Welcome to AK.
thanks the FE 103-SOL:s are a treat. Both me and my girlfriend like to sit down and just listen to music, it is very minimalistic but that gives the music all the space it needslooks very peaceful, speakers are jewels- perfect for the space.

Thanks wonderful! A one-way-homei BTW me an my girlfriend will build a 300B SE amp next year. There's something about the one tube to one driver that i really likeAnyone with full range single driver speakers is welcome here. We're definitely in the minority.

Oooh, and there's one more. The speaker build of the STAG-103 SOL is on Pintrest if you or someone else is curious.
I've seen them but not heard them yet. Sems like a brilliant speaker and a really great project Mr Poultrygeist, may i ask. Have you heard the FE 103:s with a tube amp? I heard that thay play nice with one another.I built the Fostex FE126En Frugal Horns a few years ago and play them daily. I think you'd enjoy them as well and they are a bit more sensitive than the 103's.

Hello Jim! i think the FE 103:s are a bit picky about what amp they are hoked up to. But I guess you have tried a bunch, thats my guess anyway. I'm satisfied with the mid while driving the 103EN:s with my old 3020i although a recap and probably new power transistors would be in orderJohanfull,
I would be very curious to hear your impressions of the 103SOL vs the 103en. I have never heard the SOL version, but I have tried using the FE103en in boxes (sealed & Metronome) and OB (over Eminence Alpha15a). My initial impressions of the 103en were positive, but with time, there is something in the mid-range that annoys me. Not exactly a 'boxy' sound, but something just not quite right. And I am definitely a Fostex fan, having used FE108eSigma, FE127e, FF85K, FE167e, F120a, and FF225wk in various builds and been quite happy with them.
Cheers, Jim
Got itYes they sound great but at 89 dbs I'd recommend a 300 b or push pull amp.
