Robert,

Agreed... many people rave about the FE126E in just about anything... yet, I find them irritating (upper midrange shout) before 1-watt sets in. The F120A (in a simple ported enclosure) is a completely different sounding driver. Still no idea what I'll do for the FE138ESR... was leaning towards the resonant pipe plans included.

I built the BVRs for the D5nf over a year ago... not bad but bass shy and too low off the ground. I recently got the 30-liter triple ported enclosure plans directly from Feastrex... these are my next enclosure builds and will put them on custom stands to get the driver up higher. The D5s are impressive when driven well.

In any case, do let me know how you fare with the FE138ESR.... especially if the resonant pipe enclosure works out. Cheers!

Regards, KM
