I run the 18" up to 350 or 400 now (can’t remember which without looking in Najda under control software) crosses to sub via Najda at 60 Hz.
Fane (it’s a Colossus XB) quote a usable frequency range of 35 to 1k so well within comfort zone. I run them off a bridged pair of Crown xli1500 amps giving about 900W into 8 Ohms with a decent damping factor. Something very right about big drivers, well under control moving a lot of air with minimal cone movement. They are quoted at 99dB at 1 M.
Running something above them like Pete’s Landfill Olympians or the Altecs that Edd was mocking up in cad a few weeks ago appeals (although not the price of the YL drivers!)
I think those the drivers that someone covers in dots by hand (and charges considerably more than a none dotted version). I remember what they’re called shortly, i hope.
What do they sound like?
Detail, speed and transparency like you wouldn’t believe. Very good imaging.
A bit bass light, as you would expect, although my room is so small that this isn’t as big an issue as you might think.

Yep, that’s it.
Complete and entirely resplendent with it’s very own 3 chamber Fibonacci horn cabinet 
No I just remember when it first appeared, have chatted about it with Stephan who imports the Mark audio drivers in the past.
It was a pair of Frugelhorns with Alpair 10 drivers that I owned that got me interested in these.
I’ve no doubt they’re a very engaging listen, esp in a small room.
Not sure i buy into the dots, but wevs.
Frugal horns = good
Drivers that use tippex and felt tip marks with enclosures based on Fibonacci = Peter Belt levels of bonkers.

All full range drivers should be burnt. (Unless used as a mid)

Incredible in many ways Graham.
If I could find the “Enhance Bass” button they would be my perfect speaks.
Just need a pair of small bk subs and dsp ftw.

Don’t think I could disagree with a word of that.
They do sound very good though.
