I did not have a lot of time to ply with my new DEQ options. From what I have seen it turned out to much worst then I remember it.  This think make soul-dead sound and I do not think that it shell be used for any purpose. I still have some thoughts about the DEQ as a tool and I might pass them what I have time in the DEQ dedicated thread.

The perspective of MiniMe bothered me more and I was contemplating if I need to start working with JBL LE5 driver more seriously. I have different way of thinking about drivers as I usually recognize the natural driver’s beast capacities and then just let them to be as they are. I do not like drivers, EQ, zobeling, impedance normalization and all the tricks with electrical resonators sitting between driver and amp. They all make the sound hollow – the acoustic pressure is there but useful sound is not. So, I was considering the time I might spend to it I decided do not and to go for another driver.

After some deliberation I make a move toward to Fostex 120A. I have to admit that I do not like Fostex generally. They have no “absolutely tone” and they are all overly glitzy and overly presumptuous. I never hear any harmonically-interesting sounding Fostex driver. From another side I do not look from MiniMe to get “interesting” sound but rather “none annoying” sound.  The Fostex 120A might fill need.

The Fostex 120A has look like similar mounting dimensions as my JBL:

and I was proposed what I might do with my smallish MF box to optimize it to use with Fostex 120A. The driver will use with Bud’s patterns and the specials measures will be taken to comfort the mean aluminum dust cap. I outsourced all Fostex 120A drivers cooking ceremony to David from
