[QUOTE="Peter van Gils, post: 206572, member: 3943"] Regarding the Brooklyn-Audio products: They are certainly a step up in quality. All Sander's products sound smooth and can be mixed&matched (they all have similar phase-response). They use high quality components (Beyma/BMS/Powersoft). But, I'm not sure that the coax 12 will provide more output than your current tops: it's still a conventional front-loaded top. If you want more output wrt your current system, then the BA Prospect top might be a better choice. It uses the BMS 4592 on a asymmetric horn with a very low x-over frequency and a high power 15" low. It can be scaled to a 1000-2000 pax system with sufficient kick and sub boxes. If you are really looking for more output in a small(er) package, then I think you should consider light-weight horn-loaded tops. E.g. TW audio T24N, or the PM90 DIY from Peter Morris (in the DIY section), and maybe others. These designs make a significant step in output compared to front-loaded systems. Similar for subs: if you want high output in a small package, then the hybrid / tapped horns are the way to go. [/QUOTE]
