DC200-8

NEW PRODUCT - IN UK STOCK NOW.
The Dayton Audio DC200-8 is an 8" 8 ohm woofer designed as a general replacement for traditional bookshelf and stand mount 2 way (with paper cone tweeter) or 3 way loudspeakers that feature a pulp or paper cone woofer as were popular in countless vintage designs from the 1970s / 80s. This is a nice warm sounding unit with good bass that works very well in many old designs and represents great value for money. An excellent cost effective way of saving old speakers from going to landfill !
The Dayton Classic Series all offer an excellent price / performance ratio and are available in 5¼", 6½", 8", 10", 12" and 15" chassis sizes.

Willy’s Hifi provided a superb customer experience. Excellent communication, fast dispatch and perfect product. I mistakenly opted for 48 hour tracked delivery when I needed my purchase the next day. Willys rectified my error at no additional expense which was very kind. Would definitely use again. Highest recommendation.
Thanks for the review Andrew - come back anytime !

I’ve been building my own home cinema as a complete DIY project and reached the stage where I needed some decent acoustic foam for my speaker panels (also DIY!) so I picked up 3 large sheets from here. They were sent quickly, packed well and moreover, are of excellent quality. With them being folded into the shipping box they were slightly creased but after leaving them out overnight on a flat surface, the creases fell out completely. They’re now in place and doing their job brilliantly. Cheers Willys Hifi!
The crossover was constructed well, I just need to figure out the best way to attach it to my Kef Concertos as they are bigger than the ones supplied by Kef that are mounted on the front of the baffle board.
Very nice deep bass look amazing with my custom made speaker
Great speedy delivery and very easy to fit. The plastic in my drivers had perished and they had suffered one too many parties! No need to make any adjustments (someone above did suggest that). I just screwed them in and the foam compressed into place. Before and after below (before I changed speaker number 2). Thank you!
Thanks you very much for the kit. I found back my kelidh after nearly 27 years. The filter were really dead and one tweeter damaged. Very happy to decide to repair/ upgrade rather than change. I found back tone and stereo stage like in the old days probably even better.
I didn't know soldering material was so important thanks for providing some.
Quite easy to recap filter and change tweeters.
Also wanted to thank you for this little note hand writen in French just for me. Very nice attention to see.
Next step is the next question do I change first the drivers with the monacor as I ve lost dust caps but they still work properly or do I change my old arcam alpha 8. Is there really something to gain moving to an newer arcam sa10 or Radia a5? Are newer amplifier much better than the old days one?
