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....
Folks, I have had too many spam posts lately. So.... Effective immediately, I am enforcing moderation. I will approve of all posts prior to inclusion. In the...
Hello there! I have being making ported enclosures for about ten years. I used to do it commercially while I was in engineering school and now I make them as a...
Hi, y'all, I just posted this information as a "Late Revision" on the web site. I am open to questions and comments. Bob ... I have received the new FE166En...
Uncle Dudley, Well, the 1808 takes a BIG box. I had a fellow ask the same question in private emails. The solution was a 100L MLTL -- 48"x10"x12" driver 12"...
... Thanks Bob, I sent the same question regarding the 1808 to TB and here's their response: type: vented box shape: prism, square ( optimum ) Vb = 65 liters ...
Uncle Dudley, I posted a file comparing a 65L box and a 100L box. The 65L box will be punchier while the 100L box goes lower. The real problem with boxes this...
Hi Bob I thought I would give this mod a go. For ease of use can I place a 1uf cap across the speaker terminals, or do I need to bypass the BSC internally? ...
Richard, The cap goes across the resistor/inductor of the BSC filter. Yes, you will need to remove the driver. You might consider leaving the filter outside...
I have acquired two pair of these drivers (nicknamed BOFU). This si an inexpensive 8" driver ($40 each, on sale for $19) that works in the FT-2000 cabinet. I...
I have updated the web site to reflect current models. The FB-20 is gone. In its place, I have introduced the TB-20 BR which uses the Tang Band W8-1772 driver....
Dear Bob I am new here. I was wondering how one goes about obtaining plans to the above enclosure for use with the 1772? And what the price of a flat pack kit...
Go to the web site/TB-20 page and click the PayPal icon next to "Plans". You do not need to be a PayPal subscriber, I use them as my credit card clearing...
Andrew, I'm back at home. I was about to send the plans when I discovered an error. I need to fix a couple of the drawings. Not very professional, I know, but...
What tools and other equipment (besides the drivers) are needed to build a speaker from flats? I built a bird-house in the 7th Grade, but that was quite a...
John, Unfortunately, building a speaker from flats is a bit more challenging then building a bird house. What you need depends on how you go about assembling...
Bob, I think it would make more sense for me to spend this time music-making instead of speaker-making (I'm a cellist, my wife is a pianist). I was reading...
John, Indeed I have no experience with the DecWare products. I have heard good and ho-hum. If you choose to go this route, though, I would be happy to put the...
Mr. Brines, I happen to run across your web page regarding TQWT Cabinets as used for Lowther speakers. I am interested in building a pair of Lowther...
Len, It depends on what you want. A BLH will play louder than a MLTL, but won't go as deep. My speakers are ideal for girl-and-a-guitar, jazz trio, small band...
