Gang, Here are some good places to start as far as making some cool speakers! http://store.yahoo.com/fostex/speakcom.html The Fostex Sigma line to me rivals even the best Lowthers. I have made systems now based on the FE108, FE168 and FE208 in various cabinets including backhorns (108 & 168 ) and ported (168 and 208). If you are looking for a real nice fullrange unit from 100HZ up the 108 is magical. There are also some drivers in the standard FE series tat are wonderful. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/hpfertin/ Do you remember in grade school when they took one of those huge lantern batteries and connected a wire wrapped around a nail and that made a magnet. In the beginning of speakers they used what is called Field Coil technology. This as above required a DC source to make the magnet structure. The FLB20D40EX looks really cool in this regard, saving my cash for a pair. http://www.netspace.or.jp/~eifl/eifl/export/p610.htm My all time fav in the fullrange driver search. The Diatone P610MB was used in a product I producded the JPO Memorial Speaker. The driver in that system was ruller flat from 35Hz (-3dB) to 18KHz. What a winner!!! My take on this driver is as follows: The gain bandwidth principle states that the more gain you have the less bandwith. In the Lowther sense they pushed the gain so high it has lost the top and bottom end. When they designed the Diatone P610MB they pushed down the gain (it is still Alnico magnet structure) to get better bandwith, a win win for this unit! http://www.netspace.or.jp/~eifl/eifl/export/pe16m.html A newer driver to the fullrange market this Pioneer is suppose to be close to the Diatone in style but lacking a little in the top end. http://www.netspace.or.jp/~eifl/eifl/export/roiene/roieie.html The high end of Japanese fullrange units the Roiene drivers are suppose to be very nice, though a little costly. Have Fun, sorry I can't give away any of my designs but there is a lot of information out there and some of these are easy to use! Gordon |

Hi Gordon To read more on the Babb, have a look at the Full Range Driver Forum for more information from guys that use them, or visit the Babb Speakers website. They are great drivers IMHO. Enjoy. Deon |
