Anyone know if Fostex are going to replace this wonderful driver or not -the only medium-high Q 8" driver they made? I know the FE207E and F200a are there, but their overal Qs are still a fair bit lower the the FX200, and besides; the first's not in the same legue quality wise (not that I'm saying it's bad) and the F200a requires a Lowther-sized pocket. Why on earth did they discontinue it? It didn't exactly lack popularity from all I've heard.
Cheers

No idea if they are planning to replace it or not. I wonder if they sold very many of them, I rarely heard of anyone building enclosures for them. I had a pair, and I was never really pleased with the sound of them-too reedy sounding in the mid range-so I sold them and picked up a pair of FE206's. The FX200s did have really nice smooth, extended highs though-remarkable for such a big FR driver.
HI,
if have no idea why they dont buid the FX200 anymore. I've got a pair and wouldn't sell it. Right now I've got the FX200 in a BL-horn. You can find a picture here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=65061
Before I had it in a closed box with a bit more than 25-26 liters.
If you get a pair buy it.

I had the luck to realise the projekt together with my friend and partner Raffi.
actually I only designed the plans for the horns and the rest made a cabinetmaker (who doesen't speak a word with me anymore) with a lot of patience.
If I build a horn it looks like the followin picture. They ain't very housewifecompabile
P.S. only one fullrangedriver played. On the picture you can see some of my fullrange drivers: the Fostex FP253 (sealed 45 liters), Fostex FX200 (sealed 25 liters), Fostex Fe127 (sealed 0,9 liters), Coral 4A70 (sealed 1.0 liters)

Scottmoose,
A couple months ago (when I had money) I was searching for the fx200s all over the internet for a store that would have 1 pair left in the corner or something. The drivers just seamed so perfect. I really hope they replace it with something. I've heard a couple bad things about the construction of the driver but all I had heard was great things about its sound quality.

Greets!
Depends on who you ask. It was a relatively cheap knock-off of JBL's LE8 series and once the 'cognoscenti' gave it a collective 'thumbs down' (or so I was told by someone in their core market, which of course means it could be pure BS)............. Since the FX120 is a cheap LE5, they intimated it will go away also. Pity, a lot of bang/buck in these. I can't help but wonder if JBL took umbrage at Fostex's 'cheekiness'.
The F120A, F200A OTOH appear to be ~clones, with commensurate pricetags.

The ports might end up having flower pots or teddy bears in them.
