Due to the small size of the full range drivers some bass support was needed: on the shortlist were several Visaton drivers showing an excellent price / performance ratio, Peerless and the Audaphon M8-18.
Dennis Frank selected the Audaphon woofer; this driver is quite capable of producing even lower bass if the cabinet size is enlarge, e.g. by doubling the capacity.
Verdict: "The FAST Monitor is an excellent start to seriously getting involved in full range with bass support. The lively Fostex full range obtains appropriate support by the punchy Audaphon bass. As a uniform and integrated whole this pair show liveliness and enthusiasm at a price where one doesn't have to think twice."
