Do Physicists Or Musicians Design Better Speakers?
Well South, which is the spaeker that does reproduce?Names please?.....Off topic , one thing I can't stand is "this is the best speaker we have heard"refering to sales pitch from dealers and owners trying to dump their speaker here on the used mak... 
Here's a challenge:a class A sound system for less
I agree with Jaybo all the wayI've heard a pretty good array of $$...$$$....$$$$ systems, ie "the $50K" kind you are talking about and was disappointed. I mean I couldn't wait to exit my friends house/show room. It was like gawddd aweful. Wouldn't...

I knew my comments would draw challenges to the Seas' quality."there are hundreds of other drivers JUST as good IF NOT better""the driver is only half the equation, the way the bos is designed is as important"and other such comments.Eton's? Compar...

Sure the design is free. But how many here can read a schematic and have the necessary time and tools to do it. ?The kit comes preassembled and takes about 8 hours/less with help from a friend."its not the drive units...that ULTIMATELY make or bre...

With the Thors you get to see the guts of the thing. And let me tell you the xover is a real beauty. Dr Appolito was a genius in speaker xover design. Nothing like his work.btw the picture of the Seas' Excel drivers do not do justice to the actual...

Evita the Egg speaker looks like one of those big speakers from the 1970's era.Remember those?Guess before your time.Anyway I'm not impressed by a high number of drivers in a cabinet.I make exceptions to that rule with the interesting Tyler design...

SEas/Thor/Apollito only worked with the best drivers.The man was a genius to figure out the proper crossover in this MTM design. I can't wait to get the proper amp to these beauties to see just what the potential is. The Jadis Orch Ref delivers so...

D'Appolito, a physicist designed the Seas'Thors, a MTM design. Take a look at the neato crossover, + look at the Seas' drivers.This might help with the answer.When I first laid sight on the Seas drivers and the D Appolito (sp ck please) I knew rig... 
The very best new/used under $3k for classical?
I'd imagine you have your spaeker by now as this thread is old.anyway my two cents would be Tyler's or the Thor kit from Seas, which I have, which uses the same drives as Tyler's. In some of his models Tyler uses the cheaper tweeter, Scan-speak. L... 
Accurate vs Musical
For me its all about the fatigue factor. I can tell you my Thors have never given me fatigue. This is what I'm after. They are not harsh/grainy/smokey/bright.I'd say they are neutral. Neutral is not the same as bland. They reproduce the exact imag...

TESTing testingfor some reason my posts are not loging inI said all this nonsense over tech jargon means zero.Its how does the speaker sound.I head the B&W's 602's. So I bought them.Then I got the seas Thor kit.BLEW out the water the B&W's... 
Accurate vs Musical
I'm with Aball, why split hairs over tech jargon.How do the speakers sound?I recall hearing B&W's in a listening room yrs ago, my wife wanted them, so I told the guy to box em up.I mean they sounded OK, but next to my Seas Thor's they sound li... 
ribbon tweeters
Compare any ribbon to the Seas T25.Ribbons I find to be so fake sounding. 
Ring radiator tweeters - the future?
how about the Seas T25/Millinium, which I'm listening to right now in the Thors. natural and nice to my ears.
