Seas 2.5 Way Graphite Kit - Delling

Hi Everyone,


It was getting to be that time of year when I encourage audiophiles to build at least one speaker pair in their lifetime as a matter of personal growth and education. The more builders we have in this hobby the less we rely on PR and reviewers alone to influence us, so this is something I feel has broad value to our hobby.


Anyway, I was checking out Madisound, and discovered that Seas has released a 2.5 way kit which looks very promising. 2.5 way speakers are, IMHO, some of the best designs for the average living room. Highly efficient, deep bass, small footprint so easy to live with overall.

At around $1,750 for the parts, including a crossover, this is not the cheapest possible kit, but certainly far cheaper than a commercial speaker would have to be.


Unfortunately I have not heard this pair myself, and I worry it may have a little extra presence, but that’s the beauty of DIY, you can tailor your sound directly in the crossover.


Best,

Erik

Erik,
Well, as someone who just purchased the Joseph Audio Perspective speakers, that design looks somewhat familiar :-)
Can you clear something up for me please?  I see the claim of "deep bass" associated with those seas drivers.  How does this come about that a driver itself can be expected to put out "deep bass?"
If I understand correctly, it would be a combination of the driver motor which may be more "deep throw" - moving further back and forth to move more air, along with the driver material itself being able to withstand the greater force without breaking up, hence: a driver good for producing deeper bass.
Is that about right, or can you fix or elaborate on my understanding?
Thanks.
