Hi all,

I've got an opportunity to pick a pair of these speakers up for about $1500 AUD, stands included. To get an idea of how much speakers cost over here - basically add 80% to whatever you pay in the states.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about how these speakers, and what sort of speakers/price range you would compare against?
Details are here: http://www.zaphaudio.com/ZD5.html
Cost of parts is listed as $750 - link here: https://docs.google.com/a/student.monash.edu/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsY3eYiwrmSscEFFZENnWTAtd1V2SEFsXzFBVVdPWkE&hl=en#gid=0
From my understanding to get those parts over here is closer to $900.

I know that the builder is very experienced and from people who have heard them, reports are very good.

I'm going to go hear them tomorrow, but it would be nice to go armed with some knowledge/thoughts from others :) For reference I tried out speakers for the first time today - the Revel F12 ($2500) & Revel M12 ($1500 including stands) - and was very impressed (classical music).

Cheers

Hi All,

Quick update - I went and heard these and to my still relatively uneducated ear, they sounded very good. I have to make the call on these tomorrow - so any advice at all would be most gratefully received.

Many thanks
