While trolling, found this. I never seen this before //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/clap.gif.178cba2c538c68e720c727fcb024b19c.gif

They have a 105dB sensitivity driver, 16 ohm.

Low powered tube users would get a boner.

how much?

 

[dakar8 10+ year member]

I think they are supposed to be in the same price range as lowthers when they come out. The naturflex being the most expensive.

Here's a link to more info on them

they have wizzer cones?

Fostex 166E's and 206E's have whizzer cones, as well.

They **** off axis unless you put a phase plug in there - there's actually a way to cut out the dustcap and install a little metal hex socket in there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Looks ghetto, but the magnet holds the socket in there and works as a phase plug //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

There's a guy in Ontario that has a neat little business carving custom phase plugs for 'em as well.

pretty nifty

Still...$1200 for 105dB/W drivers isn't all that great.

For that kind of money, I'd build a huge line array and blow my ears off with it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Or build a pair of Nelson Pass Kleinhorns, and do the same thing...hehe

I'm glad you are measuring the value of a system by it's sensitivity lol... These would sound good if you don't like solid high and low freqency responce (one driver)....

Too expensive, not enough performance. Unless they'll jack me off and wash my clothes I'd rather get a hooker.

Shit, in my speakers which sound very good might I add, There are 2 speakers for freqs below 350Hz, one for 350Hz-4000Hz and then one from 4k to god knows where.... Plus if you add the sub that goes from 15Hz- 110Hz I got alot of speakers....

Some people really like the one-driver-for-everything approach, though I feel that you really can't rely on a 6" or 8" to provide useful subbass. You at least need a subwoofer to take care of the bottom octaves.
