Hello Wayne,

Have you considered offering the Eminence 10 inch coax as a kit?
(single point source approach)

Or even a custom wideband 10 inch from Eminence? (single driver approach)

Thanks

Mark

I don't really like the Beta's and coax's really aren't my thing. Trying to force that position for the tweeter makes it compromised in other areas, size, shape, etc. I never much cared for the coax arrangement.

Thanks Wayne never knew it was only a Beta driver and no Alpha version.

I was wondering because I see coax's and single driver approaches seem to be getting popular.

Coax's kind of come and go in vogue. Single driver speakers also have kind of a niche market. Both can be made to sound good but neither are my cup of tea.

Full range, wide-range, coaxial, bi-cone... Heard about the Super 12? a light 29 grams moving mass speaker designed by John Wyckoff-2001 (Hammer Dynamics) with basket from Eminence 12LT.

Yes, I remember that driver. I think it's still available from John Wyckoff's wife, isn't it?
