I'd like to know how this rediculous thing sounds for $3630 CAD. I mean it's Fostex and it's crazy expensive so it has to be good, right?

For that price you could get 12 Ascendant Audio Avalanche 18's or 30 Atlas 15's.
Or a Parthenon motor structure. Then it begs the question of amplification.
Well....I'd like to know how this rediculous thing sounds for $3630 CAD. I mean it's Fostex and it's crazy expensive so it has to be good, right?
It has a very weak motor and low Xmax, so it could only be used for IB or dipole on low level output. It's also very difficult to make such large membrames stiff enough (it's already hard to do so with an 18").
I wouldn't want to use it for bass and since it will probably beam like a laser above 500 Hz I wouldn't want to use it for mid or high either. Maybe could use it as an passive radiator tho

Not that hard to amplify, unless you really want maximum SPL...
True. IB'ed for either one wouldn't require massive amplification for decent output. Or any other setup for that matter.
I'd be happy with 4 Avalanche 18's though hehe.. and you get free baskets. Of which I have yet to see on a Parthenon.
Till, what do the people in the building behind the speaker say?
If I had the money, I'd sure like to try that driver in open baffle.

thay are speachless and enjoy my music.
but serously since I have the 31" I hear very muted because also there you have enough bass and you dont want to turn the musik up. It is a class for it.
Yeah I know that too but I hate wearing shoes in my apartment.

Total common misconception.
