I think the smaller (4-6") Fostex drivers could sound great in a small bass reflex cabinet on a desk. Especially if you can augment with a decent subwoofer. That was going to be my next project actually. I can send you the FE126En that I used in my BLH if you pay for shipping.

Not familiar with the BMR tech but might be fun to play with.

Don't laugh. My kids could not stop laughing though.

One of these days, I'm gonna get EC or maybe piggyback with Schiit to show these speakers as is at T.H.E. SHOW.

The problem with these Lowthers is the 8kHz peakage and massive beaming. EQ sorta works, but the polar response is so foobar. I was working on a notch filter circuit, but decided to shelve that idea because it required an additional cap, coil, and resistor - something I was loath to do. I am running the TT more often, so I couldn't rely on digital EQ anymore.

Marv, are you using the rag to drive those speakers or using it as a pre-amp?

Using the Rag as a speaker amp right now. I had the Studio in last week, but I don't like leaving it around because of kids.
