Who makes coax speakers?


I'm  wanting to maximize vertical dispersion in my speakers so that I'm not forced to sit when listening. I understand that this limits me to coax or singledriver speakers, the later of which I already have and I'm looking for better frequency extension. My room isn't large enough to properly support omnis.

What brands manufacture these types of speakers, or anything else which would fit my situation? I'm aware of Gradient, KEF, and Tannoy. Likely to buy the Gradient Six speakers unless I'm missing a better option. Seas makes all manner of coax drivers but I'm unable to find any brands using them, why is that?

Just got done designing a Kit for Seas/Madisound using the 7" Reed Cone Coax and two of the 8" Alu cone Woofers, Plans, Crossover schematic etc will be up on the website shortly.  The finished product will be on Display at LAAS in June in the Madisound booth along with the ScanSpeak B741 kit I designed for them a few years back.

Good Listening

RF,
I don't know yet what Madisound will charge for the kit Driver cost is $806 for a stereo pair (4 woofers and 2 coax drivers). Typically crossover components cost is about equal to driver cost so I'm guessing at $1500 to $1600.  Then what ever you'd want to spend on Cabinets on top of that.

The Seas CX871 (which is what we are going to call it) is front ported, Dims are 11W x 16D x 44T, as will all my designs its neutral / flat frequency response,  so I don't think you will have an issue with woofer overload in your room size.

Good Listening
