Hi Jim,

That should be a very interesting project and I am anxiously waiting to hear about your experiences and a comparision between the back loaded horn and the ML TL with the FE-206E. In particular, a detailed comparision of the strengths and weaknesses of both designs would be of great interest. Now that I am getting into horn designs any data or impressions would be very helpful.

Good luck and keep us posted,

Martin

Martin, I felt very lucky to find someone that was producing what looks to be a very high grade of quality work and at such reasonable prices---the Fostex brochure shows some damping and sand bags installed----trying to figure out how to make those items now---I have another guy sending me some more horn plans for Fostex driver that were designed by the Janpanese ---personally I find the horn design concept truely awe inspiring---something that is in every way equal to the vaccum tube itself! What a pair! can't wait to get started ---- Jim

Hi Jim, just wandering if you've completed your horn project. I'm very interested about your impression of this project and how the speakers sound to you. I would really like to see the plans and picture of the completed speaker
