Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Re: Fostex FE166

Yes, I heard those speakers and they are very nice. Absolute sound steal at the price mentioned. Probably better than most of the single driver speakers I have around my house costing hundreds more.

If you like jazz, you are at the right forum for sound. The small ensemble jazz just sounds super on this stuff.

Also consider a Voight Pipe design, like the Abbys, with perhaps the above driver or another driver. I picked up my Abby's used for around 800 a couple/few years ago.

Also the Sigma 168 is a special driver if you can listen to it in a nearfield setting, and I recently picked up some vintage JBL speakers in large wood cabinets that sound pretty magnificent for jazz too.
