Christopher Witmer with his upcoming US show initiated a new wave of Feastrex propaganda. I have mention Christopher in context of his Maxonic drivers before:

Christopher suggests ...

Chris, I certainly did not mean “costs nothing" in the literal sense. I meant that it costs as much as any other driver to make that Feastrex. Come on! If it is an electromagnetic driver then how much does it cost to make a few pounds of core (even i...

I don´t wonder at all that they achieved the best results with traditional Washi and not with modern paper. The only material that comes close is Nepali Lokta paper. And labour cost are near to nothing there. Would be funny to fight against...

Its interesting to see that RAAL are now representing Feastrex for many countries in Eastern Europe. I wonder if they intend to create something using both types of driver!...

I'll try to make some comments on Feastrex Sound in this post. It is always difficult for me to isolate the sound of the individual parts I want to analyze. Like in this thread, which has partly evolved into the effect of all pe...

I wrote a few weeks ago a typically-pissed article about hypocrisy and lie in audio and how you, the fools, allow it exists in audio, despite that we would hardly permit it to exist in our “out of audio live”. I did not posted this article yet but an...

I have looked at the Feastrex website. The picture you show is of one of their permanent magnet drivers. This uses their Naturflux magnetic circuit. Mr Akiyama's quote also refers to one of these permanent magnet drivers so you shouldn't be atta...

I had once visited these sites:
"We make two different sizes of drivers: 5 and 9 inch. As can be expected, the 9 inch has a larger sound, the 5 inch has a slightly greater finesse in the high frequencies. Please choose according to your room size, ...

I was pointed out to me that my Feastrex thread is mapped to the search engines and some folks searching for limited information about Feastrex find given thread as some kind of reference. It is important to point of that I had juts one and juts mome...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] You do make me laugh sometimes! You really do seem to have problems in seeing the merits in anything if it doesn't fully satisfy the very particular performance criteria you set. As a species such inflexibility wouldn't al...

[quote user="haralanov"]Romy, the main driver in this acoustic system has nothing to do with the funny Lowthers. It is very high class field coil speaker unit made by Oleg Rullit. The owner of the system has tried the highest class of the Feastrex li...

OK, thanks. I would leave for others to decide what the “higher resolution image” might mean. It might be some kind of untranslatable Japanese folklore. The more vibrant color palette is definably a valid accomplishment, no one knows through if it is...

Thanks, tuga, I never visited Feastrex site, in fact I thought that it is not available in English. In reality the Feastrex site is fine and gives quite eloquent information about Feastrex product and the Feastrex views. In the Testimonial...

[quote user="cdwitmer"] If Very Knowledgeable Guy ever had an opportunity to do a listening comparison between a Feastrex Type II field coil driver, which has a Fe main yoke with a Fe49–Co49–V2 pole piece and a Fe49–Co49–V2 top plate, and a Feastrex ...

Robert,
I think you completely misunderstood my comment and my complain about the high price of the Feastrex drivers. Chris Widmer does not understand it as well not to mention that his attempt to explain the high price of Feastrex sound too b...

Ok, Chris, I will take a bite. I do agree that some of my judgments, particularly those that violate the other people’s desire to hear specific agreeable things from me, do derive from my inherent character defects. However, my handicap judgment perm...

well, i believe that the popularity of the better fostex tweeters comes from their typical, off-shelf sound which is soft and easy on ear in comparison with super-resolunt Ti or Be diaphragm equipped competition. they very much suit any sharpness com...

Romy, I was asking questions here, and @ RMAF because I'm trying to gather enough information to build compression drivers. At my day job I am a prototype machinist at Los Alamos National Lab. I don't plan on going into production, j...

[quote user="cv"] I think the main advantage of the EM is reducing flux modulation. There was a post recently by one of the attendees who went with Feastrex claiming that Dr Kilppel (of famous measurement tools suite) measured one of their drivers an...

John Sheerin? I have come across what this character does on-line. I am not familiar with him personally but I am NOT a big fun of what he does. He moves his hands in space and sometimes as the resume of his hands moment some horn are built up. H...
