Has anyone heard these full range speakers? Looks too good to be true for building a budget hi efficiency single driver speaker. The 96dB 8" ($118/pr) is at the same price point as the 6" Fostex FE166E, and enclosure plans are included with the drivers.

I've been looking at them too. The six incher looks good for a TL, my fave load of abuse, if a little shy in Xmax, which might limit its max good volume; Fostii suffer from this as well. You might want to watch out for Mr. Dicks' recommended boxes. I had a couple guys post me from my site who had put the Fostex 206 in his load and were wondering what they might have done wrong, since they were not experiencing the thunderous bass he had described. I think it very unlikely that you will get Big Bass from an eight with a Qt of 0.19 in a vented box; you can run the sims in WinISD yourself. This looks like a horn driver to me. The six looks like an overall better driver for a VB or TL, even with its higher Fs. 2¢, Poinz

I have had good luck generally using drivers with Big Motor Syndrome, and both of these certainly have a bad case of that. Poinz

Lots of talk about these over only a --whatsits?--- $20 savings and unknown shipping costs. There's been talk about these over in the Full Range driver forum and it's cooled off quite a bit. Still the big magnet/motor is appealing in a big iron sort of way.
