does anybody use it? what do you think about these product?
looks like... very earnestly, but I wanna know what's this exactly.

I havn't had the opportunity to have a listen to this model but for what it's worth I own a set of the JP 3.0 that I'm quite happy with.

Artmaster · 20th July 2005, 02:14 PM

it's ok , but let's compare these units, quality and price and then will know more.

I've been using a pair for quite some time and IMO they sound excellent.

Artmaster · 20th July 2005, 02:42 PM

oh! nice to know it?
how much you'd spend for it? would you compare it with something else?
I want to buy it, thus ask you about your experience.

I've used the Raven R1 in the past and I'd say that the JP2 is nearly its equal. The JP2 costs about $120 here in the US. http://www.zalytron.com/Fountek.htm

Cheers, mac.

The JP2 is a bit different than the newer "Neo" CD 2 .0version, and would likely sound at least a little different due to the additional mass of the Neo ribbon (over that of the original JP2).

I think that one or two members here have actually used the NeoPro 5i, so a forum search could be usefull.. however it is doubtfull that any searchs will reveal differences from differeing Fountek models.

The only person I know of that has listened to most if not all of the Fountek models is Rick Craig - who can often be found on the Madisound Forum.

thank you for all, but could you say something about price for these drivers? it's another side of any solution.

there suppose to be very similar to their Aurum Cantus counterparts, but with a plastic chasis instead of aluminum.

you can even use the AC ribbon elements in Fountek ribbon bodies.

"the difference is sound is not worth the difference in cost" - i read somewhere..

^but replacing the ribbon elements on Fountek ribbons are PITA compared to AC and LCY ribbons..
