Crossing the woofer so high is not really a fair comparison. The compression drivers needed to be in a bigger horn, and possibly be replaced with a driver that does 100Hz for certain. ...

Hello everyone:Fane Acoustics has agreed to produce a limited run of the now discontinued Fane 8M Studio drivers if a minimum order of 50 units can be filled. I am looking for firm expressions of interest for at least 22 pairs of drivers. If you are ...

Gentleman.... I have available 2, NOS Fane 8M speakers. They have never been used and are still in their original packaging materials. I obtained these some years ago for a project which I did not pursue and would be interested in selling them. ...

I wanted to answer some questions posed by interested parties. These speakers are 8 ohm and were both manufactured on the same date in 1998.
Though I am not a regular visitor here on the Good Sound Club I am a routine contributor on the Klipsch...

Jorge, if you have 120hz horn with a 4" throat and 10" driver then Fane 8M would be a good candidate in my view. If I were you then I would try. The SG146LG is you had would be very interesting to try as well. Not to try it stupidly as most of Go...

[quote user="Jorge"]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....

I built a prototype of a Avantgarde Trio in newspaper and tape, with the Beyma CP380/M, Community M200, and the Fane S 8M, and I also used a Behringer CX3400 and a 45 tube amp. CX3400 is soon replaced by digital active XO.Paper may have made the midb...

I am with great pleasure observe the craziness that “rakeshpoorun” created around the buy of a Fane’s new production run of Studio 8M drivers. Sure, he created commendable activity. I am sure his definition of Audio implies 6 moths of administra...

[quote user="oxric"]Romy's comments, not coming from someone who has insider knowledge as to the manufacturing of these drivers, must be taken with a healthy pinch of salt. Why he seems so opposed to these drivers which are not even that expensiv...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Do I understand correctly: AG used Fane 8Ms in the Trios upper bass horn?[/quote] Oh, no! AG in Trio’s upperbass horn used similar 8” driver with 103 sensitivity. That driver was bad and it made me to look for a replacemen...

The old Fane had no money to comeback, apparently someone took them over, I wonder who. The new Fane drivers? I know nothing about them. I did not know the old Fane drivers. I have only 24” woofers, 5M and 8M. The CRESCENDO series was available with ...

Anyhow, it is interesting how the new 25 users that get those Studio 8M will use them. I wish something “new” would derive from all of it…[/quote]Speaking only for myself, I am planning to use the Fane 8M in a pair of 11...

I have uneasy feeling that you did , haven't seen any other fane 8M for sale in months anywhere . ...

For 140Hz, tractrix, with a 4 inch throat the Fane 8M shall be a good driver. They quite friquntly pop up at German eBay, and UK pro shops have them - at least it is use to be so. If you have one and if you like it then you will fish another one – th...

OK, I think I need to help to poor Rakesh to sell his Fanes. If he do not find his 50 buyers then he will be suffer from need to buy all of them as the ugly Fane people will not give him a break, selling o him as many drivers as he has managed t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I wonder: does it mean that you will take the rest 28 drivers? Hm, are you trying to research the subject of the drivers’ critical mass or become a speaker maker? Be careful with their claims that they will be “manufactured...

Jorge,I would hope that the specifications of the Fane 8M drivers would not depart from the specifications of the old 8Ms that you have helpfully attached here. I just sent the pdf file to your email directly, not having seen that you had posted it h...

[quote user="ulf"] Well, it was not really a surprise to us that the horn without the phase plug was dissapointing. Without the plug we had a horn that was a bit too short, had too large front cavity and less compression than we desired. [/quote]
