Today we've just released details of our new B44 Version 2 bookshelf speakers and we're having a pre-order sale of $20 off for a limited time. We thought we'd give OzBargain an extra $5 off this price you need to enter the coupon code listed above to get the extra $5 off. There's very little profit at this price and it will be the cheapest you will see them. for a very long time.
V2 of our B44s is a significant improvement on V1. With a larger 1" tweeter, improved woofer low end response and an all new third order crossover. A prominent audio gear reviewer on whirlpool has reviewed the prototype recently here: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2597987
Remember we have a money back guarantee - just pay $10 return shipping and we'll refund the rest no questions asked.
This is a pre-order item and being manufactured right now. End of May is a conservative estimate for delivery but of course we can't be completely sure we will be able to begin shipping by then. We are always happy to refund anyone who asks.
We will be announcing an active version (the Voll A44) of the B44 V2 in the next month or so but delivery of that wont be until July at the earliest. The A44's will sell for around $170. We personally prefer passive speakers as they give you choice of amplifier and are also not putting all your eggs in one basket if something goes wrong many years after warranty.
The much awaited Voll subwoofer will also be available in July for around $120.
Happy to report that my old Sony receiver that is ostensibly rated for 100w at 8ohm through 2ch (though it would be lucky to be actually pushing 40w/ch, lol), comfortably runs these at moderately high volumes.
Now contemplating whether to grab a Bluetooth amp to use the spare ones in the kitchen…
