About the FTA-2000
The FTA-2000 is a full-range single driver speaker designed by Bob Brines, featuring the Fostex F200A 8" alnico magnet driver. It uses a more-or-less conventional transmission line cabinet to extend bass response down to about 30 Hz. The design avoids crossovers, relying on a single driver for clarity and detail across the frequency range. The cabinet is large and mass loaded, contributing to its bass performance. The speaker is known for its articulate and detailed bass and midrange, with a lighter cone driver that provides faster transient response and higher efficiency compared to multi-way speakers. It is not considered a high-efficiency speaker but is well matched to tube amplifiers and high-powered solid-state amplifiers. The FTA-2000 is custom built and can be finished in various woods such as African Mahogany. It is a niche product favored by audiophiles who appreciate single driver designs and crossover-less speakers.
