~ 5" Coaxial drivers?

Re: ~ 5" Coaxial drivers?

BMS 5CN160 - for an active crossover you still might want to put an L-Pad on the tweeter to lower the noise floor, since it's ~100db/w or higher.

The Q100's driver itself is just under 5", but with just under 6" including the frame.

As far as selling for repairs only, KEF probably gave them a spanking for selling so many drivers to DIY'ers. I wonder if AJ has anything to do with this too...

This seas driver looks very interesting but the FR on the tweeter looks really bad. It takes a nosedive after 7khz.

I started looking around and found the Kef Q100 Dual Concentric that Zaph tested. It looks really promising for a multitude of reasons but it's a 6" driver according to speakerexchange.com, though Kef's Q100 speaker details page calls it a 5.25". I'll keep digging to see if I can find more Dual Concentric designs.
Maybe Tannoy?


Edit: I just called speaker exchange. I asked about dimensions of the driver and was asked why I needed to know... am I needing it as a replacement? I replied that I was using it for a DIY design and then was told that they "wouldn't be able to sale that (driver)" for a DIY design. He said I have to use it in a Kef cabinet and provide a serial number. Of course, now that I go back and check the site, I see that information. :rolleyes:
Makes me wonder how Zaph got them. I don't recall seeing that you had to have a serial # to get them before.
Sucks, too, because that looks like the best driver option so far.

I'm looking at options for a coaxial design using a 5.25" or so mid (I'm limited by this OD). I'd prefer the two drivers be able to be amplified separately (ie: active). I found a few options but wanted to pool you guys in case I'm missing any.
