In Reply to: FX120 and FE167 probably better... posted by Thomas Martens on January 4, 2007 at 16:36:22:
Hey Tom,Thanks for the info! I think you know this, but just to clarify, Paul and I were talking about sealed boxes to limit low frequency excursion, so your BR comments wouldn't apply there.
I certainly agree the FX120 has a gorgeous frequency response, perhaps the best I've seen, just a little dip at 20K, nice with your tweeter. Unfortunately the 89dB sensitivity is a deal breaker for me--what are you going to use to drive yours?
I'm no fan of whizzer cones either, and was torn over the FF225K, which has high efficiency, smooth response, and a nice rolloff at 11K that just begs for a tweeter. But I finally decided against it because of the upward tilt to its response.
So I'm leaning towards the FE166E as the best mid-through-high spectral balance in a 94dB (or better) efficient speaker, whizzer be d***ed. And it'll be in a sealed box and used with a sub, so low end is not an issue. Thanks for your insights--and any others.
