[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 16144, member: 46"] Re: Coaxial Wedge Collaboration I've been very happy with previous BMS drivers I have used. I would note however that a few people including Too Tall collaborated on a BMS based coaxial wedge a while ago. It would be nice to go a different route, so maybe avoiding BMS this time would be best. It was also noted that it took some work to minimize reflections on the backside of the horn with the BMS they used. Regarding P-Audio, I have never used any of their drivers, but have heard reports of quality control sometimes being an issue. These are second hand reports though, so I don't know if there is any merit to that. One driver that comes to mind is the B&C 12CXN76. The 12CXN76 is around $450USD. Not inexpensive, but if we are looking for a very high quality offering with long term parts availability, this may be a good choice. It would give a good head start down this path. It's also lightweight. Is this too expensive for folks? I'm not opposed to less expensive choices but would like to put together something that is pretty darn good. Thoughts? Perhaps a couple of different driver choices, one in the price range of the B&C I mention, and another less expensive option? This may compromise box design optimization though. Some other B&C options: [URL="http://www.prosoundservice.com/Search_Results.html?m9:cat=/BRANDS/B%26C%20SPEAKERS/Coaxial"]http://www.prosoundservice.com/Search_Results.html?m9:cat=/BRANDS/B%26C%20SPEAKERS/Coaxial[/URL] The RCF grant linked (CX12N351) might be nice too but is slightly more expensive than the B&C. I also would like to vote for a low profile design, acknowledging the compromises that would be required for such a design. Passive would be nice, but I'm happy with biamping. [/QUOTE]
