I wanted to answer some questions posed by interested parties. These speakers are 8 ohm and were both manufactured on the same date in 1998.
Though I am not a regular visitor here on the Good Sound Club I am a routine contributor on the Klipsch...

Well, I do not care one way or another and I truly have no “concern”. I have my drivers; I think I have some spare – so why would I care about new productions. It is very possible that the new productions will be identical to the old production or ev...

[quote user="oxric"]Romy's comments, not coming from someone who has insider knowledge as to the manufacturing of these drivers, must be taken with a healthy pinch of salt. Why he seems so opposed to these drivers which are not even that expensiv...

I am with great pleasure observe the craziness that “rakeshpoorun” created around the buy of a Fane’s new production run of Studio 8M drivers. Sure, he created commendable activity. I am sure his definition of Audio implies 6 moths of administra...

OK, I think I need to help to poor Rakesh to sell his Fanes. If he do not find his 50 buyers then he will be suffer from need to buy all of them as the ugly Fane people will not give him a break, selling o him as many drivers as he has managed t...

Romy, are you going to verify the decision of using fragile vintage drivers?E.g. by trying JBL midbass drivers?They would be closer to the design philosophy of the Fane Studio 8M.http://www.jblpro.com/components/maxout.htm#2020H...

I am tracking down some pretty solid leads for genuine fane recone kits for studio 8M and 10B 16 ohm.just thought i would get this out there,might be useful for someone who would like to convert 8 ohm to 16 ohm or for safety longterm backup.i am sure...

Anyhow, it is interesting how the new 25 users that get those Studio 8M will use them. I wish something “new” would derive from all of it…[/quote]Speaking only for myself, I am planning to use the Fane 8M in a pair of 11...

[quote user="Jorge"]I guess it would be simple enough to add a couple of inches in order to bring the throat down to 4" in order to try the Studio 8M. I have already reduced it temporarily to 3" in order to try the JBL 2490h compression driver. ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I wonder: does it mean that you will take the rest 28 drivers? Hm, are you trying to research the subject of the drivers’ critical mass or become a speaker maker? Be careful with their claims that they will be “manufactured...

[quote user="ulf"] Well, it was not really a surprise to us that the horn without the phase plug was dissapointing. Without the plug we had a horn that was a bit too short, had too large front cavity and less compression than we desired. [/quote]

Thanks for the detailed answers. I will explain my setup.You are right about the dipole bass correction instead of the injection channel. Since I am waiting for both a subwoofer and the Fane Studio 8M and their horn, I am using the 12" as a b...

[quote user="anthony"]It is a compression driver with an 8" cone. If you want authority at 300Hz you will need diaphragm area. The Fane Studio 8M that Romy and plenty of others use for 100Hz up to 1kHz is an 8" cone driver on a 4" throat with a clo...

I'm giving myself high fives today for nearly solving the broken piano sound in the room. :-)I'm not sure what fixed it, but I believe it to be a shelf half filled with records + two sofas and a carpet.There is room for improvement but it is a g...

[quote user="Ronnie"] I was under the impression that you did not at all electrically roll off the upper bass, and that the small throat would do all the (kinky) low passing. [/quote]
Nope I did roll of the upper bass channel as my driver goes all t...

The old Fane had no money to comeback, apparently someone took them over, I wonder who. The new Fane drivers? I know nothing about them. I did not know the old Fane drivers. I have only 24” woofers, 5M and 8M. The CRESCENDO series was available with ...

[quote user="serenechaos"] By “midbass horn” I’m talking about a horn with about a flare frequency of about 60 Hz, to use with Fane 8” drivers, to start with.
(Was planning to use this horn from wherever it sounded best, try...

Hi Romy,You wrote:"They tunes for 115Hz and pushed in room down to ~95Hz one channel and 150Hz another."So do your horns have 115Hz flare frequency? (and have the rear chamber tuned for 115Hz as well)From the pictures the horns lo...

As I mentioned above, I talked to the manager of Fane International and asked for further assurances in writing that these new drivers would use exactly the same parts as the vintage drivers. I am quoting from the email, and I hope this will provide...

Last time we wrote you thought I should focus less on tweeters and more on midbass.I am not done yet, but I have found a very nice midbass solution. Somewhat unorthodox, maybe.I have come to love police sirens! Without having A/B compared it to a pai...

[quote user="oxric"] You have often questioned the nature of my relationship with Fane. There is none but as this project comes close to a final conclusion, I would say there have been moments when Fane have been less than helpful. They had never men...
