Solo 103 - Suggestions for other drivers?

EvilMose · 13th November 2006, 10:50 PM

Hello everyone,

For my first project, I have decided to build the "Solo 103" from Tony Gee's site:

[http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Solo103.html

Has anyone else tried any other drivers in this box, or have any suggestions as to what else might work? I getting a pair of FE103's, but I think it could be interesting to experiment with other drivers as long as there is some chance they would work.

Thanks,
Mose

Yes, the Fe107.
To me a bookshelve speaker on stands is wasted volume. If you are going to use the volume/ area/footprint to maximum efficency then use it. A stand is wasted volume.
Nothing aganist the Solo 103, i am sure it responds well for the size, but something along the line of a MLTL would perform better.

I don't doubt that a floorstander would have much better bass response, but these are actually going to go on a shelf, so I think I am going to stick with the Solo 103. Thank you for the driver suggestion.
