Fostex FE108E Sigma
Comments: We borrowed this from Ed at the Horn Shoppe and as far as I can tell, he has the world's supply by virtue of buying up all he can get. This is one of the smaller units of the latest editions of the Fostex banana fiber cones. An obvious comparison would be to the similarly sized Lowther DX55. The DX55 has much higher efficiency and a more detailed top, the Fostex counters with slightly better bass extension. Madisound sells them for $85/each. At that price, it's easy to check it out for yourself. I gather that it really prefers a rear-loaded horn, not a sealed box, but you can use it either way with good results. Note: I did not get a picture of the FE108E Sigma but it looks just like the FE208E Sigma so I simply shrank a picture of that.
