Hi,
I am planning to upgrade my BG20 horns, but cant decide which ones to use- Visaton BG200 or Fostex FE206. Horns are in use with SE KT66 Tube amplifier. Could anyone give me some idea how do they sound, compared to each other and to BG20? What I am looking is a clear sound and bit more volume (sensitivity!).
Regards
Urmo

Hi Urmo!
Since I have both speakers, my answer is, well, none
Visaton B200 (you meant that one, right?) is not meant for a horn.
Fe206 is a good driver, but I'd prefer something smoother.
So...Please consider some other options as well. Maybe someone else can suggest you something else. Personally, I'd prefer Markaudio Alpair 12:
Alpair 12 Driver | Markaudio
Although it may not be suitable for a horn. Anyway, don't hurry, wait for some more opinions.

Alpair seems to be fine driver, but 89.3 dB is bit low for low-power tubeamp, looking for something closer to 95-96 dB...
that makes things a bit more interesting for sure
looking for something closer to 95-96 dB...
That disqualifies the Visaton B200 (in reality more like 90-92 dB). The small sample of the new FE206En measures 96 dB.
