After some more consideration, I believe my best choice for a full-range driver will be the Fostex FE206e. It has been said that eventhough it is not their most expensive 8" driver, it is their best sounding one. And I figure if I'm going to build these, I might as well go with the driver that is going to give me the most for my money.

Hmmm... i have heard good things about them, but i doubt there is a clear best driver... mind you i haven't heard any comments yet on the FA200 (Alnico). The FX200 gets good press, and if i was getting an 8 based on other comments would consider the FA200. The one i'd really like to get my hands on is a quad of FE168ES.

Well, either way, the FE206e driver will give me a little more bass extension and a slightly softer top-end. Right now, I have to just do some more "studying" to find out all the details before I even think about getting started.

However, I think I am going to order the Fostex in a week or so. You can't have enough extra drivers laying around, you know!

The moving mass coil of the FE166E, is three time less than the FE206E, in despite of a soft bass response, the general sound of the FE166E is better than FE206E.
