Fonken for 10" Audio Nirvana?

[JRKO]

Note that there is one other "not so mini" minOnken in beta construction using a big efficient driver -- Eminence 12LTA.

There's no doubt. The mysterious warrior was a 'ken

and of course by the time you're finished building enclosures suitable for some of these drivers your back will be ...

I'm in the market to buy plans and would like input on building the Fonken w/AN10 or going with the Emken w/Emminence 12LTA. What do you think the pro and con is of each speaker? I have no issue with size or weight. My last DIY are 47" tall, 25" wide, 22" deep and 300 pounds each. So either of these are small in comparison. Thanks

no idea on anything but the Emken - Ask dave (Planet10) about plans over on the Emken thread

Cannot comment on the Emken but their seems to be plenty of imformation on that thread.I would assume Dave would allow more beta builds on the audio nirvana since their seems to be only one pair in existence.Why not pm him?

He would. Earlier direct communicatin with Ward di dnot get as far as betas.

We are going ahead with EmKen, if we do any Audio Nirvana, it will be the cast 8" 1st.

Just speaking with Dave at Audio Nirvana, and he says the midrange is significantly better on the 10 compared to the 8.
It might be worthwhile sticking with the original plan.

That is not something i would trust Dave to decide for us.

I won't disagree with that. I am probably going to buy some 10 neodymium and 12 cast frames if you guys want my opinion about them. I also have the seas fullrange

Always interested. My SEAS 8" are still languishing. 3" Scan 10Fs are very nice, but it remains a question whether they are worth the premium price.

Most people says that the 10" is better than the 8" in everything, but if you don't believe the creator of this units then you don't need to believe all those people too...
