My comment was not meant to criticize the SFR175 but to convey what I was hearing. They are detailed, clear and throw a wide soundstage. I was just listening to Fleetwood Mac Tango in the Night and Stevie Nicks' voice is amazing. These speakers are fantastic and enforce the adage of garbage in, garbage out.
BTW Bass duties are done by a REL T5X sub which integrates seamlessly with the SFR175.

Does anybody know the current prices for Sonidos field coil range driver lineup? Especially for the models SWR 096/FC, SWR 200/FC and SWR 250/FC.
Is the power supply included?

I've decided to order the 096 field coil I'll be using open baffle. This will be my first build, and hopefully my last. Been thinking about it for a while and have a good idea what I'm after, and some idea how to achieve it. I plan to use with a super tweeter and woofers coming in around 150-200...but we shall see, I'll listen to the 096 on its own for a bit.
Plan to get his power supplies and crossovers as well. Excited.

The 096 information was very interesting. Strangely, I have baggage about cheap 6x9 automotive speakers…which these are NOT.
I have considered ordering a second pair of field coils and they were near the top of my interest.
I’ve just hoarded too many drivers and projects at this point that I haven’t tried.
I’ll be interested to read your feedback on them.
Best of luck!

I will definitely report back, paying for them today and getting the sonido power supplies as well.
Something about the 096 just drew me to them. Gotta go with your gut.
Shopping for woofers and tweeters now. Probably get SB audience woofers but open to suggestions.

096 was the Sonido that caught mine & Scott’s attention.

The voice coil is made using the latest technology from flat wire wound with an edge and thus the mechanical strength and heat resistance are excellent.
Have you had customers from China and experience with shipping and customs especially concerning the PSU? I'm in Beijing.
Hi @Superchunk,
i was wondering if you could share with us some info about the crossover, active / passive fc / peq?
Many thanks in advance, Stefano
This has also been my experience with my SFR200 FC that I had Istvan build with 16 Ohm voice coils for me.
