hey there folks. ... i've got money burnin a hole in my pocket (not much money .. but money all the same!)
i've been wanting to build a new pair of speakers and at first i was thinking of building a two way horn setup and did a ton of research and planning toward that goal... then I got interested in building a pair of fostex fullrange speakers just because they seem like they are dirt cheap... problem is I can't decide what to drop my cash on. I want something high efficiency.. .and like the idea of a fostex driver in a backloaded horn (just because I wanna hear what it sounds like) I just can't choose a driver and box.
If i do go with the fostex i am struggling between the 103, the 126, and the 127. If all of these are no good i could bump up to the 206 or 207 but I really wanted to try something that is versatile like the 103 in open baffle or something and then move it into horns. Does anybody have any input on which driver to go with??? what horn to go with.>>??? I know there are a million possiblities but I am also banking on the fact that somebody else was once in my shoes... What did you choose?? and how did it work out??
I am half tempted to try something like the zhorn or a clone of the omega super 3's..... those claim to be crossoverless designs... do they have notch filters, BSC, or anything like that in them or is it just wire box and speaker???
and last question... is better fidelity found in a high end two way horn system or a large WMTM like i see most audiophiles buying?
