Shipping to USA addresses only. Contact me if you have a secondary address in the USA (this way I can ensure your bid wont be automatically blocked). I do NOT use stock photos or canned descriptions. The vast majority of buyers want to see an items actual condition, not glossy photos from the manufacturers site. You can find the manufacturers description and specifications via online searches. Pictures may include test equipment, cables, connectors, and auxiliary equipment that are NOT a part of the auction. Read the description carefully so you know exactly what you are bidding on. This listing is for a rare PAIR of NOS (new old stock) Fostex / Foster FE-8 woofer-midrange loudspeaker drivers. These fantastic edgeless cone drivers are unused and in their original cartons. As you can see from the photos, the Fostex FE-8 speakers are truly unique in their design: The edgeless cone has no surround suspension*, but has a dual spider housed in a cast aluminum frame to maintain voice coil alignment. A stiffener is added to the cones edge (or perimeter) to maintain the cones stiffness. (*A loudspeakers surround is purportedly a source of non-linear distortion because it does not move in the same rigid fashion as the cone moves.) Note that these 8-inch diameter woofers have very large magnets (I recall its an Alnico magnet under the housing / cover, but didnt want to open the covers because these speakers are unused. The FE8 drivers were built with the highest quality materials throughout to match their heavy cast aluminum frames. Domestic shipping is based on eBays calculator only; i.e. I do not add any additional fees. I do my best to keep shipping cost low (blame the carriers, not the sellers). As you can see from one photo, each speaker weighs in at an impressive 8 lbs. The pair, double-boxed with their original cartons and packing materials, weighs 22 lbs. Shipping carton dimensions are 18 x 14 x 14 inches. For safer shipping, I may ship these in two separate cartons, but Ill cover the extra cost of shipping two parcels if I choose this route. Please visit my current and forthcoming auctions for more unique audio-related items. Thank you for viewing! Reminder: I do not ship to addresses outside of the USA. Thank you for reading! Im batting 100% positive feedback after nearly two decades of buying and selling on eBay. I kindly leave positive feedback for those who do the same. Some recent feedback (as a seller) includes: Possibly the best seller on eBay Ive dealt with. Highly recommended. / An extremely helpful seller! Thank you for everything. / Great seller! An expert in sound measurement. Very responsive to questions. Prior to my current username, I had over 2000 combined selling and buying reviews with 100% positive feedback (Ive changed my username once or twice over the many years). I do not entertain best offers, nor do I end auctions early. Item will be sold to the high bidder (heck, a single bidder might get a fantastic deal). My auctions are old-fashioned auctions--the way they ought to be. Payments must be received within 72 hours after end of auction. Items not paid for after 72 hours will be re-listed. No returns (buyers remorse shouldnt be the sellers responsibility--see * below). Nothing in this listing is misleading. Photos are an integral part of the description: View all photos carefully. If something isnt clear, write before you bid. I pack items with great care--the same way Id like to receive a delicate or valuable item. Like other sellers, I do not have control over shipping costs or carrier delivery time. Small- and medium-sized items will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Large parcels will be shipped via UPS Ground. Unlike Jeff B, neither eBay nor I operate our own shipping services--this means no prime or overnight shipping. *Heres why I no longer accept returns: Too many bidders with buyers remorse had intentionally damaged perfectly good equipment in order to receive a return. In other instances, buyers were simply incompetent: Equipment was damaged because these buyers did not know how to properly use it; yet, they wanted refunds because of the damage they caused. Bottom line: NO MORE RETURNS! If the wrong item is shipped (I have yet to do this), I will promptly exchange the item and pay for shipping to-and-from the buyer. Please understand what youre buying is USED (unless its clearly stated as new). RE electronics equipment: I encourage all viewers to compare my listings to other sellers listings and photos: If a printed circuit board is on anything other than an ESD mat, then the seller doesnt know how to exercise appropriate ESD precautions. Many electronic devices are easily compromised or destroyed due to improper handling. I use appropriate ESD protection measures when handling static-sensitive equipment. Items that are ESD sensitive will be shipped in anti-static wrapping.

Read the description carefully so you know exactly what you are bidding on. This listing is for a rare NOS (New Old Stock) PAIR of Foster / Fostex FE-8 FE8 dynamic loudspeaker drivers / woofers. These unique edgeless cone woofer-midrange drivers are unused and in their original cartons. These are very sought-after speakers (particularly in Japan, but I dont ship Internationally). This pair has no defects at all--they are UNUSED. The FE8 drivers are quite unique in design: The Pistonic edgeless cones (more below) have no outer surround, but they include a dual spider assembly housed in a cast aluminum frames to maintain precise voice coil alignment. These 8-inch diameter woofers have large Alnico magnets. The whole woofer-midrange speakers were built with highest quality materials throughout to match their heavy cast aluminum frames (baskets). As you can see in one photo, each speaker weighs approximately eight pounds. While digging around for additional information (some found in other languages), I discovered the FE-8 is similar in design to the Fostex SLE20W, SLE24W, and SLE34W woofers. The following excerpt is from a FOSTEX brochure that describes their edgeless cone SLE34W and SLE24W woofers (I recall both being components of the GZ2001 and GZ1001 printed-ribbon planar loudspeakers): ... articulate reproduction of the fundamentals. The cone surround, weak point of most cone woofers, is completely eliminated in the SLE34W and SLE24W. An acoustic low pass filter in the form of a slotted ring replaces the conventional cone surround. The voice coil / cone assembly is supported by push-pull, distortion-canceling double spiders. Employing also a super heat-resistant voice coil, this special synthetic material (SM) cone reproduces powerful and articulate low frequency sound--the fundamentals of music. Of particular note are the excellent transient response and low distortion--the perfect complement to the Printed Ribbon Planer Loudspeaker [end of description from product brochure]. Some known specifications include: Nominal impedance = 8 ohms; rated power = 30W, with music power = 80W; and frequency range = 60Hz to 2kHz. The pair, double-boxed with their original cartons and packing materials, weighs around 22 lbs. Shipping carton dimensions are 18 x 14 x 14 inches. For even safer shipping, I may ship in two cartons, but Ill cover the extra cost of two parcels if I choose this route.
