I have no speakers for you any longer. I sold mine about six months ago to help finance a pair of Steve's FRX drivers. Yes, I built a pair of ZOBs a year ago, and mounted the Tang Band speakers. There was a waiting list for the FRX speaker. Rather than wait, I bought the TBs from Parts Express and mounted them. I was shocked at the outcome. First, the speakers actually worked. Next, they worked wonderfully! I promise that you will not be disappointed. The speakers have a marvelous voice, and express detail and dynamics like few others I have been able to afford. The FRX seem to smooth things out at the high end. Are they worth it? I guess maybe, but I think a sub-woofer adds more. I compare them favorably with my other speakers, a pair of Gallo 3.1. The gallos have a special ribbon type of driver for the highs that makes them as transparent as electrostatics. In this area they beat the ZOBs. However, I pulled the Gallos in favor of the ZOBs and then employed the bass speakers of the Gallos as a sub system for the ZOBs. I have never enjoyed my music so much. The are amped by a pair of Decware Super Zen Triodes. The result is a richness and as detailed presentation as I've ever heard, balance from the lowest lows to the highest highs. I tell you all of this so to prepare you for the pleasure your building experience will ultimately bring. I hope you can find a pair of TBs for your project. Keep me up to date on your progress, if you think of it. Lynn Davison
