  There are some significant differences but I am reminded of Romy the Cat's speakers.

    hi Christopher

    in fact, all manufactures integrating in their tractrix hornspeaker systems a round tractrix mid-bass horn, in some ways similar each other. Front view, the design looks more like the Avantgarde Trio. Physic's determine the shape.

    Wow, the Cogents have changed since I heard them. I'd love to have a chance to hear them again. And although "WAF" is not a word that comes readily to mind with any huge horn system, you can't fault them for trying. Lookin' good!

      Hi Christopher, they still aren't very pretty. Steve and I are working with several people (who are artistically inclined, not dummies like us!!) to cure that problem. We have plans to set up a couple more permenant demo systems, one in N.Y., and one near us in the L.A. area. I would love to meet up with you again, let us know when you will be back in the States, and we will plan something.

    Those are a great sounding pair of speakers, but I don't think Chris Brady has the big bass horn to go with them.

    The bass horn adds a lot.

      Hi eso, his subs are in stereo, and sound very close to front horn loaded subs, not too shabby.

  Some might not view reflex as ultimate,but all those 15"s will have move plenty of air at a still lower sensitivity than the horns obviously.
  There are three constants in life: death, taxes, and the inevitability of a (speaker)wire thread being closed -SY
