[quote user="tuga"]I can't find a/the post(s) where you describe the advantages of using a 4 inch throat. Stereo-lab makes both 4 and 8 inch throat 140Hz horns but I don't think they could make an 8 to 4 inch adapter... [/quote]

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Back when Fane were still in business, I ordered a pair in 16O (I don't know if there is a theoretical best choice between the two for horn loading... Any thoughts ? However, the 8O model will require a smaller coil in th...

[quote user="Jorge"]Using the Fane 8M is interesting mainly if I get a better sound, Gravitas and size![/quote] Well, the “promised” the gravitas and size but it need to understood that it will not be coming from fane for from extra length of the ho...

I built a prototype of a Avantgarde Trio in newspaper and tape, with the Beyma CP380/M, Community M200, and the Fane S 8M, and I also used a Behringer CX3400 and a 45 tube amp. CX3400 is soon replaced by digital active XO.Paper may have made the midb...

[quote user="be"]Both the Fane and the Goto where used as compression drivers, so there where no principal differences of use. [/quote]
Wow, who made such experiment? Bring this person to my forum, it would be interesting to interview him! I still d...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]Do I understand correctly: AG used Fane 8Ms in the Trios upper bass horn?[/quote] Oh, no! AG in Trio’s upperbass horn used similar 8” driver with 103 sensitivity. That driver was bad and it made me to look for a replacemen...

BTW, in the end of it’s live Fane tied to do flat loudspeakers. The try to convince that it was not the computer-grade but the real deal. Conceptually, if it properly implemented (a big opened question) then the flat design might be very interesting ...

I take it back, 100Hz is pushing it regarding horns and compression drivers I know of. I can't imagine a compression driver reaching the midbass muscle of the Fane S 8M. And I don't see why one should try, when the Fane reaches 120Hz so effortlessly....

but I'm not going to compete with "S2 people " Following recommendation of John Hasquin I ordered B&C 21EP8 -16 . I'm cured form Fane for a time being and don't have S2 but "obsolete " altec 288c 24 Ohm on 400Hz horn . I was counting ...

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...

[quote user="oxric"] As to why people are interested in the 16 ohms drivers, that is only true of some. The idea is that if the Vitavox S2s are being used, and a single amplifier to drive the different channels, it seems to make sense to go for 1...

[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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I am glad that Fane “now found … that they have sufficient old stock of the 8 ohms or 16 ohms voice coils to”. Such a phenomenal discovery of the British archeologists. Can you ship them here in US, they can help us to fin...

Jorge,I would hope that the specifications of the Fane 8M drivers would not depart from the specifications of the old 8Ms that you have helpfully attached here. I just sent the pdf file to your email directly, not having seen that you had posted it h...

I'm picking this up from the "Living Voice Loudspeaker" thread http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=2&postID=11765#11765and placing it here, as further discussion will take us off the original thread :Romy wrote :"...I reme...

[quote user="be"]I shold make it clearer:The Goto was used in a Goto 150Hz horn, crossed at 180Hz.I guess that is a proper implementation for Goto.The Fane was in a 140Hz tractrix horn with a 10cm throat and a not optimised (to large ) back chamber, ...

Someone contacted me earlier and expressed an interest in three pairs of Fane 8M drivers. After Romy posted his comments above, this person came back to let me know that Romy might be right and he would rather not rush into it. I have...

i have vitavox S2 and also altec 288c.i am trying to source the fane studio 8m,just missed a pair by 1 day on uk diy.until i get the fane and make a horn for it,i will use altec 515c in vot.i also have jbl 2405.yes i will definitely build the full ra...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] If you've tried both, and decided to keep the 16R versions, you've answered a question I've had for quite a while; I too use the 16R version, but have always wanted to try a pair of 8Ms with 8 Ohm coils (should have o...

I’m not convinced at this point that it is good – I need to see it more in context of everything else - but the initial results are very promising. What I do now, I keep the compression Fane 8M in horn but I very dramatically increase dumping of it...

The Delta Pro-8B looks like a very fine driver, in fact on the paper it is even better then Fane (with exception of sensitivity and inductance) The problem is that no one knows how this driver will sound until it is loaded into a specific horn, no o...
