SEAS Thor Speaker / NCMS Rhythm 9500 Unlimited

I've read about these new speakers from SEAS designed by Dr.Joseph D'Appolito and have quite an interest in them. The most recent issue of Audio Express talks about them at length and they look to be a really nice design for those of us who like a well built transmission line speaker. If you haven't seen them yet got to http://www.madisound.com and go to "kits" and they're at the bottom.

My question is,"Has anyone heard these speakers or tried to build them yet?" I'm curious for some input if you have heard them. I don't like the fact that Madisound has opted to delete the base plinth that was part of the original design so I will most likely have to build the cabinets myself. The article has a mini review but I'm looking for more reactions to these speakers.

The other kit that I've been looking at is the North Creek Music Systems / Rhythm 9500 Unlimited. Again, if you have not seen it check out, http://www.northcreekmusic.com/NorthCreekKits.html
Costwise the NCMS Rhythm 9500 Unlimited is qiute a bit more expensive but comes from some great sound guru's. Any thoughts on these would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Just put together a NCMS Rhythm Signature. I had Lee Taylor make the cabinets and xo boxes. Already these speakers best my Vandersteen's- better imaging, more efficient, bass extension. Although they certainly need some time to break in, my initial experience has been really positive. I will have more comments as they break in.

Good luck on your search.

Bryhifi,

I had the Vandy 2ci's for the last 7 years. I loved them. The VK200 should handle dynamics well even at low volumes with the NCMS. I drive the Rhythm sig's with a VK500. Have fun.
