I think it is absolutely not need to discuss how Fostex tweeter sounds as it might sound like anything. Type of crossovering, type of amplification, type of electricity, type of loading, type of time alignment and the precision of time alignment migh...

Fostex T 500A MK 2 Horn Super TweeterArticle By Bill Gaw at www.enjoythemusic.com
As most of you know by now, I'm a horny type of guy. While my wife may dispute this, my audio system (actually my second partner) would have to agree as all seven spea...

I'd like to point out that Fostex 500 MKII is very much not sharp and artificial sounding. If anything it's an opposite -little too syrupy , soft and round so it blends with cone mid better than beryllium tweeter. I have no first hand experience with...

My favorite were the Classic Audio speakers. I know they have many faults, but the Fostex 500II tweeter was singing nicely. ...

[quote user="gordan"]I didn't explain the context of S3 use in my future system. I'm awaiting for a delivery of Beyma TPL-150 which will be tested for upper mid channel, under either Raal Lazy or Fostex T825 tweeters. [/quote]I am not sure that I agr...

It was yesterday around 4 PM – I viciously took it off and decided never use it again. I was listening Brahms German Requiem with James Levine and BSO – a phenomenal performances in my view and one moment after being offended by each note the F...

I am glad that you mention your use of 120A. I never heard it (consciously) and I bought it juts due to advice of 3 people, one of them was the guy who sold them. I have no idea what to expect from them but I think they shall not be too bad. I asked ...

[quote user="martinshorn"]The bass horn for the ak151 is housing a rear chamber slightly open, giving the injector channel - that creates a lot charme, flavor and „heart“ but also 3 dimensional projection. [/quote]I need to say that that very muc...

BOX STUFFING"It is very light and has hair from one side." and "glue the box with 3-5cm of high-density foam".- Do you use both a high-density foam and the light and hairy material on top of that, or are they the same?- Do you mean to glue on 3-5cm t...

hi Woitek. The K33 extend the bottom end by the high Q, to almost 40 cycles . Which is only ok if you work with passive XO on a single amp. Well that's how they were designed. Having designated amps that allow you to steer the parameter or even bett...

Paul, Points well taken. The F120A is listed as a FR driver. In my humble view, it does quite well for it's size, albeit the last two octaves will not be in full force (okay, the last octave is mostly MIA). It's lower sensitivity does not ...

Romy, I picked up a pair of FX120 and F120A drivers over two years ago. I initially spent some time with the FX120 in a small 10-liter ported enclosure (similar to Fostex' recommended one but altered dimensions). After many months of liste...

Sorry Robert, Your opening line on "Good luck getting midrange from F120A for non annoying monitors." tended to set the mood for the rest of your post in a negative light for Fostex drivers, the F120A included (at least for me it did)...

I am quite fascinated with the result that I might get from MiniME and at the same time I am defensive with the direction it takes. Anyhow, here is how it stands…
The decision to go for MF driver was I think right one. Even the 70-20RX tweeter has s...

Mark,
It is hard to say. I owned T90A sometimes in 2001-2002. At that time I was going through the drivers like crazy and T90A was just one of them. Looking from now I do not think that I gave to many drivers a chance as I did not “work” them trying...

[quote user="mark"] this will start to go down next month if john sends his bidat when i return to canada next week.so you see i am on an interesting parrallel path perhaps. [/quote]
Taking about the parallel paths… My Bidat in Canada as well and I ...

"would it mean that your use the same type SS receiver for MF channels as well?"-Da! I'll do better. :-)I think my Fostex MF horns ought to be below 100dB sensitive though."The Fane8M driver are highly inductive load, still you should not have proble...

I had a look at the website and the AU stands for gold (from the periodic table) not Australia. Plus the prices are in pounds not dollars. Interesting turning them in walnut though and I agree totally about the "horns underwear" and industrial thre...

Yep KIS. I dont use tweeters at all...just run a pair of Fostex 4" per channel in a sealed box from 250 Hz to where they will go. There is a little upward tilt which Romy rightly complains about to all the gods that wil...

Last week I listened to some small back loaded speakers using Fostex drivers where the cabinets had deliberately been made to replicate some of the qualities of a double bass or cello. Apparently very thin cabinet walls etc.While I have some reservat...

[quote user="Ronnie"]I wish I could pin-point the frequencies and explain the effect better. I'll do my best.I want to cover my ears when a Pavarotti sings certain higher notes or some notes when Caballet sings pretty "comfortably".It's like bad PA h...

Congratulations first for your success with your bass horns, Romy, but have you given away the best position for the lowest channel? Is the wall to the attic where in fact two large IB woofers like the Fostex FW800 or the 24" Hartley-Luth should sit?...

Some correction to above info by Louis.Vertical height of system once complete (in this room) will be around 1.8m. That is 115Hz (98cm) + 400Hz(29cm) + Fostex (10cm) + 250Hz (44cm) + some spacing=1.81mFrame height will be also significantly less than...

For sure it is an interesting design. I do not know how they dealt Fostex compression and why they need to customize the tweeters that were made for them "by hands in Toking one by one". Would it be easier to induce the customization into the custom ...

They showed this speaker at the Munich High End Show last year. They did not talk about the tweeter crossover frequency. The yellow cone Fostex driver is used from the low frequency limit (they claim 32 Hz) to 250 Hz. The back loaded horn is 3.3 mete...

Still, with stepping away from my position that any so called “full-range” driver shell, be $200-$300 easy came easy go solution, like Fostex for instance , I would like to note the not the price itself or topology is something that alert me in...

Stitch: That was all too close to the truth. Why do these people spend thousands of $$$ on huge turntables and dedicated CD transports while at the same time trying to force meaningful sound out of a single Fostex or Lowther or other ricepaper driver...

Though he seems to like running several TTs in parallel, I do not interpret Pham's page to show that he is running more than just one horn system; what I see is an evolution of a system. It looks like, in its latest iteration (under the heading "Syst...

Is this type of driver not similar to those used in headphone?. Very high efficiency, wide bandwidth, very low XMAX. The lightest and fastest are probably the orthodynamic type like FOSTEX RP, HiFiMAN or Audeze LCD2....
