Jorge,

I would hope that the specifications of the Fane 8M drivers would not depart from the specifications of the old 8Ms that you have helpfully attached here. I just sent the pdf file to your email directly, not having seen that you had posted it here already!

Personally, I think your question is a very fair one to ask. As I have indicated already, I am as confident as I can possibly be that Fane is a trustworthy company and that they would have been upfront if they were unable to replicate the 8M drivers. I have asked and obtained by email the reassurances which do satisfy me. If you (or Romy or anyone) have any qualms or doubts, I would urge you to contact Daniel Barnes or Susan Goodyear (production manager at Fane International) directly. They are very courteous, professional and will do their best to satisfy anyone's queries, or failing that put you in touch with the technical/engineering department.

Romy's comments, not coming from someone who has insider knowledge as to the manufacturing of these drivers, must be taken with a healthy pinch of salt. Why he seems so opposed to these drivers which are not even that expensive in the grand scheme of things (my 115Hz horns will cost me many many times the price of these drivers), when they are the best chance of obtaining the performance of the drivers that he currently enjoys in his upperbass horns (which he is the first to admit is quite remarkable) is slightly puzzling to say the least.

Best regards
Rakesh
