to further my Open Baffle exploration with pro-audio inspired coaxial drivers

(made by Eminence for Hawthorne Audio )

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...interesting. Look forward to hearing how you get on with those.

[HoopsOnToast]

yeah i went with my heart in the end, but played it safe with these rather than full-rangers etc

[TIU]

Maybe I'll pay you a visit when you get these.

Is it supplied with the crossover, like their OB 15inch units?

Be interested to see how these workout.

Guessing they'll be quite efficient, time for some tubes ;)

[HoopsOnToast]

yes it is, for the $145 you get the coaxial woofer, tweeter and crossover with wires etc, it is simply plug and play.
(just add a baffle, although you dont even need that!)

and anyone will be welcome, and yes they are 95dB

so tubes might be on the cards in the summer ;)

Hoops, you may succeed in dragging us all up to Coventry yet

And shipping is? Presumably in this case it really is by ship as they would be quite costly by air.

Nice choice! Can it also be used in a speaker enclosure or better off as open baffle?

yes open baffle really, QTS of 0.65 is too high for anything apart from open baffle or an aperiodic enclosure. shipping was $112 for 8-10 days Air Parcel delivery. so not too bad (they weight about 30lbs)
