Best midranges...


I'm wondering what you all consider to be among the top midrange drivers.

I'm looking at drivers that play the best between 120hz and 3khz roughly

I've been impressed with the SEAS magnesium coned drivers that are in the Tyler Acoustics speakers, but I have limited exposure to the highend driver market and would value any opinions!
Thanks!

Yes I have the Seas W18E001, same  midwoofers Tyler used in his designs.
Although the best in their day, the new W18 has a Graphene cone and Titanium VC. 
Superior? yes, but 2x;'s the price. 
Still the main issue with this great midwoofer, is the low sensitivity, at 87db. 
Thinking outside the box, better, bestt mids are voiced in the new wide band higher sens like 91db++ drivers. 
So lets say you geta  pair of W22 Graphene + Mundorf Caps 
For about the same price you can geta   wide band which has all 3 ranges
Bass
mids
Highs

The new high tech now is wide band as a  complete all in one speaker, and if you need more bass, go ahead and add a  woofer

The ATC mid dome is a very unique and high performance part. With a motor larger than 99% of midrange drivers

~~~ As Troels calls it **  a  meaty beast** at 14 lbs!!!!\
Massive midrange, 
does not make any fq's over 90db. 
= Dated.  IN-Efficient./Non Efficient - = working against the music. Lots of xover components nedded to make it work. 
xovers such the life out of music, Once again, wide band high sens really is the only way to enjoy music.
