Fostex FE206ES-R (Drive Units)

I've run 206esr in my 150's. I think they sound good. I think they benefit a bit from a tweeter, in my case I used Fostex T90A's. But needing a tweeter is a bit of a drag... But the AER's cost a billion dollars... I switched my Lowther PM6A-ticonals back into my Oris though, because they seem smoother to me (I wonder what I'm actually noticing?). The 206esrs have more highs, lows, and volume than my Lowthers. People say they improve after 1K hours, maybe I'll try them in my Oris again some day. In the mean time, since the Fostex can make much deeper bass thah the Lowthers, I'd like to put them in a backhorn of some sort. Seems a shame to waste their bass potential in the Oris, which cut off below 150Hz. But then how many speakers do I actually need? A lot, I guess, since I'd also like to try open-baffle. Maybe I'll yank my F200A's out of their BR boxes and bolt them to some boards... And then there are the rumored 208esrs, they might be the ones! Have fun!
