Anyone have experience with Cogent Field Coils?

Somewhere in this great land I am sure there are those who can lay out $14,000 for a pair of drivers to use in a DIY speaker project. Not I, however.

So Cogent is not a realistic consideration for me. What else should I consider at maybe 10% of that amount?

Macro, what frequency range do you want the driver to cover? Do you have a horn already picked out, or is choosing a horn part of the project? Active or passive crossover, and who will be doing the crossover design (or setup, if active)? What will the bass section be?

Thanks!

Duke,

At present I plan to use the woofer and cabinet from my JBL L-200 speakers. I will bypass the XO and horn in the JBLs and mount an ah300 wooden horn on top. Thinking of using a 2 inch coax driver. Crossover from the woofer would be around 450 HZ. Bill has agreed to build my crossovers for me for a fee.
Overall frequency response should be 40Hz. to 16Khz. This approach allows for an upgrade path as money becomes available.

Thanks for the information, Macro. With Bill Woods on your team, you're in great shape.

Best of luck with your project!

Thanks, Duke. I agree with you about Bill Woods. He cut his teeth in the real world of pro audio and seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of speaker design.
Now I just need to sell some things to fund my project.
