Hm,
still, the optimal solution for now and the future, would be to find one or more commonly available equivalent speakers.
UK without official export, is a bit discouraging.
It should not be all too hard, to find and post possible alternatives. but would be far better to maintain this project.
The main points, why this project is so successful and gains so much attention, are:
It is very cheap.
The commercially available alternatives are wayyy overpriced (even the Behringer clones are...and, not surprisingly, they work for what the auratones are meant to be used - balance your mix by checking the mids only)
It is very useful nevertheless. In fact you may listen to it for a long time in future.
Therefore it is a *very* rewarding DIY project.
Not much, what can go wrong with it.
Kind of a must-have.
Therefore - wouldn't it be more useful to concentrate on searching for chassis alternatives (like DaveP himself did!) instead of organizing group buys?
I guess many of us around here would not hesitate to build a pair of these babies...
Not only today but also in future...
This one could be an evergreen groupdiy project, because it is also perfectly suitable for diy newbies.
Best regards,
Martin
