[QUOTE="John Halliburton, post: 66728, member: 8"] Re: Coaxial Wedge Collaboration Taking a break from house cleaning this morning, I've been going over this thread. Some things I hadn't read. Some observations: First, using any of these nice coaxial drivers is an expensive project, no denying that. As someone observed on their build, it's around $1000.00 per finished unit. Second, I can't stress enough that these are top flight products when completed, especially, and emphatically when incorporating a passive crossover by Curtis List, or having Bennett cook up some DSP settings. I can't stress this quote From Jack Arnott enough: Anyone who has seen any of my handiwork building crossovers in the original Danley products, or what they have in their current line, will understand as well. There is a lot going on. I just did a four day event that featured Phil Coulter, who's been performing and producing for four decades-lots of platinum discs on his wall. His rider specs a preference for old school biamped 15x2 or 12x2 wedges. He likes it reasonably loud, needs some 8k boost, didn't even flinch as I gave it to him on one wedge at the piano, and a pair at centerstage with the coax wedges. His wife, Geraldine Brannigan, who has plenty of records sold in her own right, just loved the sound in the wedges I was able to give. Mine weigh around 42lbs., built with 18mm Baltic. I may have a go at a 15mm version, it should shave 20% off the unloaded cabinet weight, possibly getting under the 40 pound mark. For those pesky foam pieces on the underside of the grills, check into some plastic snap rivets, where one half can go thru the grill from the outside, and the other half can capture the foam against the inside of the grill when snapped together. A couple of these in critical spots should be enough(along with the spray adhesive too). Best regards, John [/QUOTE]
