What about a good mid/full range speaker?
What would you want from a dedicated HT line?

We're just in infancy as far as talks of an entire line...but we'll see where the road takes us.
Hugo, That can definitely be done, ideally what would you be looking for?

Lately I've been checking out the rear loaded horns on the frugal horn site. Most of their designs use fostex speakers. Maybe a driver along the lines of a fostex. One with a weezer cone would be cool, nostalgic sort of. 
I'm not a connoisseur by any means, I'm just digging the looks of a horn enclosure right now. I know its not for everyone. Thank for the chance to give some input. Fi makes great subs, I figure you guys could do wonders with the rest of the frequency range.

With our new measurement system that we've came up with the higher frequency stuff isn't going to be an issue. We'll see what happens as time progresses..
Any other input from others? I'm all ears.

I have always been a fan of wide range drivers... truly there isnt a full range driver within any sort of realistic use out there. My computer speakers are wide range horn loaded 3" drivers with a bottom cut off of 55 Hz. I have designed several wide band drivers and if things ever settle down and I get free time to play in the lab Id love to turn the laser scanning vibrometer on a full range driver. It would give me a huge advantage over how I designed and tweaked the older drivers.
But... In all honesty Fi will probably stay a sub only company. Im not opposed to another company that caters to some more esoteric drivers, but I really dont think it is in line with what Fi is about.

Okay, how about this. A pro-audio style sub for the horn crowd? Strong single slug motor & a light weight cone? Something with a shallow mounting depth. Fi has the sealed and ported box crowd covered, with the Q and the SSD. The IB crowed is as happy as they can be with the IB2 & IB3. What about the horn people. The folks at DIYAudio seem to be into this Tapped Horn setup. Me, I'm thinking about trying it. So how about it?

Holy thread resurrect Batman! How about a neo-magnet sub? So I dont have to bust my back moving the thing when I'm cleaning the carpet. Just a thought.

how about some 8", 10", 12", & 15" midbass woofers for DIY speaker building.
Something very very efficent (100+DB), very clean sounding, Light weight stiff cone, with a shallow mount. (Maybe the magnet infront like the old Illusion audio car midbasses)
