full range questions

oceanaudio · 7th December 2011, 06:43 PM

Hi, I recently added a second system to my house and ended up with fostex 103 units in small ported cabinets driven by a VTA single ended tube amp.. I'm amazed by these drive units and would like to know what would be the best designs to mount these drive units in. My main speakers are loth x 3's driven by a croft syntegra amp and modified lector cdp o5t which I love, but i'm now iching to build my own speakers. What are the best full range drive units and also what sort of enclosure should I use?
Thanks in advance... Matt

The 103's are very nice. You can also look at CSS, Mark Audio, Tang Band, Hi-Vi and a number of others.

As far as cabinets go, have a look at the planet10 site if you are considering full range drivers.

Wow, P10 is an incredible resource for cabinet designs!

If you tell us the size of the room your speakers are going in it would help determine the best setup for you.
