Hi Bennett and All,
High praise indeed from Mr. Eona/ADR!
In addition to the 15" box, I have also been trying the older AA12 boxes you heard with the custom Ciare 12" and BMS 1". As you note, very impressive.
On paper(well mostly in e-mails) the new all-BMS 12" wedge looks even better - more power, goes lower.
1) For a wedge, my first concern is sound quality.
With better wedges, musicians hear themselves clearly at lower overall volume, everybody wins.
The BMS 12" and 15" woofers have triple shorting rings and very low mid-range distortion.
The 1" HF drivers have an excellent reputation for clarity.
2) I want a box with an analog crossover to eliminate the delay of DSP processing. Am already adding some delay with a digital mixer.
Too Tall's crossovers with excellent design and high quality materials have a chance to shine with this driver.
3) Modest size and weight, in a well-built box, are obvious pluses.
John went through SEVERAL prototypes to get to a box that of modest size, with a useful, pleasing design.

Adam, I have used the 15" as a drum-fill. If I did more R&R I would definitely want one of these for that purpose.

For Tim, asking about mating the BMS coax to a BMS woofer for more low-mid output:
BMS does have similar Neo 12" and 15" woofers. Jack will have the best information on the best matches.
The triaxial BMS 15CN860F has to be a contender for the ultimate in high-output in a very compact, lightweight package.
Can you imagine this driver in a wedge?!?!
I wonder about this driver in a symmetrical, Danley SH50-style box, that would allow constructive left/right and up/down arraying...
Since the 1" BMS can be crossed so much lower than most other 1" drivers, a coax can meet my wedge needs.
Thanks and good health, Weogo
