Our Thoughts RADAR AI

The HM170Z18 is a respected 6.5-inch Audax Aerogel mid/bass driver, known for clean, articulate mids and a very “serious DIY/hi-fi” reputation rather than mass-market obscurity. At €400 for a used pair, the asking price looks ambitious versus the usual new-unit references around €116–€147 each; even allowing for age and rarity, used should normally land well below that unless the drivers are pristine, matched, and especially hard to find.

If the listing is for a complete, well-kept pair with original cones, intact phase plugs, and no voice-coil rub or surround issues, it can still appeal to someone building a quality classic speaker project. The upside here is pedigree: Audax’s aerogel units are valued for low coloration and strong midrange detail, so a clean set has real enthusiast appeal—but at this price I’d want clear photos, serials/matching, and confirmation that they’re fully tested before jumping in.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Audax

Audax is a French loudspeaker brand with roots that stretch back to 1947, when it was founded in France by Jean and Marcel Cagné. It built its reputation in the postwar European hi-fi era as a specialist in drive units rather than as a maker of complete systems, and that heritage still defines the name today.

The brand is best known for loudspeaker drivers, woofers, midrange units, and tweeters, plus OEM components and some finished speaker products under related names. It is not primarily associated with amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables; Audax’s identity has long been tied to speaker engineering and transducer supply.

In the market, Audax sits more in the specialist, technically minded, vintage-respected category than in the glossy consumer-audio mainstream. Collectors and DIY speaker builders often know the name well, and many hi-fi buyers recognize Audax for classic French driver design and its influence on European loudspeaker construction. It is not generally positioned as a luxury high-end electronics brand, but rather as a niche heritage loudspeaker maker with enduring credibility among enthusiasts.
