Getting started on an interesting speaker design, something I'm calling a "coax array". The concept is to replicate a large dual concentric (coax) driver with a ring of small midrange drivers around a central horn-loaded tweeter.
The advantages in using this arrangement are higher power handling, high sensitivity and it sets up a true point source.
The array handles frequencies from 300Hz to 20KHz, while the dual woofers take care of 300Hz and below. This should produce a speaker with very even coverage over a wide area of listening positions.
In this first video I summarize the design details and get the solid wood milled for the baffles of each speaker. I'm using red oak and being very selective to get a clean, defect-free appearance. That means gluing several pieces together to make the 12" wide baffles.
