Someone at Ebay is selling the Tangband 1320 at a fairly good price ($60-70 a pair including delivery). I am thinking of using a pair as a bipole arrangement.
My query is that how does it compare to the Fe127 in a similar arrangement? Would the FE127 has an edge over the Tangband in terms of sound reproduction?
Any input from any one is welcomed. Cheers.

I have the 4" bamboo..............
$70 a pair for the bamboo including shipping, I'd get some (no longer availiable).
I use 2 arranged like the omega minuet

the fostex has a peak just b4 7khz while the bamboo has a peak at 6khz (never bothered me).
The bamboo has a shorting ring and phase plug.
The fostex has a 3 gram cone while the bamboo is 3.5 grams.
The bamboo has a stronger magnet.
I'd imagine they are close in sound but who knows.
The fe127e has a huge following while the bamboo was too pricy for huge popularity (even though worth it) and was discontinued (my theory).
People are still buying 127e, even at $45 now.
Most of this stuff is like flavors.
I am thinking of trying 4 of the 2" peerless (830970) in an array similar to the 7th veil "nonsuch 4" but I'd use somewhere between 18" and 24" wide baffle to avoid baffle step stuff.

Why not buy 1 of each then tell us what you think ?
