Try www.audiocomponents.nl

I'd suggest you might want to re-examine your driver choices tho...

Thanks, Okay, enlighten me as to drivers to suit a 25 litre ceramic box in the shape of a large planter pot. Okay, it IS a planter pot. javascript:emoticon(':oops:')

I just don't think those drivers are particularly good value, especially if you don't have a crossover designed specifically for your cabinet.

Since you're in Japan, why not try a Fostex driver? Should be easy to get hold of. The FX200 is highly spoke of on the fullrange forum. You can do the modeling for yourself using Unibox.

For a more conventional design, it would be interesting to try making a version of the Ellis 1801 maybe. Dave Ellis has a forum here, you could ask him about whether it would be feasible.

Thanks John. Point taken. As I am a newbie, I am all (':?') to all suggestions. The pot rocks, though!

fostex fe206e and fe166e look pretty nice and are well spoken of as well, and much cheaper units

(this speaks of the fe204, basically the same thing)

You may want to try this place too, but I agree that the Revelators are $$$, especially the new tweeter.
