Way back in the Bottlehead Paramour days everyone was using the 104E in the Fostex designed enclosure. Mine had Lovely mids and soundstage and coherence but an AM Radio above 5-600 Hz. Fun to build, too.

Later, Transmission Lines came along for the 166 and 208 that sounded good all the way up with correction circuits but lacking dynamics.

For Jazz and singer/songwriter stuff, darn good. Mahler or Metal, not so much.

nice pic ---Is that a BK cabinet then with earlier Fostex? Interesting re/lack of dynamics with the 208--to verify that was not with a BLH cabinet but as you said a transmission line?

  Should have been 103E, 4" driver. The cabinet is the Fostex recommended for that driver. Don't know about the Bks.
