[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...

Just a quick note.I tired a JBL 3" compression driver 2490h model with original Titanium diaphragms on a 120 hz Tacrix horn. I got a response down to 200 hz. How did it sound? It sounded good clear and transparent but it lacked a little tone imho...

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...

[quote user="oxric"] You have been watching too many movies and I would say you are a big fan of Tony Soprano.[/quote] Yes, I love the Sopranos series. It is a phenomenal comedy. [quote user="Jorge"]Do you have the specs for the new run from Fane?...

[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]

Decoud,Though I have a pair of 8Ms, I did some searching around for alternatives just to make sure I couldn't find something "better".Its not really a kosher approach, but my research was centered on vintage alnico drivers, origin...

Allo RomyOk, I managed to get my measurement setup running. Behringer ECM8000/PC soundcard kind of thing.I measured the following tweeters:Focal TLRTAD PT-R9Aurum Cantus G1Fane 5022I don't have an absolute level calibrator and I need to take time to ...

Angelo,Although the idea might be looks like an “elegant” at a hi-fi shows but unfortunately it has a lot of pitfalls, the terminal pitfalls for my point of view. This is only my opinion but still:1) LF channel- the bassmaxx. I never had or hear...

So you're the guy from Florida willing to pay premium for FANe and undercutting my deal. I originally bought them from him and was waiting for shipping and instead got this:"Went to try order a courier today for the Fane Studio 8M's and t...

Hello everyone,I have excellent news from Fane. After checking their old stock, they have now found and have confirmed that they have sufficient old stock of the 8 ohms or 16 ohms voice coils to offer everyone ordering a choice of 8 or 16 ohms.Qu...

Hello everyone:Fane Acoustics has agreed to produce a limited run of the now discontinued Fane 8M Studio drivers if a minimum order of 50 units can be filled. I am looking for firm expressions of interest for at least 22 pairs of drivers. If you are ...

Well, I do have 3 channels of DSEP. Dedicated Single Ended Pentode: one channel (bass/mid 30-500 Hz) with a 307A DH pentode feeding two wonderful Fane neodymium Colossus 12" - one from FS to 150 Hz and the second from FS to 500 Hz. OPT with a lot of ...

I have finished both big horns enough to listen in stereo, and the throats are now much smoother.I'm not using the MF horns, and have been listening all night. It has been a remarkable experience! (well, the inner-me objects and claims there's nothin...

[quote user="ayebee"] The horns that Stereo Lab make are very good, especially considering the relatively modest prices. I bought the "Ultra-Fi" version of the 140Hz horns and they are of course not completely free of resonance ….Present system consi...

Thanks for the thoughts on driver impedence.

[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...

Tonight I finished two
horns at once. One was a shortened Goto S-150 horn that now has a
Fane S 8M, without back chamber so far. Dimensions are now 1.1m deep, 11cm throat, 75cm mouth. It is replacing the Avantgarde
Trio midbass horn r...

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...

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, and no crossover ...

Dear Romy,OK, some more about the midbass.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 w...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] What really surprised me was how good everything sounded with no filter on the upper-bass horns, and all drivers connected to the same (8 Ohm) tap; sure I'm getting too much mid-range from the upper-bass horn, but its...

Congratulations on building and arriving at a place where you are happy. It is often difficult to know when to finish persuing something in life. I am sure you will enjoy litening to music more without listening out for areas you can improve on.Aside...

Gentleman.... I have available 2, NOS Fane 8M speakers. They have never been used and are still in their original packaging materials. I obtained these some years ago for a project which I did not pursue and would be interested in selling them. ...

[quote user="Ronnie"]I wish I could pin-point the frequencies and explain the effect better. I'll do my best.I want to cover my ears when a Pavarotti sings certain higher notes or some notes when Caballet sings pretty "comfortably".It's like bad PA h...

I was simulating the Fane S 8M in hornresp, your favourite program, and then I tried B&C 8PE21 and it was almost identical. Then I tried to simulate the 18Sound 8M400F and it went lower than both of them. Listening tests on youtube comparing the ...

Hello Rakesh,I might be interested in a pair or two of these drivers, not sure yet though.Do you have the specs for the new run from Fane?...

HI AllHas anyone one here have any experience with Yamaha 6681B. I have a good pair with working original diaphragms lined up. I will be looking at using them in a 400hz Le Cleac'h above a 100cm 160hz Horn, possibly with a Fane 8m from the current GB...
