Extreme nearfield monitors. Full range driver, coaxial, etc?

Dont do that
Keep the tweeter close, that is sufficient. Or get a true coax (not the car audio variant where the tweeter is glued to the phase plug but where its actually sharing magnets).

Dude man !!!!! $1000 for a pair of coaxials for computer listening??? Did you catch my workshop is a bus? LOL I'm not even rich. I have 6 pairs of great DIY speakers. NONE of them have drivers costing close to this. And that is considering Accuton, Aruum Cantus, Revelators, etc ....

I stopped looking after clicking on the bottom link first, LOL. But thank you for the advice and links! I appreciate the help for sure.

That first pair was possibly 188 a piece

I will want to sell my Focals if I spend over $400 for computer speakers. I still have cabinets to build (Baltic birch costs money any more!). Glad I have those I can sell. If I do, I will go ahead and spend the money. But if not, those Focal sure sound good, LOL.

I think you hinted at wanting to spend around 90ish per driver?

 

[Flaxxer]

I just looked around online. My Focals have been discontinued, and sell for $500 right now. I should be able to get $350 for my slightly used ones. If I do that, I will purchase the $500 coaxials.

The seas was just some examples from the top of my head. I’m sure there are others. Tang band have something I guess. I’m sure other as well. I have no idea how they even sound. Sorry for giving you a small heart attack.

Hi

Just curious, is the bus still drivable? As in, it still moves?

Having said that, I think what you have is awesome... short of having your own submarine.

I think coaxials could be a good choice too. You could consider this from SB acoustics. Only $52

There is also a 5" model and 6" model. Jyst look around. The recommended crossover circuit is also provided.

For the 4" cabinet design, you could just copy the one from the micro monitor kit. Essentially the same driver, just a different cone.

Not at all! I thank you very much for giving me a new direction. I have found this most exciting of all. I like the SEAS pair at $260 each a lot. But I do want to look at other brands as well. For fun if nothing else.

I'm getting my camera out to photograph the Focals and start posting them on Car Audio forums.

Those are cheap enough to play with regardless.



The bus can go anywhere. Aaaaaaanywhere !

I don't suppose you could modify the bus into a submarine too... Have always wanted to do the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Thing.

Wish I could do something like this in my part of the world...

There is also a 5" version in madisound as well as a 6" ... Or you could potentially do a 3 way with 6" woofer...
