New moniker, new board. Good to see you here Wayne.
A brief intro on my choice of speakers - Klipsch heresy all around HT/music room, Heresy in office, 2PI in music/TV downstairs.
I used a couple of Fostex 168 sigma as mid woofers in my center channel upstairs (coupled with a Heresy Tweeter and Mid horn) that I made a couple of years ago. They are very nice, even when managed less than FR - the box is tuned to 50hz and these little jewels work very well from about 70hz (the bass is managed to the sub at 80hz) to the xover managed top end around 700 - 800hz. I couldn't be more pleased with the overall match of the center and two pairs of Heresy. The strength of the dialog and centering LFs are the Fostex - they are very pleasing. I would use them again (the 168 sigms T/S let it be a very good mid woof as well as backloaded horn)for something similar, and would be pleased to try other Fostex based on the way these continue to perform.
Good luck with the forum - I'll be watching often and every once and a while I'll be dispensing inarguable logic, invaluable wisdom and secret answers to the meaning of life. All this is done with false humility that is the result of an insufferably bloated ego. It is so much fun being me........
