Im interested in looking at some passive coaxial hifi speaker (not for a car), bookshelf size

I don't get so many results, i know Fyne audio and kef ls50 meta + a few other passive coaxial speakers

Can you direct me in the right direction for some passive bookshelf coaxial hifi speakers ?
 
There are not a lot of high quality coax speakers around. Theil Audio used to make the SCS3-N but they don't exist anymore. Seas has interesting coax chassis that several manufacturers use


I think it's used in this https://www.sigbergaudio.com/products/sigberg-audio-sbs-1-aktive-hoyttalere

Also Tang Band makes coax https://www.soundimports.eu/en/tang-band-w8-2314.html

ME Geithain also offers coax speakers https://www.me-geithain.de/de/aktiv-lautsprecher1.html




I think for the money, KEF is your best bet. There are not very many ready buy coax speakers, DIY market has more options.

The only ones that make good coaxials that are passive are KEF, MoFi and some DIY with some specific Coaxial.

If you wanted actives, I'd have added Genelec but you're stuck with KEF and MoFi

KEF has quite a few. I like the Hsu CCB8 suggestion, tho
 
Gradient Audio. Twenty years ago I was a dealer for them, then I became a speaker manufacturer, so conflict of interest. If I hadn't become a manufacturer I'd still be a Gradient dealer.

 
re: Zu Audio
 
Tannoy also still makes small ones like the SGM10, but they are very coloured in the classic tannoy way. If you want neutrality, the Kef LS50 + good subs and dsp is the best way.
 
Im just look at coaxial speakers when i for some reason looked at fyne audio

single source point,time alignmenet and nearfield, passive speakers

Then i wanted to look for more passive coaxial bookshelf hifi speakers

My results where mostly for car audio

It seems you've already made your choice to go with Fyne Audio.

And if you truly searched you'd notice that the best coaxials are not the ones by Fyne or Zu but by KEF and MoFi when it comes to the passive Coaxial space
 
Technics makes nice Coaxes as well:

No

I looked at fyne audio and wanted to look at more passive hifi coaxial speakers

Like you wanna look at sports cars or porsches or ferraries and want help to find special car sites for those brand, because you wanna look at them, find videos (hear the engine sound),reviews spec's.... doesn't mean you wanna buy one or can afford one

Same with higher tier passive hifi coaxial speakers(1000 bucks or more), just because i wanna spend a little time looking at them, read reviews,watch video, doesn't mean i can afford one

Fyne audio just have from, i can afford a pair to i have to buy a new amp,house and take a mortgage on the house to get a pair = only money for the mortgage and mabye to pay for the electricity so i could hear my system.

Like a kid in a toy store looking at legos and remote controlled cars he can afford, but still like to look at them and read about

I have 3 CCB-8s across the Fronts in my 7.2.4 Atmos set-up in the Games Room => And I love them. IMHO they are a Bargain that is unmatched. Everyone who's heard them is impressed. I'm surprised the masses haven't found them yet, although they do often sell out between production runs.
