Dang right cool. I brought them home tonight and I'm using them in my home office driven by my Bottlehead SEX amp and supplemented by my Triska DIY sub.
Very pleasant and full, they image like crazy.
Many thanks to the Grand Master Ejfud!!!

Ah, a Triska sub w/ Fonkens. Just the combo I'm working on.
Are you using the PE recommended plate amp on the Triska? It's the XO in the plate amp that caused me to start the Fonken build because that plate amp doesn't cross as low as it says; which left me thinking it would work w/ the Fonkens, since they are more bass challenged than my FE108eSig Metronomes.
And in any event, how is the Triska blending w/ your Fonkens?
Inquiring minds want to Know!
Cheers, Jim

Actually the Triska works really well! Yes, I am using the PE/Dayton plate amp recommended in the DIY/projects section.
The triska doesn't "hit", it simply fills in the bottom in a nice, unobtrusive way.
I'm still "demoing" the setup, but so far I love it. With properly produced material, the imaging can be stunning.

"Point source" imaging. The beauty of the single driver. :yes:
Glad you're liking those, Jeff. I saw them over at Gary's place and they are really cool looking!
Have you seen his setup? He's got all the imaging cards played...single driver, nearfield, and setup almost like big headphones. I'll bet they take imaging to new heights.

See for yourself. Except swap in a Bottlehead SEX amp for the Bel Canto, and the Fonkens for Sequerras. The other speaker is in the bookcase in the foreground of the picture.

I haven't made the trip to that side of town yet. Jeff's got some pretty nice toys over there that I need to hear in person sometime. :yes:
Quoted for truth.
Jeff, if you've got the SeX on the Fonkens (fonken sex?) what are you doing for the Cornwalls? 'Course they're about sensitive enough to run straight off your ipod.

Right now I'm running Redboy's Dolly clone of an Olson EL84 amp.

Sounds nice, almost up to the level you experienced with Cornwall sex.
(cough)
Ah, the MNAK loaner program seems to be working out well.
BTW, you need bigger ports.
