Full Range vs Trad xover design

had the SEAS Thor MTM past 25 yrs, upgarded Millennium tweets = $700 + all Mundorf silver gold cap, maybe get somerthing more out that top of line Seas 87 db MTM. Spent $1500+ on upgrades.
Today arrived the DavidLouis 6.5 Full Ranfe, 
Hooked it up to one of the biwres, disconnecting the tweet xover.
The Millennium is SEAS top of line tweet, just below their newer version Cresendo both 87 db. The EXCEL 6.5 are 87 db
The DL FR is 93 db. 
Results,
The SEAS tweet sounds likea  wet blamet is covering the unit as compared to the DL 93 db midtweet <,FR>> qwhich it is not, has  little bass, although it is NOT ina  cabinet yet, just sitting on  top of Speaker.
Cabinet will granta  tad more bass.
Resuults The DL FR blows away the SEAS Millennium mid range tweet, and Its my belief the DL will  shoot out any top of line midtweet offered by Scan Speak and SEAS. = Conventional lower than 90 db xover mid tweet are <<Dinasaurs>>  Out dated, dsyfunctional, = Junk .
FR is The New Kid on the Block. xovers only interfer with the purity of the music, Grant it there the FR is not <<perfect>>,. but its the best we have to date.
More videos comming next week
I plan to get the 10 inch FR and add a  tweet, maybe the Vifa comming next week from same seller.
anyone interested in my Thors please let me know, they'll just sit in attic collecting dust.
Any speaker lower than 90 db is <,Dinasaur>> You need to get rid ot it. 
91 db ses is the threshold.

Cabinet made, 2 hrs, $40 material, 
easy simply, anyone can build FR cabinets.
Now the bass explodes, sure it does not go below 150 hz, still for a  single 6 inch driver, this delivers close to the SEAS Thor.
just over $100 a pair vs Thors $$$$$$$
All xover/traditional style speakers have been rendered <<JUnk>> via 21st Century Full Range.
70% of a stereo sysytem = speakers, FR will bring your average system to High Fidelity
vs Seas, Scan speaks lower than 90 db will bring your stereo down. Any speaker lower than 90db are <<Dinasaurs>>

I love my Ref 3A de Capos 92db run them with 4 watt Decware amp plenty of sound not Ted Nugent loud but good
No "crossover" but have "just a single capacitor used as a high pass filter for the tweeter"

OK Single Cap + 92 db, = Not tradition/conventional speaker  as in my reference, 
Perhaps , in fact your Ref A3 is not the speakers i am attacking. 
I am going after any/all speakers that have more than 1 cap and are not at least 91 db. You are at 92db which passes the sensitivity threshold of <<at least 92db>>> 
= all FR are over 93db 
Conventional/traditional <<Box design>>> are all under 91 db and have multiple xover components .
= Dinasaurs = Out dated = dysfunctional = High Distortion,,what we are all after is <<High Fidelity>> ( old Philips terminology)
FR = High Fidelity
xover/conventuiional box = Low Fidelity.
Here is the link to my 2nd DL FR, the above link did not load properly on YT
This is the link
'Cabinets took about  1 hour each x2 = 2 hours pair to build,,don't look nice, gaps all over, but they sound great, even fantastic. Bass has now kicked in.
These DL FR blow away the Seas double 6.5 + SEAS Millennium tweets. 
Thats a $2500 upgraded speaker with Mundorf high priced caps, and brand new Millenniums. 
The single DL blows away the Seas.
Blows away any conventional, including all/every B&W ever made.
