Another potential driver for the short-list is the new budget Alpair the CHR70These are freah to the market and little is known about them. They are relatively cheap thou. I sent an inquiry to get a pair today.dave

A driver I could be content with as in my main system.I've not done a new speaker project for a couple of years. My Japanese pull saw is anxious to slice wood. Love the fragrance of fresh cut woods. It looks like an Alpair might be a likable choice, but can't decide between the 6 or the 10--better treble or more bass?FWIW, based on what I've heard from the little CHR70's, I'd put my money on the Alpair 10s (of course with my HF hearing loss , I'd likely not miss much of any advantage the 6 might have over the 10) Mark - I certainly your reaction to SRB's "blanket" statement (pun intended) - my own impression of the CSS FR125 is in comparison to the Fostex FE127E & FE126E, neither of which can be described as "shy violets" in the 3-10K range. Sensitivity difference aside, I personally find the Fostex more "alive" in this area, quite possibly for the aforementioned reason.
