what else, FR125
The wise amongst us would leave that one alone
Also notable for those joining the thread late is compatibility issues with the die-hard low SPL/SET clan. Kevin Haskins has noted to me that none of the Bottlehead amps mate well with this series of drivers either. There maybe a SET with the authority to surmount the suspected impedance resonances, but we might be talking Josh Stippich territory
But never fear, Underdog (P/P) is here
Could this be the summer of concatenating mother-truckers* strikes?
Not only Bob's speakers, but if the news media is close to correct (
it could happen ), then all container transported imports and exports through Port of Vancouver could be affected for who knows how long.
*with respect to any transport workers in the audience
Since we're almost joined at the hip, I guess once might perceive a bias on my part as well.

compatability
Hello fellows:
Given the marvelous mating of Fostex with SET, I think it is okay to let this one go to mate with other amplifier formats. I for one was quite happy with the sound of the combination of Jason's mini A and the CSS drivers. So happy I ordered a package from Jason.
I also think this interaction will give a very powerful motivation to either get a Push Pull design sorted out that meets the exacting standards of the SET crowd, or solve the interaction.
I am sure the solution exists it just might be in the wrong tax bracket right now.
It is great that so far we have a driver that appears to do what it claims for a price we can afford.
Good for you Bob

Scott- What does a "package" (from Jason) consist of? Does this include the metal cases? I too thought the mini's sounded good with the above drivers, (this from a tube convert!) I'd like to hear the mini's w/ the FT1600's- Don
Mini A
Hello Don:
I am not real sure what is going to be in the kit. I suspect it will be PCB and all the stuffings, heat sinks, I am hoping for a complete package so I only have to do a little aluminum and wood work (maybe transformers).
Jason is a good player so I am not real worried.

Westjet flies direct to Comox. The island is big enough for one more from the other side of the rocks.
Thanks for the invite. Especially tempting because I have yet to visit the island, but it just isn't likely to happen this summer. Cheers

No they had a secret "islanders only" meeting. Us mainlanders were left out.

You really should try and see it, it's beautiful and not near as rainy as Vancouver.
Rule #1 on the island is you throw away your watch.

Yeah, and nobody south of the border was informed until it had already started.
I wonder about these "secret societies" .
For anyone interested in the FR125S, here is the 1st promo sheet on them.... pictures, specs, response on an IEC bafle, and glowing text 😀
