Glossing over some full range designs, I'm trying to decide whether to build a Visaton FRS 8 version of the Cyburg Needle, or a TABAQ. Comparing designs, however, I saw that the FRS doesn't need a filter in the Cyburg design, yet the Tang Band drivers do - as they obviously do in the TABAQ design.
So my question is: can I build a TABAQ-like cabinet for the Visaton FRS 8 drivers, and if so, do I need a filter?
(BTW, the price and availability of the FRS 8's make me really want to do my first build with these drivers).
Thanks in advance for answering my admittely n00b question!

Why ask the same question twice, in different threads?
It just dilutes the info around and makes it harder to search....

I'm sorry, I only found the post in the other thread at a later moment and tried to ellicit a specific response from a member.
The original Needle was in the first instance evaluated with the FRS8 afaik.
You don't really need a filter for this cheap speaker, but i suggest you a simple impedance linerization.
In addition, the fullrange FRS8 is not capable to play very low without distortion,
use the leonard audio software for simulating the driver with the needle to see if you really like what you see.
The needle is a no-brainer and works very well at low volume in my opinion.
If you have not enough budget it's a good start building something on your own 🙂

thanks for your kind reply, S4m. I'll try the software.
Low bass/low volume is no problem, or rather an advantage, as the speakers are meant for a small room with thin walls and lot's of neighbors 🙂

Or you try a TL wallspeaker design, no filters needed and the sound is awesome!

You find the build at the bottom of the page 🙂

Vielen Dank! That looks like a fun build, too, especially since it's all foam... saves a lot of woodwork.
Yes, and due to the placement directly at the wall, the speaker have an amazing localisation of the single instruments and they play below 70hz (unbelievable with those tiny drivers, but they do). The sound seems not to come out of the speakers but out of the wall, try it out!
If you need a filter or not in TABAQ depends on your personal taste. I do not use any filter in m TABAQ with 4" Tang Band.
It is the shape of the front baffle, listening distance, distance back wall, roof and side walls and type of floor that determines the need for damping of the upper frequencies with a baffle step circuit.
