Why hasn't America discovered the Fertin sound yet

Ushlues the year was 1924 not 1923. I gues what make this sound special would be the combination of an open-baffle with a full-range fieldcoil driver. Thanks metralla , a friend just send me the same thread and I will experiment with this type of open-baffle. It's easy to make and you're supposed to get deeper bass and a wider soundstage. I have them in a Phy-hp type of baffle (5feet by 5). I'm suppose to get another pair that I will use in a close cabinet (the one they sell for 9500euros). This would be good to compare but once you've listen to an o-b it's hard to listen to a close box and you keep searching for the sound characteristics that you're use to listen in your o-b (openess-minute details in the sound -very dynamic - coherent-realism and the voices..). It's a very addictive sound,without any fatigue.I'm really gladto have found these. Now the only thing left is to upgrade my components(I'll be searching , here, on Audiogon for a decent cd player and a good tube amp). I saw that there is another thread that has the same subject with the visaton driver. It's really something that Audiogoners should be looking into. I'm really an happy cat.

Just to anwer your questions Audiokinesis. The price of the Fertin 20EX vary from 764to927 euros each. So you must ad to this transportation, state taxes and duties. So it could be close to 3000.00us. As being a customer or not is not important. In this audio world , the important thing is to exchange information and feeling about our passion. My be I found my tube amp . The RM-245 , I think would be a good start. Thanks for helping me and keep enjoying music as much as I do.

I am sorry for my response L.,In hindsight I see no humor,just sarcasism which is uncalled for here.Good luck,Bob

There is a some discussion regarding these drivers on DIYForum:

Usblues,there's no hard feelings on my part.But I understand poeple being on their guard about people pushing their products on Audiogon thread. I would't appreciate it also. Before posting this, I had been in contact with Audiogon and I have asked them for the possibility of posting an ad . The answer was that they are thinking of something that would suit my needs, but only in a few weeks. Fertin, what I know of it is a 2or3 persons operation and I'm alone with limited means,so really it's not a matter of making money buy just let the people know that there's a great driver(I think) and they may try it and then we could exchange ideas about the special sound it has. I surely don't want to hurt anybodies feeling here . Go and enjoy music, the best peace maker in the world.
