History:
Purchase: Acquired thru Vidsonix on Ebay, brand new, $180 for the pair plus about $40 shipping.
What I Like About This Unit: I bought a couple small Nova12 cabinets made by Vidsonix and was very impressed, they seemed to be an almost identical copy of EV SX300's for about 20% of the price. I bought two brand new from the Vidsonix factory for about $200 plus $20 shipping. Integral pole mount socket and threaded mounting points. Comes with two "brackets" to adapt the speaker for floor monitor wedge use, very nice. 250 w RMS power handling.
What I Do NOT Like About The Vidsonix Nova X12:
Nova X12 Quality: They performed well, they had a nice crossover, everything seemed good. However the horn failed on one one day, I wrote the company and requested a replacement diaphragm under the warranty which was shipped promptly no questions asked.
When I cracked the case open I found that one of the 12v bulbs on the crossover which is used for HF protection was improperly soldered and caused the HF horn to stop working, but when this was corrected with a bit of solder the speaker worked fine. The other speaker also failed in this manner about a month later which leads me to believe this was a widespread factory defect.
Summary: If you don't mind fixing a factory defect like this, this cabinet seems like an amazing value.
