Well, after several years of waiting i finally got a set of Full range Fostex FE167's.
They came from Planet10, a vey good friend
I have connected with a local guy that Planet10 has passed along to me, and we are building me a set of half Chilli's.

Only variation im going to change is im mounting my ribbon tweets on the top, that way there are no mods to the enclosure. I run Class A Mini a's 2 per channel ( left & right ) Will be posting pictures on here of the progress, and the crossover ( helped from planet10 ) to use the ribbon's and fostex's.

I love the blue !!!!!!!!!!
I think a full ranger with a ribbon crossed 6db very high would be killer.
The new tonian labs does something similar (using a ribbon with a fostex).
The tonian lab's tl-d1.
Tonian Acoustic
Tonian Labs TL-D1 - speakers - [English]
tonian labs tl-dl1
they even use ribons with the phy drivers.
please, please, keep us updated, especially on cap values.

Do you know where i can find the plans for those ? that is exactly what, having a new baby in the house i can't have book shelf speakers only towers and something sturdy.
Plus they are everything i have wanted

Jason, the plans for Tonian might be proprietary, and you already have the Chili plans in hand. IIRC the Aurum ribbons are sealed back, and occupy such little internal space that assuming you'd be mounting them off-centered and mirror imaged, I doubt any construction adjustments would be required.
To enhance stability of the enclosure, you might want to consider filling the lower void with sand or kitty litter through a small removable panel, and since the drivers' very vibrant colours will be very attractive to little ones, you definitely should consider grilles.
and belated congrats on the family

Great advice chris, thanks.
As for the munchkin, well.... no one told me that they grow fast...
Now to go out and find the "white" stain.
This is the look im going for.

FE167E + tweet
Just to mention a great design from Robert Brines FT-1600MkII MLTL as a good option for FE167E build - I built one 2-3 years ago for my friend with FT17H with very good results but Half Chilli's maybe better sounding...?
For me I needed to install super tweeter because I missed resolution of dedicated tweeter - not because of poor freq. response.
Just my two cents...

Max

Jason, even though Bob no longer lists this design on his site due to the discontinuation of the FE167E, I believe the following would still apply:
Bob charges the very reasonable fee of $25 for a full measured set of drawings, which I'm certain include the purchaser's agreement to not distribute or forward them to others.

I think Jim Griffin has released at least a couple based on either CSS FR/WR125 or Jordans?
it's hard to keep track of them all

Yes, I guessed it must be the one. A beautiful looking (and I guess nice sounding) pair... why change?
What does the T stand for - Trapezoidal?
Yup, and I'd u look closer, he's trying out my hand made cables
Good to see friends having fun and trying out DIY stuff !

yup - even a bit more challenging a build than the "normal" "Ken" enclosures (unless you don't know they should be hard)
