Fe88 Es-r

[jdybnis]

Has anybody heard these drivers? I'm in Tokyo now and thinking of tracking down a pair in Akihabara tomorrow but I'm a bit hesitant. The FE166ESR seems to be sold out internationally while the FE88ESR is still available even though it was released first. Any thoughts?

I picked up a pair of the FE88ESR's. I'll post pics and listening impressions; not for a few weeks though. I haven't gotten as many pictures so far as I wanted. Every store in Akihabara has a problem with me taking pictures because price tags show in the pictures. But I did visit the FAL showroom and hear their FLAT drivers. I have pictures from there. I was very impressed with their 3" full-range. Look forward to more info on that too.
