[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 19530, member: 46"] Re: Coaxial Wedge Collaboration The B&C HF is 3" voice coil and I presume 1.4 exit. It looks a little better to me and the polars are pretty good for what it is. Of course no mention is made of what frequency the internal b&c horn loads to. I do like the idea of keeping the crossover point quite low as long it can remain within a safe range for the driver. While I did see 1.2K listed as a suggested point, it looks as though the driver should go lower, albeit the horn might have been the limiting factor here. The HF should significantly outrun the LF anyway so there is likely a little bit of room to spare in terms of lost headroom. The lamp is certainly a good consideration. I wish there were more detailed specs available for the drivers. I'd love to see HF distortion measurements, polars for the Ciare, etc. Based on the "unknown" factors about the Ciare, the B&C seems like a safer bet. But this is only my opinion, and it certainly would be interesting to compare it with the Ciare. It certainly has impressive LF capabilities, a lower price, and lighter weight.. Presumably we could get a volume discount on drivers if this project came to completion and several people wanted to build some cabs. We might do a group buy or something similar if that was worthwhile for folks. On another note, Ron, are there any of the other drivers such as the PAudio or the Beyma or similar which might also work reasonably well in your box design, or is accommodating one of the cheaper drivers too much of a compromise? Thanks for all of the modeling you've done on this Ron, it's a big time commitment, so thank you very much! [/QUOTE]
