FYI to anyone looking at this, the A4L one is a refurb. Still seems like a smoking deal.

Grrr,
some people on this planet are gifted
Looks sold out but there is an alternative on sale as well:
https://www.harmanaudio.com/STUDIO28IW.html
Not on sale but looks pretty good for a ceiling application:

I was able to pick up 4 of them, so I'll see how they look/sound. They were cheap enough that I figured it was worth a flyer. The ones you referenced look good... The adjustable tweeter might be useful.
I simulated up to 6 units and the reduction was applied as @sweetchaos indicated.
But ...I'm not living in states
, so I gave up.I already had a bitter experience buying cheap Etymotic's in the Us sent by a friend, hence +postage+clearance aso and took a month untill I had those .
So I'll stick to buy in EU.

Dayton Audio SUB-1200
12" Subwoofer
$134.95 on Parts Express with promo code PREFR1. (YMMV.)
These have gone for $99 in the past, but it looks like not for quite a while (5+ years ago).

For a large heavy item like a sub, increases in shipping costs could easily be a significant factor on that.

Parts Express is having a flash sale for the Dayton Reference 10" subwoofer driver at $99. Can't recall it ever going that low

JBL has the Studio 570 floor standers for $198 each. These use the 5 1/4 woofers.
Audio Interface (for US buyers):
Motu M4
Was unavailable for over a month, but it's back in stock at sweetwater now, at regular price of US$219.
Amazon.com is overpriced by US$80.
Bhphotovideo and guitarcenter is still backordered.

That's a tempting deal but I have never liked the design of this model. First of all it is less than 3ft tall, so it's hardly a floorstanding speaker. Secondly it only has a 2 way crossover unlike the 2.5 way 590 model. This means there will be comb filtering in the midrange due to both woofers playing in that region.
Well, it's intended to stand on the bare floor and not on stands, so that's still a (smaller) floor-standing speaker.
What is the minimum acceptable size for a floor stander ?
@hardisj
Please consider testing this. It is the most recommended <$200 12” sub after the BIC F12.
That said, 2010 measurements do already exist for it.
EDIT: Actually, maybe due to Covid, the F12 which used to hover around $175 is now $210.
I’d be happy to. Need the funds to buy it, though. Unless someone has one they’d be willing to loan for testing.
I’d chip in $25.

Drives me nuts that Drop prompts you to sign in to get details about an item, but if you Google that same item and navigate to the page that way, it shows you the details without signing in.
Looks like a great DAC/headphone amp deal if you are in the EU. Creative Sound BlasterX G6 for 90 euros + shipping

I don't know anything about the site, so maybe someone else can comment on that.
