I've decided to go forward with my first speaker project. I hope to use the speakers with a lower powered tube amp so I'm leaning towards the Fostex drivers, either FE126En, FE166En, or FE206En.
There are several enclosure options detailed here and elsewhere, and what I need help with is narrowing down the field. I have lots of experience with plywood, so difficulty level is not a concern. I listen to primarily rock, alternative, and electric.
The FE206En with their recommended Back-Loaded Horn looks like fun, but do people prefer the Double Bass Reflex Type Enclosure?
The FE126En is more cost effective and the Frugel-Horn Mk3 looks really nice, but will it have enough bass?
Is the FE166En a good balance between the two?
I'm hoping their is someone out there who has experience with the various enclosures and can steer me in the right direction.
Thanks!
