I am glad that you mention your use of 120A. I never heard it (consciously) and I bought it juts due to advice of 3 people, one of them was the guy who sold them. I have no idea what to expect from them but I think they shall not be too bad. I asked people about the 120A’s ability to care the ”absolute tone” about the ability to play loud but they do not comprehended what really I was asking. Well, the only think to get the right answers is figure out myself, I will. It looks like the Budanization treatment shall emptive further the 120A’s sound. I have no personal experience but I think it might work out. The guy from planet10-hifi looks like has a lot of experience with those drivers and he knows what he does. I do not know what his definition of “good sound” and where his reference points are but I do not think that whatever he does with the d rivers would hurt them. He claims a lot of different advancement after his treatment – will why not, it is high possible that he is correct.

My thoughts about the 120A are following. It most likely will be linear but with so typical for those drivers mechanic-like transients with some sense of hyper-resolution. I think that I might trey to battle it witch putting the RAAL driver in the game at HF and unloading the HF from the Fostex dome. It might work or might not – the Fostex might have a self sufficient HF, at least good-enough for the MiniMe objectives.

I do not think that Fostex 120A will play loud and it will most likely compress above 90dB as any other bad drivers. I think the compression will be due to soft cone exertion where the bend of the drivers will minimize the operational surface. People drive it all the way down but I will not and I will cross it relatively high, let say 500Hz and use a smallish box. By thin I will extend the power handling and possible ennoble it to play a bit louder.

Those are all speculation, let see how it goes. Floobydust, if you feel to express any critiques of the direction that I am planning to go with 120A then please do so. The driver will be her in a month or so…
