Fane Sovereign 8-225 4-stars Reviews

Fane Sovereign B-225

This speaker was bought as a replacement for a speaker that was literally cooked by a DJ/Karaoke Presenter who drove it to death. The DJ/Karaoke presenter is still trying to cook this one after a good few tries. Maybe not a JBL sound but it sure is tough. Good all rounder and it has lasted longer than the original. For the price and its use a really good match. No complaints.

not bad

I think these are just Eminence Alpha clones... close in specs and look, now that Eminence owns Fane I guess it's just a copy. Anyway, I used two in a 2x8" bass cab (vented) and it wasn't bad. Not very nice sounding, though... if you want a miracle from an 8" woofer you have to spend some serious money on a Faital PR or something like that. I owned SWR Henry 8x8 and 4x8" so I'm a fan of small speakers but for the Q/P ratio, 10" woofers can be beaten (at least for bass).

They're bright enough, though, so maybe they'd be nice as midrange for 2 ways cabs on top of a good 15".
