Frugal-Horns Hiro Driver Choices

[darbost]

I'm interested in building Frugal-Horns Hiro, but couldn't get the listed drivers (FE1-68eS) locally. So my question is, may I replace FE1-68eS with FE168EƩ instead? If I can, what can I expect from it (better/worse)?

Thanks.

...they're the same driver, just another way of writing FE168 E "Sigma" https://www.madisound.com/store/prod...roducts_id=272

The driver oHiro was designed for is FE166e, FE166En will work.

Thanks for clarifying that. I guess I get confused a bit with Scott here.

Will FE168ESigma give noticeable better performance? If not then I'll happily settle with FE166EN.


Thanks.

One would hope that it does...

Thanks Dave. Decided to stick with FE166EN.

But after calculate the total cost, I found Sachiko and Hiro gonna differed a bit only. So now the question, is Sachiko overkill for my room size (WxL : 4.8m x 6.6m)?
Previously I chose Hiro because I'm afraid Sachiko will be too much for my room (and who doesn't want to save a bit? ) ...

My personal preference is for smaller drivers. Based on that i'd go with Hiro.
