Welcome to the site. So how do you like them?? What version are they?? They look like the -2's, is that a paper ductcap or a painted aluminum??

I wonder why so many single driver guys putz around with screechy Fostexes instead of using LE-8s or 755s. Cost? Ignorance? Herd mentality?

The best sounding Fostex IMO was the FX-200 which looked VERY LE-8ish. No longer made, go figure.

this is the costing problems

because single driver no need crossover device!


3way 4 way and 6 way are good but money ($$$$$$)

Hello Tom,

I'm not a SIngle driver guy- but I know plenty of them from the Lowther Club in Melbourne. In Australia, the LE8 seems to be difficult to find. Also some of the other full range drivers have higher sensitivities which is preferred by the SET/Low power crowd. To me the LE8 would be better although not as high in efficency, but better LF extension and that JBL punch. As an aside- I gave one of my single driver (Lowther addicted) friends a listen to an unbaffled LE5-2 with 200Hz high pass- he liked it. Maybe an extended 2 way experiment one day.

For anyone who knows- I would be interested to know if the Dual COne (whizzer) equipped LE8 are genuine JBL. I have never seen any of these in JBL spec sheets, but I have seen some on eBay.

Hello zzzz Kendall,

Congrats on your project- it shows a nice addiction to construction quality. Can you tell us the cabinet wall thickness?
