Anyone have experience with Cogent Field Coils?


I've read that these are the finest reproducers currently in production. I know that they are big, heavy and expensive but I haven't heard them. Have you?

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

Best of luck with your project!

Utterly effortless sound - the Cogents impressed me a great deal. The Cogent room has been one of my favorite rooms at several audio shows over the past few years. I would say that some of the horns they've used have been better than others, but that effortlessness is there consistently so that's probably the driver.

Classic Audio Reproductions showed with a smaller field-coil driver at T.H.E. Show in January of this year, and I thought they had one of the two best rooms at T.H.E. show, along with Sonicweld (I don't think Cogent was there).

Macro, any chance you might make it to RMAF in a few weeks? If so, I'll be in the top of the tower (room 1100) - come on by! No field coil drivers, but it would be good to meet you.

Macro, I liked 'em with Bill's horns the best. It was in a huge room at RMAF last year, and it sounded like there was a band up there playing. A pretty good one, too.

I don't know what Cogent charges for their drivers. You might try contacting Steve Schell or Rich Dreysdale, they post on Audio Asylum's high efficiency speakers page sometimes.

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!
