Seas' Thors kit up N runnin

Finally after 3 years of waiting, I ordered the Seas' kit from Madisound, the Thor's a MTM xover designd by Joseph Appolito. Has 2 midwoofers, W17 and a high tech tweeter, the Millenium. Though they are 87db, running a Jadis Orch Reference tube amp, 4 KT 90's + a Cayin cdp. Very nice sound. I'll never complain again. Note: these speakers demand a Class A amp, anything less, don't touch them. The tone controls on the Jadis need to be spiked for the higher frequencies. Paul

Anyone have any questions, please by all means feel free to ask anything you care to. I'd love to field questions. I've heard my fair share of speakers.

I see this thread has been lying low, but how could it be that nobody could answer Bartokfan's challenge: A speaker as good or better than Seas/Thor, no more than 70 lb, no more than $2000?

Of course, it is unfair to compare a DIY design where you do the assembling with models where someone else, possibly an expert builder, labors on it.

I don't know how much to allow for someone else to assemble the speaker. But to make it fair and to pick a nice round number, can we make it $3000?
This will bring in Salk QW, Zu, a couple of Tylers in the play.
