Interesting. Any dealers have these?

I did receive a reply from Hemp Acoustics just recently. It was mentioned that their speakers have cast frames instead stamped and that they are assembled in North America. I might try a pair out sometime. The marijuana leaves on the website are almost too much, though. Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_09

I've heard some of Hemp's stuff... that 4.5" FR is absolutely spectacular. Kick anything out there in the pricerange.

The 6 and 8 shouldn't exist outside a guitar cab, IMO Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_08

The marijuana leaves on the website are almost too much, though.

They're a Canadian company - them leaves are a badge of honor, eh? Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_01

Some care in where you go and what you buy might be in order! I know nothing other than what the posts say!

It's to bad if a good sounding design does have issues unrelated to its actual performance!!

Calm down!!

Oh well, ordering from a distributor seems safe enough:

Unfortunately, no 4.5" is available and the 6.5" is $25 more than the MSRP Perry mentioned in his email. So I guess I'll stick to Fostex for now.

They look legitimate enough, but I'd still make double-sure that the speakers are in stock and available for immediate shipment, and not simply "backordered" until Percy Pecker-head gets "released" once again... Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_21

I ordered 2 pairs of the previous version of the FR-8 (before the matrix cone) from e-speakers.com about 18 months ago. I think this is the same 8" fullrange that is currently sold by A Brown Soun here:

At the time they were out of stock, but were having a 20% off moving sale so I ordered anyway. It took them about 4 months to get them restocked, and the price had gone up during that time, but they honored the original lower price and the 20% discount. They did not charge my credit card until the order shipped.
