Thanks Andy

are you planning on trying any??

Tony.

Andy G · 21st September 2005, 09:11 AM

funding would be an issue at the moment, but hopefully at some stage I will get the opportunity !
A pair of the Pro5i is a somewhat scary price !!!
but either of the 3.0's are quite reasonable I think.

I only have trade prices available.
I think you would have to contact WES for retail prices.

i have vifa P17WJ-00-08's 4 off, matched out of old duntech's
now 4 sep speakers
using with vifa D25AG-35-06's
these look interesting for the 2 main speakers
but i thought ribbons were very directional (one spot only for best soundstage)
have you tried them yet?
any comparisons with other tweeters?

Other people who have used ribbons would have to comment on the sound comparison. I haven't had the chance yet.

Prices compared to Vifa D25 ? ok I can do rough ball park figures comparison on a "per driver" price, based on listed trade prices,
(remember that they sell them in matched pairs.)

Fountek JP3.0 is just over twice the price of D25 each,

Fountek NeoCD3.0 just over 1.5 times the price each

Fountek Pro5i, about 6 times the price each.

Hope that gives a rough idea !

Andy, can you just post the prices? Retail would be about 50% over that, I would guess.

I looked at their website already -- no prices.

Andy G · 21st September 2005, 01:57 PM

I did have a talk once to the guys at WES about trade prices. The impression I got was that they would prefer trade prices to be treated as confidential. I feel I ought to respect that.

Hope that is ok by everyone.

You can always email them on

Catalog codes are: JP30, NEOCD30, NEOPRO5I
