Fostex 206 EN(?) upgrade
I'm have an upgrade itch to scratch.
I own a set of BLHs based on the Kirishima on The Spawn Family of Double Horns (frugal-horn.com) . I was wonder if there was a drop-in driver available that I try that would be an upgrade over the current Fostex 206 EN (I believe them to be ENs) I currently have.
I'm very happy with the speakers although they do sometimes exhibit a "shout" at high frequencies which are most noticeable with female vocals, strings and piano. I never had this with vinyl but I have switched to streaming a while ago and suspect the digital to be a smidgen brighter and getting the better of the drivers.
thanks

pauly OP964 posts04-08-2021 9:21pmGot a pair of fe208e Sigma’s as per Johnk’s recommendation. Very very nice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am the WBer guy around here. Worlds BIGGEST mouth for wide band/full range/point source/high sens speaker in the UNIVERSE.; (My love for WBers equals my HATE for all low sens speakers)) anyway,,JUST NOW< about 10 minutes ago made the FOSTEX discovery while researching the old Coral FR speakers.. man o man. This site not only hates WB/FR they detest, despise, disgust at any thing WB/FR,,, rant over... I love my Davidlouis,,but i must say...I think the Fostex is going to blow away AER, Voxativ, Davidlouis, Tang Bang in every shootout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cZxo26D3WY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9yEIlWV2HI WBers rule, Smashes any xover low sens types up to $500G ;’s and beyond. Even will destroy Wilson;’s !M speakers. |
Something tells me, I have this gut feeling This Fostex 208EZ is going to present a real challenge to both the ' Tang band 2145 and DavidLouis VX8. This is one bad looking gun slinger. Sens is high at 94?, No make that 97db. ahhh this speaker will not work with my Defy's 100 watts,,, ahhh , hummm, hopefully the 845 i have my eye on is not the watts they clain at 22. IMHO best amps for these high sens WBers are 1 watts-4 watts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zblvN2dHV5M |
