun sa marantz sr7000i, after making the temporary cabinet, sinalpak ko dun sa brys, lutang na agad ung mids and hi nya. (nasa 7oclock lang  :))...since nakaopen, i did not expect much of the Low Freq...besides the woofer needs to soften up.. ganda nya magvocal....now, more than 30hrs of playing, paganda ng paganda pa lalo. will gradually increase the volume after 50hrs, then at 100 and 150hrs...what more pag nakalagay na sa cab... ::) ::)

tinabas ko yung big speaker cabinet, and cut it into 2....(supposed to be ung jbl 4321, kaso may nagkainteres pa...  :D :D :D)

now, eto na sya ngayon temporarily

Are you selling this?  This is a good amp. 



Ideal for fullrange and also a good amp to modify or upgrade if needed.
