I think that saying coaxials are beamy is a bit incorrect. Maybe the stock drivers in UREIs were. Radians sound nice. They aren't beamy.
Lets side step to JBL. Not a real stretch since Harmon/JBL was doing UREI last. JBL released a dual 14" driver + horn studio monitor. They were only around for a year or two. They required JBLs digital processing, so that may be why. Anyone hear them?
Since those aren't stock...who knows? If you look closely at the top driver on the right, the surround has deteriorated. If you buy these, you should take them to SpeakerWorks on Mingo and have him check them out. You could be in them for $1k in recones and shipping.

Hey, you might call the TV deprtment at ORU. They used to have several pairs of Westlakes for sale. They were in great shape too. Since Richard Roberts is out, they may be in a pinch for cash.

Got a link for that?
I thought the recent JBL 'home theatre' stuff ('Everest/K2' with the big horns) looked interesting but haven't heard them. Anyone?

I will sell you my remaining 813's for $5 each if you come take them away, and fix the holes where they have resided (never turned on) for the last 15 years.
Incidentally, I heard a set of Martin THX theatre speakers at a cinema here in Poland recently - some of the best monitoring I've ever heard. Do these guys do studio monitors?
