Tweeters for Fostex FE168EZ or Hemp 6.5 in BLH?
« on: 14 Jul 2015, 09:51 am »
I want to try tweeters for my back-loaded horns on Fostex FE168EZ. Now I use in this enclosure Hemp drivers, similar to these, but the basket as the Omega 6.5 drivers

What tweeters a try? Fostex T90A, T900A, T925A, T500A? May be JBL 2405?
Any recommendations?
Thank you

Leaving aside the fact that the Fostex FE168Esigma back-horn is something of a mismatch with the hemp drivers mentioned, according to their specs. at least (to each their own & all that), it really depends how much you want to spend, and the nature of the crossover you're planning on.

What I can say is that I like the T900a; it's an excellent performer, but comes a rather hefty price. The T90a is also quite good -not as good as the T900a, but being a cheaper model, you wouldn't expect it to be. At slightly less rarefied levels, you might want to look at the gold-dome Audax, or some of the pro-audio units available.

You might contact Madisound and ask about the Fostex supertweeters and crossover that they used to use on the BK16.  Or tell them what you are using and ask for a recommendation.
