I meant that it was being shown at that Northwest Meet. Creative Sound Solutions is the only place I know of that has Jordan Speakers and some Tangband models not carried by PE.
On the homefront (CSS is in Canada, I am in Wisconsin USA) a test switch of drivers in the PVC boomtoobz has, I think made a substantial change for the better. I swapped in one of my FE127e's and am now comparing the sound of the RS 1197 (which has none of the modifications that have been mentioned as tweaks) and this Fostex 127.
*pic*s available of the boomtoobz when digital cameras get to be about eighty bucks or so.

I'm sure that if there were questions I had for MK he would answer them here as he has before. What I'm doing is experimenting without much basis in theory. And luck. The first FE127 project was with the advice of the gang at full range driver forum. I had 2 mini enclosures from a nakamichi R-1 mini receiver system. I took out the small woofer, plugged up the port hole plus took out the backs of the Naks and the FE127s fit like a glove. Other mod is making new baffles for a small pair of Speakerlab kits whose cabinetry is superb, but drivers... eh. These were not well-known components. But I have since read that Terry Cain did the building for some Speakerlab product. So the cabs get fresh baffles and maybe, someday, Jordan JX92s'es. The cabs are very close to the specs for Dr. Griffin's Jordan design.
I still have to get the tools to do some scratch building.
