Also can you share some details about system i.e drivers ,crossover points and slopes also amplification. In which aspect the new system is better than EdgarHorns you previously had?

Well first of all these are not my speakers. I built the crossovers for these and thought that the inmates would enjoy seeing a picture.

The drivers are Cogent field coil units (I don't recall the model numbers). A Bruce Edgar seismic sub does the low bass duty with a third order 60 hz crossover point. The bass-mid crossover point is 350hz with a roughly first order slope. The slope is a little greater than 6db due to some light duty impedance correction.

The tweeter comes in at 5khz with a second order slope and the Cogent mid horn runs full range in the upper range.

As much as I liked my Edgarhorn Titans these are in another class.

The plasma ion tweeter is by a margin the best I have heard and it integrates beautifully with the Cogent mid horn. I used them with my Cogent horns for a couple weeks and am missing them sorely...

The midrange is this system is again by a margin the best I have ever heard. These horns have some midrange magic that my already excellent Cogents do not have.

The bass is excellent but not quite making the "best I have heard status".

  What comes in as "best you've heard" for bass duty? Anything out there at the quality of those mids and highs?
  
  Thanks, Erik

    Likely not, unfortunately. Beautiful stuff no doubt! Looks like the Mike Ladra 75TL/GM70 amps. Damn nice looking horns too! Love that color.
    
    Running these with active line-level Xovers would be the way to go IMNSHO.
