Identifying Fostex drivers..

Sylver300B · 4th July 2009, 09:52 PM

Does anyone know these drivers? I'd have the oportunity to buy a pair of these for $100 but I don't know this model, and what they are suitable for or not..

These seem to be Fostex 20X01R. I haven't found any spec or description of them so far.

Thanks folks.

That picture seems to be the only one on Google. I translated this from German with Google:

Note the last sentence.

"Like so many of my achievements, these two periods has been a long time its existence as a "cabinet product." Full of enthusiasm and up until anden on a test measuring unfortunately never used. The chassis has a ring radiator tweeter as the horn on a small works. Low and tweeter work as a broad bands with a super tweeter, ie coupling occurs above 10 KHz. This phase will be no problems in the sensitive listening. Unfortunately, TSP no longer exists."

Well, this seems a rare bird.. Never heard of this model either. I contacted the guy via email, and finally, he lives quite a few hours from here.. I'll see if we can arrange something. But not probable. Thanks for your help.

Very interesting. A coax based on the FE206/207 basket, so it can't be too old.

those are from the Fostex RM 780 studio monitors if they are about 8"

or the RM 765 if they are about 6.5"

These were very detailed sounding but there was something about them...and about all Fostex monitor speakers i have heard that i have never liked. I had a pair of these back in 89 or so.
