[QUOTE="Rick Powell, post: 25069, member: 202"] Re: Coaxial Wedge Collaboration I actually have plans from Simon Coffin (who used to post on the other forum) of a Microwedge-style monitor, powered by a Speakerpower module, using Radian components. He built a few of them and tried bi-amping with the module, but says they sound better in passive mode using the Radian factory crossover from the 1000w side of the module (think he got the 1000w/500w biampable SP modules). I am not looking to go powered, just to have a smaller alternative to the Bag End TA15's - a very good sounding monitor but tiresome to lug around at 85 lb. The Radian coaxial and crossover components are readily available at US Speaker and other outlets. With components, wood, paint, grille material and hardware (plus sweat equity) I think they cost out around $800 apiece unpowered. You are correct the Radian wedge would probably be a more logical off the shelf solution than DIY. But sometimes it's fun to make some sawdust and call it your own model. [/QUOTE]
