VOTE: Your favorite Fostex driver

[gripracer]

I think it would be fun to take a poll of people's favorite fostex driver. IF you dont see your favorite listed, please specify.

I only had 10 slots for the poll, so some drivers were grouped together. So if you vote, please also list your reasons for the driver you chose.


Not Included: 5,6,8 inch K-series. FE138ES-R. F120A, F200A Alnico. Also, Japan-only drivers. They are pretty uncommonly used, but please post if you use and prefer them!

My vote is somewhat skewed, since the FE87e is the only Fostex driver I've ever heard. Regardless, I like it a lot.

Hello,
A very hard question for me. I have the ff: F120A, F200A, FE208ez, FE168ez, and FF85k. All sounded great for me, all favorites. Godspeed.

My mind was firmly made on this topic when I heard Planet10's Tysen

Cheers!

FE168SigmaES; once broken in, well balanced through the audio spectrum. Plays very well without a super-tweeter, a sub is not a must and fantastic slam.

FE127eN.

If i could add a woofer it would become the FF85KeN.

Very good: Decware DFR-8. FE206E mod and no more shouting!

I put in a vote for the FF85k. Mids and highs are simply wonderful. Bass is MIA, but what do you expect from a 3" driver? And at it's price, I have to call it a Best Buy.

I will also add an honorable mention for the F120a. When driven by tubes, it really shines--and is worth the considerable (to me) price. Unfortunately, if you use SS amps, it will just fall on its face.

Cheers, Jim

I give the 108esigma a thumbs up for great all around performance in the un-modded category.. Okay sensitivity, great construction, fair price, nice bass for a little driver in the right cab, great mids and nice highs.. A lot of bang for the buck imo

Although, I think I'll add a supertweet to mine at some point in the future.
