I've got a University 12" triaxial  in the original (BIG!) cabinet, which 
has a tiny horn for the tweeter, mounted in the center of the woofer cone, 
with an intermediate driver  for midrange, mounted between the two. It's 
only rated at 25 Watts, and I think I blew the crossovers playing my guitar 
through it. When I bought it, the woofer had a rip in it, so I had it 
reconed (for about $120, the first place I went to didn't want to touch it) 
and it sounds great to me.
I don't want to sell it though..
