I have a pair of fostex 4 inch full range drivers but need a nd bought a sub.After I got all set up I learned about the hemp speakers and plan to buy a pair of there 4 or 6 inch drivers they go for about $120 for a pair of 4 inch and I think $180 for the 6 inch. I drive my fostex with a single ended pentode amp (5 watts) and they go plenty loud they are rated at 95db. I feel that they my fostex sounds so good that I will be very pleased with a pair of hemps.If not I can either use them as outside speakers or basement speakers or sell them easily for $100 dallors more than what went into them.You don't have to worry about the enclosures,just make a small airtight box,put in some filling,speakers posts,cut out one hole screw in the speaker paint the box black and your set!! I bought a used sub on the gon for $125 so total is under $400,a pair of omega's will put you back about 7-8 hundred so diy and be happy and proud! Good luck! Nick
What are best hi efficiency speakers under $1000?
I'm moving soon and will need to change my setup a bit. I'm using a Luminescence preamp with a vintage Luxman tube amp. I listen to a lot of records and I love the sound of this system. For about 17 years, I've listened to this system with a pair of 46 year old Bozak "Urban" speakers. They've got a great big sound, but they are big physically too (24" x 24" x 20"). I need to get a bit smaller, at least in width. I need to find something that is efficient due to my rig, and can still deliver a big sound (10" or 12" woofer would be good here). I'm okay with buying used also - preferrably under $1,000. I've considered Klipsch Heresys, but I've never heard these. Any suggestions on decent speakers that conform to this profile? thanks for any help in this regard...
