Hales Transcendence 8


I am considering purchasing a used pair of these speakers. With Hales out of business, there's obviously some risk involved. Does anyone know the status of any stock of spare drivers? If something goes wrong, can any of the drivers be replaced? I have the impression that the tweeter and mid are off-the-shelf and available, but that the woofers aren't.

Also, any overall comments on sound, drive-ability, appearance or anything else relevant? I've heard nothing but raves but heard the speakeres only briefly years ago.

Many thanks

I'm currently upgrading from T5's to T8's and am encouraged by the fact that these speakers are rarely offered on the used market...a testimony to their intrinsic musical value. Mine will come with a spare driver, and I'll be looking for more spares....just in case.

There is another previous Hales thread where the parts, if I remember correctly, are more completely listed.

Maybe we shoud start a "Hales Owners Club"...very informal, of course?
