Hi Jaime,

I want to build a ORIS 200 enclosure but the AER drivers are very expensive
for me. I can buy a pair Fostex FE206ES-R but securely I lost a lot in> quality. This is correct?

I have had a Fostex FE206ES-R and used it just for a short impression in an OB. This is not the place such a speker should be used but it shows that the Fostex can't have the frequency response Fostex tell you. It has a sweet sound but the resulution is not very good and you will need a supertweeter I think. After I recognised that, I send it back to the dealer. The ES-R was tested in KlangundTon and my guess was proved. It has some strong resonances and at 15khz the sensitivity starts to decrease.
Better should be the Audio Nirvana 8 and the price is less than half of the Fostex. I did not heard the Audio Nirvana but it was tested in a german diy magazin (hobyhifi)wich I trust very much. It has a good f.r. up to 20 khz, high sensitivity, few resonances and was the recommendation for hornspeaker. It should fit to an Oris but I am not sure. I think Bert can tell you that.

greetings Adrian
