Just got 24 more of these little horrors. 87 cents! The ones I put in the pine box? When I put a second one opposite the first as dipoles (bi-poles?)they started sounding pretty good. Jeff FEith put 8 in a box for surrounds. I'm thinking 12 in a line array, or maybe just 12 pair of dipoles (bi-poles?)
How about you?

The price is right!

You gonna build an array with 'em? A Bessel Array or a Line Array?

I think I'd probably check out the Bessel Array - It's easy to do and should work pretty well. If you do, please post about it on the Array Speakers forum. I'd be interested to see pics and hear your impressions.

My idea was to build 6 pairs of dipoles. But I looked at arrays and read that Bessel are far, far, far field things. Don't know what a Bessell is and wiring up 12 8 ohm drivers to acheive 8 ohms total will require live naked resistors!
I think I'm going to make them test beds for different doping recipes, no, not Lasix but shellac, violin varnish, Dammar, etc.
Because, belive it or not, the lowly Fostex 103E's are sounding fabulous now and getting better. And I haven;t even built the second pair of boxes with the tapers.
Then of course, that's all relative because the big system is still on top and the more I think about it, the Theatre 4's are still a benchmark for me.

Those Fostex drivers are really nice, aren't they? It's a different sort of thing than the larger systems, and they're both good in different conditions. Some of the full-rangers lack too much on the bottom end and the top end for my tastes, but I like the Fostex full-rangers that I've heard.
