Even the least expensive Audio Nirvana 8 inch model--the 'Super 8 Ferrite'--has a bigger magnet, lighter cone, better surround and spider materials, cast aluminum frame, and much safer packaging than the Fostex FE206En--and costs much less. Audio Nirvana also makes the world's only true 10, 12, and 15 inch full-range speakers (starting at only $298/pr with free shipping). You can visit the Audio Nirvana page on our site (www.commonsenseaudio.com) to find out more.
The reason they can cost less than Fostex is that they're built in our own factory. Audio Nirvana are the best sounding speakers in the world--at any price. We're over 20,000 pairs sold, in 15 years--with 100% money back guarantee. We've only had 7 pairs returned.
