My dad had a pretty stout paddle from his college fraternity hanging in the basement. The threat was always there for us to see - he never had to use it on me!
Steve, et al, I just discovered that tshirt website. It's a lot of good stuff! They support independent artists, and I have found MANY shirts I would wear.

Luckily I have more than enough on my shelf. Unfortunately I can't recommend them anymore as a diamond in the rough at these current prices. I hope Tom Zarbo was able to buy some before they almost doubled in price.
Also anyone thinking of building the Nola Brio project... it just got kinda expensive vs the performance.
The fibreglass 4 ohm version TG9FD1004 is excellent as well, perhaps even better for a couple bucks more. It is without a doubt the poor man's Scan-Speak 10F.
I have a few pairs of those Foster ribbons, but nothing built yet. They passed my initial quick listening test. I am planning to use them as super tweeters with an 8" wide range woofer.
Someone on Diyaudio used them and liked them, but how many designs use a super tweeter? I think they need to be crossed over at 6k+. But they liked them at $24, and they've been on sale for $14, so the sale price is good if you have a use for them.

^ Thanks, Wolf!
I got such a [much needed] laugh/chuckle from that post!

The tariff was $2.70. I'm looking at some Visaton for a horn project.
I'm going to grab 4 of those and build this Nola clone to try something different. Can't beat the price of those drivers

Anyone have measurements?
