I have seen Beyma rewrite their specs when they redo a driver and even add a letter to the driver for that change,  even if it is the same driver.
Now I have seen variable FS responses form different drivers of the same model also.

If I get the Studio 8M drivers they will most probaly go in my unused drivers closet,  trust me I will have a hard time finding room in it for them...
I was just curious to see if they already have the specs for the new run.


Hi Jorge,

It's good you are thinking of the comparative performance of the Fane 8Ms and the Goto SG146LG. I am even impressed that on paper it appears that the Goto might POSSIBLY be superior.

With regard to your query and another regarding the impedance of the new production run drivers, I have contacted Fane and received the following email regarding the specs of the Fane 8M. I quote in full:


"Dear Rakesh,
 
Good Afternoon, thank you for your earlier telephone call
 
I have spoken with Susan in production and we can only manufacture the STU.8M in 8ohms. We have however managed to find an old specification sheet for the STU.8M, please find this in the attached file
 
As soon as you are ready to place your order please do not hesitate to contact me
 
Best Regards
 
Daniel Barnes"

Unfortunately I cannot upload the pdf of the Fane 8M specifications in English as you did for the one in German. It is however in all respects identical to the one in German you posted above. I will send it to you by email and maybe you might do me a favour, and upload it here?

As to whether the new production units will correspond to the measurements of the old units, I can only say that based on everything I have heard so far from Fane International, the drivers will be the same apart from the rubber tyre trim on the magnet. Please let me know if you decide to place an order.

Best regards
Rakesh
