Good morning,
@scotmosoe, @planet10
you can see , the speaker was standing on a bad place, but anyway the sound was good. He has make´s his job well.
I think, when the 2. is ready, i can tell you more about the sound. At the moment the speakers have to play with an old "marantz pm66 se". Next month, i hope so i will get a new tube-amp. It will be an OPERA AUDIO Cyber 100S with 4 300b Tubes.

It is time to ease these into full release.
The plans are pretty much ready to go. Like the FH3 we (Scott, Chris, andmyself) get no monetary benefit from these. Donate a minimum of $10 to diyAudio.com and send me your receipt and i'll get you the URL for the planset.

Thanks Dave! I'll do it. I trust that the FHXLs are one of the best to house the 168Sigmas.
We have no idea yet. FHxl was not designed for them, only pehajope has been brave enuff to experiment, we await his verdict.

Being unconscionably lazy about diarizing impressions of every commercial and DIY speaker I've heard in the past dozen or so years since reawakening my audio hobby ( must be in the hundreds), I can't remember whether the 168Sigma was among them. If so, it's performance wasn't striking enough that I couldn't live without a pair.
LF and SPL limitations of the smaller units notwithstanding, of the over dozen Fostex FR units I have heard or owned, I've always preferred the 3 -4" models to any of the 6" - perhaps the new FF165WK being the notable exception.
At approx 1/2 the cost of the FE168Sigma, I can see the Alpair10P as offering excellent value, and can attest firsthand that it works very well in the XL.

"Works very well in the XL" - is it the Alpair10P or the Fostex FE168Sigmas that you are referring to? Thanks.
The 10P (which is the baseline unit it was designed for, though the 168 should work quite well).
Good morning,
I think in the end of thes week the speakers will be ready for testing in stereo and i will let you know how they works in the Frugels. I´m think
I made a lot speakers (Backloaded Horns) with this chassis. not all for my own and nobody will give them away again.
Maybe I will try to make the Top of the front like Ron´s horn.
