Well, after many readings I wanted the FF85K, wich was still in stock in a shop here. Placed my order then... no news: I was the guy who order just after another guy take the last pair... !@#!
A french website claims that january will see the new improved speakers to replace the FF85K. Anyone close to Fostex with clues?

Interesting ...
P.s. - Spectrumaudio.de are a good "speciality" driver shop online. They're German. I've ordered from them 2 or 3 times, everything was fast and good. It looks like they have the FF85K for €43 each: Übersicht Breitbandlautsprecher
New Ciare is a interesting alternative http://www.ciare.com/pdf/catalogo/HX135.PDF

There are all sorts of rumours swirling around. My supplier knows nothing. Better than FF85K will be pretty amazing.
I'm hoping the Gen 2 Alpair 6 catch up with the FF85
I have a few pair FF85KeN left.

while those of us still "fanboys"? of the late xx7 series are still adjusting to working with other drivers for non-BLH designs (yeah, the Alpairs are a challenge to live with 😱), our concerns upon first viewing of T/S parameters for the revised "6" series were allayed when we finally heard them in boxes.
provided that any successor to the FF85K doesn't lose the magic that may be buried in the combination of huge motor, teeny composite cone/dustcap and that fabulous UDR surround, there should be little to complain about
what am I saying, there'll always be some of us wanting to gripe, even in our most passive aggressive voice

I have been comparing FF85k and CHR70 drivers, and although I have not had a ton of break in on the CHR's the FF85ks sound wonderful.
All these drivers are SO different IMO, so it's not an easy choice.

Hi,
I'm not close to Fostex but the local distributor here say there will be a replacement for FF85K in the early next year.
Whatever "replacement" may be and turn out 😕

I was looking for another pair of the ff85k, and couldn't scare up any. (I am looking for a four-channel system right now) I just put my NIB pair up on ebay, so if you're interested, do a search. - Pat
Lowther in OB with passive XO
Has anyone looked at three Eminence Alpha 15s in a single OB with a Lowther on top? I've seen models that show two Alpha 15s get to SPL 95, would three get to SPL97-99?

I have that (single), although I prefer the Beta.
The efficiencies are such that a 16 ohm PM6A will have a
decent match with a simple passive crossover.

I'm just finishing up my F5 variations and I'm looking for the right OB to complement the system.
I'd considered the DX4 above two Alpha (or Beta) 15s with a passive XO. Jon ver Halen was pretty insistent that I go with one of the Alnicos, saying the DXs were nothing special on an OB. I'm paraphrasing a bit, but he'd suggested any of the PMA series would surpass the DXs on an OB. Have you had this experience? I know you've played with quite a few Lowthers on your OB system.
Finally, I'm open to an active XO. Do you have a sense of when you might release your Active XO DIY plans?
Thanks
