Hi,

Has anyone here heard/audit FabulousAcoustics? They have FA1, FA2 and FA3

FA1 is the top range then FA3 then FA2

Apparently in Indo these FA are very popular and have won many competitions.

I went to their site http://www.fabulousacoustic.com , and there is no information the producst and specs. only wallpaper and contact us

I'm interested in the FA2 or FA3. FA1 is far far away from my pocket..

Anyone who has experienced with them, please give comments.

I heard ribbon tweeters are very fragile. Is this true?

pic of the FA2 tweeter...big, beautiful and I want them!!!



they don't come with passive crossovers.

So I'm planning to drive them actively with 4x150w

does anyone have FA speakers on their car that I can listen to? or maybe a demoboard?

ribbon tweeters sound amazing, a bit like ribbon microphones they pick up everything, there extremely good with delicate acoustic sounds.

but with tweeters due to there design have a small power handling so i guess you could say there fragile, certainly not for huge dynamic output but will make a quality instrament like say a cello,harp piano etc sound incredible

Never heard of them or seen them available in Aus. I imagine there probably isn't anywhere you can audition them first.

joy, if u want to listen to ribbon characterisitic i'd say go to home audio store specialist in your area and hope they have ribbon tweeter ready to audition.

with a name like fabulous, id say there korean or some cheap manufactured asian

I'm afraid u wrong my friend, the mid are made by Skaaning (father and son) themself which called Audio Technology, the highest series of FA uses speaker from AudioTechnology, the CQuenze cost around AUD600 each for 7 inch midbass, Flex unit cost a bit more. The Tweeter is Aurum Cantus ribbon and yes they are made from Asia, shandong (spell) to be exact, but don't let the location deceive you. Vifa OEM is located on China as well.

Audio Technology in Australia ----> to give u an idea of Audio Technology

Aurum cantus tweeter ----> the tweeter

Have a read at this ---> DIYMobileAudio Article on Ribbon Tweeters

I myself have been considering on using ribbons as well, but normally their sheer size kind of put me off as I am the type of person who prefers his tweeters to be mounted on the dash or a pillar. That is, until I found this website --> TEC Drivers. Unfortunately I cannot read Italian, so those who can please translate it for me...

The one planar tweeter I am very much interested in is their Surface TW. Those who couldn't be bothered to go to the website, here's a picture of it:



It may look large like any other ribbon or planar tweeters until I looked at its datasheet, and it's actually quite small (40mm x 78mm x 12mm)! Perfect for a-pillar installs! The only problem I see is that its recommended frequency range starts from 7 kHz, so I would need a mid that can go up to 7 kHz cleanly.

Cheers,

Bon

I heard that a blow from your mouth is enough to rip the ribbon .

A friend of mine can do that for you. Name is Google. He can be your friend too...

here is the mid of Fabulous Acoustic:



I've already placed the order and talked with the importir of FA, my car will be a demo car here in Melbourne. Hopefully everything goes well as planned!

I will sure post up some pics when they arrive...

is this the same company that made fabulous body kit and fabulous alloy wheel?

joy, do you get special discount??

Fabulous Acoustic is a combination of AudioTechnology midbass and Aurum Cantus tweeter... the brand itself is own by indonesian... just like SIGMA... morel midbass and LCY tweeter...

My opinion in regards to FA is
1. The size is ridiculous
2. Midbass is AWESOME
3. Tweeter... err... i think i'm going back to scanspeak... no offence but it is just a personal taste...
4. Tweeter is extremely fragile...
5. Do not park your car in direct sunlight... might hurt the ribbon
6. You need a good processor to set them properly... those who own an ordinary headunit without any processors, highly recommended to buy PXA or maybe HXD2
7. Price is ridiculously expensive USD1500 for FA1 with 5" midbass and USD1800 for FA1 with 6" midbass
8. One more thing, do not open your windows while driving, WHY? the wind pressure might damage the ribbon
