    WTF! First, it's JBL recones, now you can even get a plumber through GPA. Everybody's got a price , but Uncle Willy's is pretty low ! (He's got to make a living ? What next ? hemorrhoid cream ?)

    Re: GPA Products price increases

    I was browsing flea pay and happened to see the price on the GPA 604. Ouch. Last I checked, it was going for $950. That's a whopper of a jump in price.

    I hope that we can still send Bill vintage stuff for reconing, magnetizing, etc....

    Has anyone checked the pricing on the servicing of old kit?

    I'm a big fan of Bill, but, I wont pay "Japanese" prices on this stuff. It just brings too many alternatives into the picture.

    If the increase in diaphragm prices on flea pay are a guide, expect servicing with labour to almost double. Dias for 1" went from $90 to $140.

    Radian 1228's in 8ohm are 91 bucks at parts express, you'll have to inquire about 16 ohm, they should be the same price, if not get them from Radian direct.

    Don't knock 'em if you ain't heard 'em.

    Re: GPA Products price increases

    has anyone thought of calling bill and asking? the recones i asked about were pretty much the same price. as far as the 414s he said he's trying to get the price closer to reasonable. he also mentioned something about a "restructuring". i'm not sure what he meant. if you really want to find out anything try calling.

    Maybe the 'restructure' will introduce timely responses to Emails.
    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.

    You do realize that could remove Bill from the equation? It almost sounds like Some of you feel that Bill/GPA is only here to serve your personal whims. Some of you guys just don't get it

    Re: GPA Products price increases

    It will probably do just that.

    Pricing yourself out of the market is never a good idea.

    I've sent quite a bit of gear via GPA, as have many of us. I hope to continue to do so.

    I don't live where I can just call GPA and have a chat. Getting an email response is important, and one way of generating business.

    I also have to factor in significant freight costs, and now sadly I can't afford GPA, as much as I really would like to and have been saving towards 604-8H III.
