Have you been reading my mind again? :-) Dave and Chris are working on a custom Fonken for the F120A for me as we speak.

Hi Jim,
Apparently one of us is psychic, I was researching the 120 just this morning. I am still undecided on which way to go, I believe a room stretcher would probably solve many of my audio problems. If you get the Fonken for the 120 going I would very much like to hear your impressions of it.

Best,
Ed

Ed,

Well, I have to credit floobydust on AC for pointing me in the direction of the F120As. I got them and decided to trust them to Bud for the EnABLing before I even heard them -- obviously not the best way to go about things, but I had nothing to play them with anyway. I asked Dave about the feasability of altering the fonken for this driver and when he said it looked possible, I sent the drivers to him so he and Chris would have a real live pair to optimize the design with.

Bud had nothing but really, really good things to say about these drivers, and also said that they required minimal EnABLing.

So, we'll see -- I took a few calculated risks going down this path, and I think the end result will just be a matter of differences in degrees of excellence.

P.S. -- If you can get the F120As, get them -- they are becoming extremely rare and may not be available much longer -- at least that's what I'm told.
