What amp are you using, this will have a major effect on the sound of the speaker. My friend had the D-1s driven by an Ayon amps and they do not sound warm or laid back, I am not sure what drivers it uses. The crossover and cabinet have a large effect on any speaker which cannot be quantified without hearing a speaker using the same or similar drivers in a different cabinet with a different crossover.
Seas Excel Magnesium Drivers - Warm Sounding?
Hi,
I own Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Monitors using two 7" Seas Excel drivers in a MTM configuration and really enjoy the spacious and precise sound. I will say they are a little on the warm side of neutral and a little laid back. I used to own Hales T5's which used a 5" Seas Excel driver but I don't remember that being as warm sounding in the lower midrange as the Tylers (I realize not an apples to apples comparison).
My question, is the Seas Excel an inherently warm sounding driver or would the crossover, cabinet construction, damping be contributing more to the warmth of this speaker?
This is a pretty popular driver (silver cone with copper phase plug) in a lot of very expensive speaker brands.
Thanks for your comments
