I bought the fostex FE166E's and built the bk-16 cabs from online plans.
Not too bad for how cheap the the total outlay was. I used initially a pair of 2A3 Bottlehead Paramour SET's. I also used various other types of amplifiers, from vintage SS, 6v6, EL84 PP's, to tripath/class D.
I felt I needed a little more "ommph/impact", so I saved up for some Altec 604's, in the factory 620A cabs, and never looked back, until I had to sell the system and a lot of my gear. But, I eventually scored some one owner Altec 19's for a steal of a price.
I am still going to save up for some more 604's, but this time I am going to get the newer GPA 604's and maybe try a different cab. I know what the results are for the 620, so I can always build another set of those.
Good luck in your audio adventure!
