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

" a planar speaker will do that very well - a Magnepan ribbon tweeter will act as a line source "

Not everyone can bear to listen to those aluminum ribbon tweeters. He also doesn't have that much room to work with.

Most speakers designed by Andrew Jones use coaxial drivers. These range from moderately priced Elac to high end TAD or Pioneer. Omega speakers can also make you a design with single drivers both on front and on top. Rarely come up for sale but I saw one up for sale on A'gon just recently and was very tempted.
