As I feared, Soundstream has disconnected all of its phone lines. The website was down for a couple of days, went back up yesterday, but it has not been maintained/updated. Local dealers have confidence that after the Consumer Electronics Show, they will be back in operations and will roll out the new product lines they have introduced previously.
I saw some of the SPL60G, 2 ohm component speakers at a couple of dealers yesterday. They have been unable to place any orders for 2-3 weeks now, and don't know really when Soundstream will resume operations, and whether these un-conventional 2 ohm speakers will be available. The list price is $279 for these 6 1/2" components, but I've seen them between $129 and $159 on net searches. If you want 2 ohm coaxials, the SPL65G are the model, and cost a bit less and are good for the rear doors. 94 dB, 120 watt.
Just be aware that if you were thinking of upgrading your Bose speakers, there is a distinct uncertainty of future availability on these drivers if you do not purchase from currently available stock now. If you are familiar with any other 2 ohm component satellite speakers in production, by any manufacturer, I'm insterested in hearing about it.
