Anyone have experience with Cogent Field Coils?

Duke,

At present I plan to use the woofer and cabinet from my JBL L-200 speakers. I will bypass the XO and horn in the JBLs and mount an ah300 wooden horn on top. Thinking of using a 2 inch coax driver. Crossover from the woofer would be around 450 HZ. Bill has agreed to build my crossovers for me for a fee.
Overall frequency response should be 40Hz. to 16Khz. This approach allows for an upgrade path as money becomes available.

Thanks, Duke. I agree with you about Bill Woods. He cut his teeth in the real world of pro audio and seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of speaker design.
Now I just need to sell some things to fund my project.

Ah, Metralla, glad you have something to report. What did you like about the sound and what did you dislike about the looks?

Duke - Which horns did you feel worked best? I'm very interested in Bill Woods Acoustic Horn AH 300 wooden horns.
The field coil option may be too expensive for me. Do you know what Cogent charges for theirs? If I can't afford the field coils I'm thinking about a 2 inch vintage JBL instead.

Last year I was in Denver buying a car on the weekend of RMAF and didn't bother to check in. Maybe this year will be different. If I come to the show, I'll look you up.

Somewhere in this great land I am sure there are those who can lay out $14,000 for a pair of drivers to use in a DIY speaker project. Not I, however.

So Cogent is not a realistic consideration for me. What else should I consider at maybe 10% of that amount?
