When I heard Fostex F200A alnico full range driver first time I realized its great potential.
Problems associated with this driver IMHO have been clearly connected with the enclosures and electronics to use.
Speaker builder for many years I did it my way - closed box with electronic low-pas filter based in JRiver media center.
The 1.27 cubic feet internal volume (36 litters) box constructed from 3 x 3/4 inch of MDF glued and pressed. The thickness is 2.25" all around.
I have all drawings in Deltacad. The boxes built by professional woodworker.
Multiple MDF and Red Oak braces located in the strategic places to avoid vibrations and move it to high frequency region where it's less audible.
The back of front panel behind driver is routed by 45 degree to allow the driver work freely.
Acousta-Stuf used for damping.
The drivers and 5 ways binding posts are routed flash. Sound Anchor 3 post stands are de-coupling speakers from the floor.
The Sound Anchor spikes are also available and included. One of the speakers is scratched in front and you may see it on one of supplied pictures.
This scratch happened when I moved sound absorption panels in my small room. I patched it up and it's visible only under certain angle.
In my room having window behind the speakers the scratch hasn't being visible at all with the day light and barely noticeable with ceiling lights.
Speakers veneered with Anigra. I drive this speaker with Cayin A-50T tube amplifier from Micromega dac (both for sale also) and purposely built hi-end audio PC with Audiophile Optimizer.
The necessary low-pass filter have being setup in JRiver Media Center at 750Hz as well as I did a little adjustment in the bass region using JRiver.
In my view Parametric EQ is the best way to do it. Of course passive filter might apply as well.
I am selling this speaker for USD $975.00 including Sound Anchor stands.
Needless to say that the current price only for new F200A drivers is around $1200/pr with S/H.
The Sound Anchor 3 post stands around $800 with S/H.
The cost of boxes was around $2000 including veneering.
These speakers are great with small or medium room and gave me many hours of audiophile joy with many type of music except very heavy hard rock or Metal.
The sound is very coherent and easy to listen too. Voices, pianos, violins, strings and brass are refined.
Listening fatigue is no question with these speakers for hours of listening. In my small 10' x 12' x 8’ acoustically treated room I heat 40Hz point easily and the alnico bass is super fast. In my view there is no need for subwoofers or super tweeters.
As you may see I am selling these loudspeakers for fraction of its price. Need some funds for next project.
Box size: W x H x D - 12" x 27" x 17.5".
Box Weight: around 80 lb without stand.
Speaker with Sound Anchor stand: W x H x D - 15" x 46.5" x 18".
Local pick up only in New York.
