Richard, ... Panasonic WM-61A connected to the Wallin Preamp. ... Sigh. I tried for years to do measurements on the cheap. Never had decent results. I used...
Richard, I forgot to answer one of your questions. Yes, you can eliminate the BSC filter if you use DSP to do the contouring. Another reason to use Foobar2000...
Hi Bob, Im looking for a nice sounding Monitor speaker. What do you have for sale for demo or assembled speakers and at what price? Do u have something which ...

Carl, I have two nice monitors, the FB-16 and the FB-20. See the Products page at my web site : Brines Acoustics <http://www.geocities.com/rbrines1/> I will...
I was shocked and surprised to find that Yahoo! closed the Geocities site that has hosted my web site for the last 10 years. Oh, well. The new web site is...
For 2-channel music, I set the sub XO to 40Hz. This fills down to ~20Hz with my sub in my room. Once the frequency reaches the point where a 1/2 wave length...
Thanks Bob, I thought you mentioned before to set it at 40Hz. I had it set to between 40-50 Hz when the room was reacting. It was with vinyl that can get...
Hi Bob I'll just start by saying I am still really pleased with my 1600s! But...If I were to change something it would be the top end. The speakers sound very...
Richard, The only cheap tweak that I can think of is to bypass the BSC filter with a 1-2uF capacitor. That will give you more output at the top. However, if...
Thanks Bob I might try the cap tweak first as the tweeters are going to cost the best part of a £100. Can I bypass at the speaker posts or do I need to add...
Richard, The cap goes across the resistor and inductor. Solder it across the resistor. Use at least a good polypropylene cap. at these low values, a film and...
Hi Bob I have another one for you ;) I have noticed when playing a couple of tracks with deep bass lines, and at a slightly higher volume the bass appears to...
Richard, I am not sure I know what you mean by "oscillation". If it only happens in a few select spots in your room, I suspect that your problem is room...
... Hi Bob Its really hard to describe the warble/oscillation as its a strange sound. It would be hard to replicate if I were to speak to you on the phone, and...
Hello Bob I will hold off tweeter and capacitors mods as Ive just built another amp and now the speakers are sounding better than ever. There must have been...
Hi, I built a pair of MLTL 4 years ago and need to add a center channel for watching movies - I dislike faux matrixed center channel solutions. I would like it...

I use a pair of FT-1600's for my HT mains, a pair of FE167E's in up-firing BR's for rears, and 10" Peerless sub for the bottom. I personally prefer the phantom...
I'm planning a FT-2000 build for a rather awkward installation which necessitates placing the cabinets horizontally rather than floorstanding vertically. Do...
I find that the best toe-in is with the speakers poined at the opposite shoulder -- that is the right speaker pointed at the left shoulder and vis versa. From...
Matt, The only speaker I have that would work with the FT1600 is the FB-16 BR. It could be laid on its to reduce the height. For what its worth. I prefer a...
Fostex has discontinued the FE167E and FE207E drivers. When the current supply of these drivers is exhausted, the FB-16, FT-1600 MkII, FB-20 and FT-2000...
Bob, I am amazed that fostex is killing the 167e - mine have served me well for years (FT-1600 Mk1 with broom handle cross braces and later the MK2) I've since...

Wow, I'm surprised Fostex is discontinuing the 167E too. There has to be some kind of substitute out there. I very much like my FT1600II's. Will a Lawther DX3...
Russell, The supposition is that LCD and plasma TV's are not affected by magnetism and therefore shielding is an unnecessary expense. That's fine as far as it...
Den, The DX3 based LT-2000 MkII is only slightly bigger (fatter, actually) than the FT-1600 MkII. The DX3 has a decidedly different sound than the FE167E....
