Fostex FE207E's in 1 ft^BR's. Drivers are a little pricey, but they're sweet, extended, and efficient. Really, really nice IMNSHO. Top right in the photo :-)They'll still come in under your budget if you meant $100 to $150 a piece...
all the best,

Is what I used to call the Concentric 2, sort of named after the Pi Studio 2, which it uses the drivers of. Piezo-on-a-stick; drilled dowel stuck through the center hole of an Eminence Alpha 10, sporting a ksn1038 from back when you could still get them. I sold those boxes last year and wound up building another pair slightly smaller because I liked them so much. They stand in for the Mighty Karlsons when the M.K. are getting tweaked or getting the crap pounded out of them at some dance or other.
Hi Mark,What's the speaker in teh cab under the Fostex? Looks rather coaxial...
Which leads to: I have a couple of rather "interesting" design home brew speakers that were "adopted" from the Mont Vernon dump, er, recycling center. They have some rather weird internal baffling, and have some vintage Utah 12 inch "full range" - woofer with a paper whizzer cone - in them, and I am looking to upgrade to better 12 inch coaxial speaker for them. The Utahs have a rather dull high end response, and their bass isn't exactly inspiring, either.
Scenario 2 is to simply replace the Utahs with some vintage Altec 12 inchers that I have on hand, and use these as woofers with a mid/tweeter box on top.

... is either an Adire 10.1 or 12.1. That's the Eminence coaxial speaker; I don't recall for sure whether it's the standard Eminence compression tweeter, though. I actually don't recall hearing them. You can learn more from the AX review (link below). You'll note they had some polarity problems, though :-)

(couldn't decide which to use, so I offer both...)The Eminence coaxes might be worthy of attention. They're not terribly expensive, IIRC.

Hi Mark,Thanks, I was thinking they might be the Eminences, but wasn't sure.
I wonder how the Eminence coaxials compare to the PAudio coaxials, which are listed on the commonsense audio website. They start at 8 inch and go up to either 15 or 18 inch diameter.
BTW, 7408s are slightly souped-up 6V6GTs, I probably have a few in the tube stash./ed B in NH
