Has anybody bought any of the 830667s yet? The site says they still have 81 in stock. How can they have so many of the same driver as Open Box merchandise?
I wonder if a big shipment came in with significantly damaged boxes? Because they do still have some at normal price, so it doesn't seem like just a Peerless clearance.
I have internet phone and cells, but not VOIP. Apparently they are different interfaces. Best decision I made to cut off AT&T. My ISP handles my 'land' phone now, and I get coast to coast calling without upcharge. There are times when a land phone is required, and it has a battery backup.
Can you use your cell in a power outage after the battery dies? Nope. A landline or battery backup internet phone will work in a power outage. I call it being prepared.
LOL PE. Ordered a pair of those new HiVi dome mids, and three hours later ordered a pair of the DSA 8". 8" showed up today, mids show Friday arrival. What the hell USPS. What the hell PE.
Speaking of deals, something in the works around these parts...
I have a couple battery packs for our cellphones, I don't worry too much. Gives me at least as much time as a backup internet phone in an outage. I also have a little solar powered doohickey that will charge a couple devices. My Sorento also has wireless and USB charging ports, and worst case we just say screw it and go to the bar.
My wife and I both have cell phones but I also have a VOIP home phone system I installed several years ago. Why both phone systems you ask?
I've had the same home phone number for 20+ years and every business/ company that I need to register on gets my home number. The service costs me $155 a year. I have complete flexibility to block, forward and transfer calls plus a whole lot more that I don't use.
I do have my cell phone on during the day but it gets turned off and plugged in every evening. Sound quality is better on the home system and I don't need to spend a grand every couple years to get a new phone.
Some day I may dump the home phone but it'll be a pain to switch contact numbers on all the business and websites that have my home number. I'll stay new old school for the foreseeable future.
I've had my land number for 20 years now too, and yes, I don't typically give out the cell number either. However, the phone service is now bundled with my internet for $89/month total. That is cheaper than the AT&T former 120/month and 30/month internet before I switched. The internet was going up to 80/month alone, and still required the land phone to do it without better or faster service. So, I switched and cut my bill in half as it were. Then the wife forced the smart phone upgrades, and lost $60/month of that savings. At least I'm still spending less over all than I would have been.

Or did they buy these from a manufacturer that bought in bulk?
Looks like a lot of Tang Band on sale at PE.

I always wanted to try a few of these.

There is a work light among the Valentine's Day sale items at PE. Good opportunity for you, Craig!

^ those https://www.parts-express.com/Tang-Band-W23-1287SI-2x3-Driver-4-Ohm-264-830?quantity=1
have been interesting to me as well for a compact 3-way w/ all-truncated drivers . . . or maybe like Wolf's studio 3-ways.
And I only need to order 5 and I get free shipping
Group buy! Who's in? Come on guys! Don't leave me and Craig hanging!
Does seem like a nifty little driver
PE site is down. The Dayton Audio site is working and loads MUCH faster than PE ever has.
I better get in on that since I brought it up and I'm getting pretty old (night vision isn't as good as it used to be).

Scott, you'll have to call them on your Land Line to order since the site still isn't working.
I know how such things work

I haven't had a landline since 2007! People still have those?
My wife grew up with a party line.
My Gramma Healy still had a party line when I was a kid. We used to pick up the phone to see if we could overhear juicy conversations lol.
I like those too. I did a project with the W2-1803s and thought the rising FR helped with the off axis performance full range.

The 1803S worked well Omni too since that rolls it off faster.

Required for what?

I've never forgotten all of my 69's (*69).

My 90V snow blower battery has USB ports so I should be good for about a month.
