Hello
This is my latest "project", a Buschhorn, and I need help.
I live in a 3*4-meters room, pretty crowded with furniture, so I'm not very sure if a horn is a very suitable speaker in my case (or any speaker).
I'm using a hitachi mosfet amp, soon with a tube preamp.
I need a new pair of speakers, and the Buschhorn seems great.
My first option is Visaton FRS8, which is also available without problems, but for a second option, an up-grade, I don't know where to go!!
My options are limited: Visaton, Monacor, SAL, maybe P.Audio, Vifa and Morel.
Vifa 10 BGS is a very good solution, but I can't find it on
http://www.tymphany.com/prodvifa.php
it seems it's not in production anymore.
What can I use as a replacement for Visaton FRS8?
Fostex is not an option.

That's too bad... otherwise I'd have recommended the FE108EZ, too. I doubt a B'Horn can get any better than that.

Thank you for your answers
@jemraid, thank you for your offer, but for 12 euro for a Visaton...I'll probably pay more for shipping.
Somebody suggested me these Vifas:

http://www.tymphany.com/prodvifa.php - MG10MD09-08
Tha last one, seems to be the closest to 10 BGS as TS.
The first one doesn't really seem to be a full range.

I'm very un-decided !!!

And Vifa 10 BGS, or 9 BGS.
...and Visaton FRS8 and I want a horn.
I have e-mailed Tom Zurowski about his experience with Vifa or Monacor in his Zhorns, but he can't help me.
So far, the best choice it seems to be a Buschhorn with a 4" driver. Any sugestions?

Buschorn
Radio Shack 40-1197, with phase plugs and a little basket damping
Now if you can get your hands on a pair of the vintage Foster OEM driver aka FE103a, these are pretty darned good in the Buschorn.

If importing new or E-bay acquired vintage drivers is difficult or too expensive for your situation, my apologies.
