What a surprise! These 4" Fostex FE126EN DIY desktop speakers sound very good in a main room. A 10" Wharfedale SW150 sub supplements the bass. Imaging is very decent. Quite understandably it is not a bass monster. The grin factor is ear-to-ear.

Sun Audio by Rene Rivo.

Luis, nag head-fi muna ako ulit until I got the sound I wanted. Then attacked the main room again with a solid reference.

I bought the supertweeter that way from Allington Audio on ebay. I have no xover specs. It is single order and I believe i chose the 17khz point among 15, 17,22 if I remember right.
