I spend a lot of time on speaker-building related sites and I KNOW I've seen that coaxial driver somewhere. (It's not B&C, Faital, Eminence or P.Audio, but ... I'll find it). Of course the work in speaker building is optimizing the crossover and building a furniture grade cabinet, and from the looks of things (and your reports) it seems as though this is done well. The drivers are probably quite expensive, even purchased in bulk, so the price being charged for the speakers seems exceptionally fair to me. Would love to hear them. |
Coherentguy: Here's an example: my personal website: www.steve-fretz.com. It took me a couple of hours, tops. It's for my fine art photography, so not exactly your line of work, but I think it's cohesive and advertises what I do accurately. I did it even though I know nothing about web development. For you, getting really good product photos will be the hardest part. I love speakers and speakerbuilding, and if you'd like advice/help, PM through audiogon and I'll give you IRL contact info. It's probably not as hard a job as you think, if you start with the right framework. I totally get that your "real" work comes first, but as a very perceptive realtor once told me, "people shop with their eyes. |
I hope to hear these speakers some day. They are understated but seem to be very well designed and executed. The fact that they are easily driven with a 3 watt 2A3 SET amplifier confirms the easy speaker load which is always a good attribute in my opinion. I suspect that the sound quality is very natural and high level. Charles |
A long-time Tannoy dual concentric enthusiast, I recently auditioned, at Coherent Audio, a pair of the Model 15s (non-beryllium version). Suffice to say, I put down a deposit and expect to take delivery in the next week or so. Unlike many of you posting on this thread, I've always preferred solid-state—high-power, high-current solid-state—to tubes. However, as with a good pair of Tannoys or Altec/GPA 604s, the high-nineties sensitivity of the Model 15 comes with some seriously high power handling, so one can use virtually any amp, from the 2A3-based tubes amps of 3.5 Wpc that Frank uses to demo the speakers, to the 1500 Wpc amp I'm current enjoying from D-Sonic in Texas. Will endeavour to report in the coming weeks on how I find the Model 15s compared to my trusty Tannoy System 15 DMT II (now 25 years old), |
