DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
BMB180
Categories: 6-8 inch Bass / Midrange Speakers
Audio Electronics Ltd were a small English company that made various top quality bespoke bass speakers for Heybrook (Sextet), BMW cars, & the flagship JPW Ruby range.
These drivers feature a top quality diecast alloy chassis, loaded polypropylene cone, long throw suspension, butyl rubber surround, 34mm high temperature voice coil with kapton former & ventilated pole piece.
Highish Qms usually dictates an open midrange & that is definitely the case here; midrange is well controlled meaning simple 2nd order crossovers around 2.5 - 3khz are a viable option.
These sound beautiful in a transmission line enclosure with wonderfully solid bass & an open, revealing soundstage.
These units are incredibly rare & are the only ones left anywhere ~ plenty in stock, we hold the archive.
Can be used as a replacement for the (red) spun alloy coned BMR180 found in the flagship JPW Ruby 2 & 4.

Excellent customer service
Quick dispatch
Swapped out the 30 yr old AlCap capacitors for the Audyn Q4 on Wills recommendation (along with a ferrofluid change). What a difference, added so much more definition and clarity. Very impressed. Audyns are a fair bit bigger size wise but fitted easily enough on the board and the access aperture on the TDL Studio 1's.
Excellent driver and superb service and advice from Willy's hi-fi. Would certainly recommend and I will definitely be using again. Super fast delivery and great prices
They offer great advice genuinely helpful and knowledgeable.
Excellent service.
Very happy with this replacement part, especially once id fitted it correctly!! Sounds great so know where to go when the other one fails. 👍
Just as expected. Works perfectly as a subwoofer @400Hz in a mono bi-amped active internet radio set up in my study. Thanks!
Bought a pair of these to replace the failing drivers in my 20 year old Alesis M1 Active Mk2s. They are physically a near perfect match for the cabinets and are a good match electrically for the amplifier, but sound better than the original drivers. The only slight complication is the original drivers use one 2.8mm and one 4.8mm spade terminal, so you need to change one of the connectors. These have given my old monitors (now my 'kitchen speakers') a whole new lease of life. Next step is to replace the rubber surrounds with a grille.
There is a detailed review of these drivers over on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCb-rzCSK2s
Great service from Willys. They were dispatched straight away and arrived next day, very well packed.
