Speaker upgrades

Post by Craigm1992 »

Hi All

I see that Forgebear has some mato speakers for sale on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/381744545278? ... EBIDX%3AIT

I was just wondering, I have an IBU2 board in my tiger 1 and was wondering if getting these or similar speakers would result in a better sound. I remember a previous topic about a similar question where buying upgraded speakers were better if you had a better board.

Or if I'm using the tpa amp a or similar it's either 2 of the above or if there is room I go for these

You have to build your own boxes/mountings though

I totally echo that from Del. I have tried a lot of various speakers and the Visaton are all around fantastic. Especially the FRS-8 with
a nice air tight enclosure-really has a great deep bass sound.
