Frugal horns w/ Fostex FE126

[Ajani]

That sucks man! Take heart, the drivers are affordable and the designs are free/accessible. You should begin researching some horn designs. This site has my plans plus tons of others. I have a feeling that with your tastes the Metronomes would be appealing. The good news about that is they are very simple in design.


I hear what you're saying about waiting, and you're right. Enthusiasm aside, we agreed on 2 weeks before any business would take place.

Do you have a subwoofer? Oh ya, it may interest you to know that a company in the former Yugoslavia was close to releasing a proprietary version of the Frugal horn, to be sold with a subwoofer. It fell through before they got to production, but they were going to price the package at just under 10K Euro!

I think you should not let go of the single driver concept just yet.

I'm definitely not abandoning the single driver yet... But it will form my 2nd system... So i'll work on it after the main rig is complete... The main rig is all Emotiva Electronics with Revel F12s - so serious dynamic range and should be loads of fun... Eventually I hope to get the Fostex FE206ENs (I'll have to build or pay a local to build an enclosure) and a MiniWatt amp to match with my Benchmark DAC1 in my Cans system... So it should leave me with 2 sweet systems with totally different priorities...

Best of all I'll be able to compare: Cans VS 3way tower with 300 watt SS amp VS single driver with 3.5 watt Set amp...
