Fostex FE206En Double Bass-Reflex Speakers

Fans of low power tube amps love high-sensitivity full-range drivers like the 200 mm Fostex FE206En and with good reason.  The drivers are relatively inexpensive, they sound good and they do not require a crossover.  The main reason for the fan fare is because of their high sensitivity (96 dB / 1 W / 1m), which makes them ideal for use with very low power amplifiers.  However, the high sensitivity and wide frequency bandwidth of the driver come at a cost – a very low mass paper cone and a tiny excursion (Xmax=0.8 mm).  This adds up to mean that extracting bass from the Fostex FE206En is often a challenge.  The common solution to this challenge is a large back-loaded horn type enclosure.

Fostex FE206En Back-Loaded Horn Speaker Enclosures 

The problem is that these elaborate back-loaded horn type enclosures often require a skilled woodworker to construct.  The Fostex FE206En driver datasheet also include a recommended enclosure plan for a suitable bass-reflex type enclosure which is far easier to construct.  Mark has built a couple sets of the Fostex FE206En double bass-reflex speakers and reports that the simple enclosure works well with the FE206En full-range driver.

Since Mark will be using the speakers as part of his home theater setup, undercoating paint was used for a stipple like flat black and non-reflective finish.  Mark reports that the speakers are an excellent mate for use with his 6EM7 SET amp.  Full details are available on the Fostex FE206En Double Bass-Reflex Speaker project page.
