Tang Band 2145 in action
You conveniently left out the parts that don’t back up what you claim about the Thors. "A taste of high end sound" is not the same thing as "the best in the world". That is some really classic cherry-picking and making up of things that weren’t even stated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I would hoe you could figure out the context of **worlds finest speaker*** , Knowing the reference is , **In its class size,** dual 6 inch woofers + tweet. maybe can't6 compete with Wilson;'s massive 8 driver , 1000 lb speaker at $900G's. . And maybe just matches Troel Gravesen's best 2.5 way designs. Still the review is spot on saying the speaker does things no other speaker IN ITS CLASS can match. In this sense Worlds Finest Speaker.. Which I always hada huch it was that good of a sound,,IN ITS CLASS> Don't believe, give Josh at Madisound a call. Not sure if you are aware, Seas is one of the best, if not THE best low sens driver desiner lab in the world. Along with Scanspeak. Perfectly neutral speaker, no coloration, zero fatigue. Unlike most low sens xover types with their muddy upper bass/low mids. Vandersteen's and B&W's come to mind, among many others.. Magnesium, worlds best material for midwoofer cone musical resonances. |
You do realize most of us have had, or have heard full range drivers, right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I doubt 1% of all Agon members heard a NEW high tech. I am not talking about Lowther and Fostex, Neither of which i 've heard. But know neither match the 2 new high techs. I've heard 6+ wide bands, most do not qualify as high fidelity speakers. To gain that award, a speaker must make near perfect midrange. Equal to Seas Thors. Most here have yet to hear a old design. I don't believe you. WBers are more for the DIY geeks. |
Josh at Madisound. guess he’s your tech? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No, what happened was , I was asking Q’s about other speakers listed. maybe doing a Seas 3 way,, witha midrange.. WE were just chatting over the Thors, I mentioned how low coloration, and near zero fatigue, Josh brought up the value *Neutral* and this descript is really spot on. Unlike your A-Z xover types, Focals, vandersteens, which I’ve not heard, but judging the book by its cover (woofer cone material), which is guaranteed to have certain muddy resonances in upper bass/low mids. They all do. A-Z. Minus the magnesium, Which is the reason Seas chose that specific material. Go ask seas why they employ Mag,, my guess is for its neutral characteristics. Is my guess. You realize (I hope) Seas aint new at this speaker game. But many of you are not going to like the mag woofer, as you guys are must have your heavy sub bass super slam. For that super bass, you’ll have to go Scans . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6B6WjAzuc8&t=137s My tech likes paper cone woofers. Old Philips 10 inch and Realistic Nova 7's, He likes to stack these speakers.(separately of course, ) I had the Philips 8 inch paper, really nice, but no cigar next to the Seas Magnesium., dual woofers. The Philips was my 1st entry into high fidelity. Philips in fact, placed the tag at the top of their speaker. High Fidelity labatories. Which they were in their epoch. The Thors destroy them. But double stack,, maybe not. hard to say. I had 2 pairs of Philips and had no idea about double stacking. With a single high sens WBer no need for doubling up the WBer.s I tried it. Midrange too thick for my small listening room. Even in a large room, dual WBers won't really work. Wilson attempts to compete with the WBers high sens, but placing alot of speakers in one cabinet. I'm sure they are nice sounding, but no cigar next to a single WBer in midrange. Sensitivity is everything in a speaker. makes any amplifier much more efficient. |
