FR125S
The first batch arrived by air on Friday and these will be sent out to a number of people for testing and enclosure design. In addition to the usual ported and sealed designs they are also being tested in horn, MLTL, TL, dipole and in-wall alignments. These will be released or published as soon as available. T/S parameters will be updated shortly. When the sea shipment arrives in about 3 weeks, the drivers will be released for sale.
For some, who took the time to listen to the preproduction samples at the Northwest Audio Review last Saturday, they were the highlight of the day. On certain kinds of music the single driver magic astounds me everyday and I want to upgrade the electronics and sources in front of them with stuff I can't afford.

Comparing specs they seem quite similar - what causes the sound to be better than the FR range?
Thanks

The difference in the drivers.
From what I remeber Dan told me more copper in the motor as well as different soft parts were needed to get the upper end out to 20k.
Close yes in data but sound.Different for sure.
The FR is a driver that will be going after Jordan for sure with the X92S.

The voice coil has been improved and the surround comes a little bit further down on the cone providing better control. Other than that it is very much like the WR125S. I will be testing a pair and will post my results.

Dan Wiggins is in the middle of testing the first production units and I will make the full tests available when they are complete. Initial frequency response measured on a standard IES baffle is +/- 3 dB from 65Hz to 20KHz!

I'm not familiar with the design though I found some references to it. Once I have more drivers I'd be happy to give someone a pair if they want to build that design. Please send me a private email (via the website) and we can talk about it.

Hi Bob -
Just one idea for woodworking impaired potential customers: You're offering the first customers pre-cut baffles that are 11 by 6 and one-half. If the baffles were instead the same size as those on the cheap and nice Parts Express .25 liter cabs, you'd be able to direct customers to a ready to go solution to their speaker needs. - Pat

That would be possible but would duplicate what's already included in the PE offering. Such a baflle would also be considerably more expensive and less flexible from a veneer and finish point of view.
Listening to the FR125S in the PE cabinet at fairly loud volume also indicates that the cabinet is not as "dead" as it should be, particularly the large unbraced back. This driver is good enough to warrant a pair of Al's solid 1" walls, braced, ICE damped, reference cabinets with Kevin's new Exodus binding posts, 10-12 AWG silver coated copper wire, etc.

Who is Al? If this is an all-out driver, I'd like to check into an all-out cabinet, too. Thanks - Pat

Thanks Bob.
We have a few designs coming up for cabinets that have not been put up yet.
-1" MDF cabinet with magent grills CNC front baffles
Braced with 1" braces 2 per cabinet.
Round over front edges of 1" not 3/4"
Here is a 5.1 system less the sub.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Out of curiosity Al, if you are marketing those kits for home theater, why not make them sealed for better integration with THX style crossovers, which seem to be the norm nowadays in most home recievers?
