What speakers use SEAS or SEAS-sourced drivers?

I realize that drivers do not a great speaker make. However, based on my somewhat limited exposure, 75% of the loudspeakers that I really like happen to use SEAS drivers, especially those from the premium Excel line. These drivers produce a refined tonal quality that is quite pleasing to my ears.
I’m therefore hoping to build a shortlist of speakers using SEAS drivers. I want to make sure that I’m not missing out on any models when I go auditioning.
So far my partial list contains the following in no particular order:
Joseph Audio
Tyler Acoustics
Chesky
Amphion
Devore Fidelity
Cary Audio

Please help me complete my list. Thank you.

Don't forget Madisound kits using Seas drivers. Good value.

I don't know whether you only want speakers that use SEAS drivers for both the woofer *and* tweeter, but the following speakers use the SEAS Excel soft-dome tweeter:
Harbeth Monitor 30 and 40
ATC models starting with (I think) SCM-20 and up

Both the Harbeth and ATC use their own, proprietary midrange units. FWIW, I have speakers that use both the SEAS Excel tweeter and midrange drivers. I think that the tweeter is amazing-- smooth, refined, and non-fatiguing--but the midrange unit I don't care for much.

One of the reasons that the Harbeth and ATCs intrigue me so much is that they use the excellent SEAS tweeter, but instead of the SEAS midrange they use their own midrange drivers which, from what I've read from many sources, are considered among the best in the industry.

Boulder looks as if they are using a type of SEAS driver. But there are lots more listed on this website:

Their plots always looked difficult to work with unless you are a pro.
