WTB: FE127 or similar?

zmix · 3rd October 2011, 02:26 AM

I had an amplifier mishap that damaged one of my Fostex FE127 drivers.. Sadly these are out of production now.

I'd like to find a replacement or two, short of that perhaps a recommended replacement?

FX120 is the closest, just the frame is a little different shape, but the hole pattern is the same. Motor is bigger in diameter.

What box did you build?

Thanks for the reply Jeff.. actually looking for a pair of FX120 as we speak..! The cabinet I'm using for the 127s are actually a modified pre-built Yamaha cabinet.. ($0.00) and I am driving the speakers with a current source. They're my 5th set of reference monitors in my studio...

Maybe this one is even a closer match? Looks like it will work in a ported box.

Jeff, FF125wk is going to need a smaller box. Same curve for my boxes gives me 9 litres from 13 for the FE127. It is, i believe, going to prove itself a better driver.

This looks like a pretty amazing driver for the money, too:
