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.

Linkwitz Labs Orion. Auditioning can be challenge, but if you contact Linkwitz he can usually arrange something. These are some of the best speakers I've heard, regardless of price, but the Seas tweeters are one of the weaker points in the design, IMO.

ATC makes their own tweeters for the record, at least now they are...

I also like Seas Drivers, particularly their excel line.  I owned a pair of Jamo Concert 11 speakers and liked them very much!  Vifa, Morel, Scan Speak, Raal, Peerless, Accuton, SB Acoustics, Satori, all make excellent drivers as well but Seas Excel definitely have a laid back, non fatiguing, romantic sound to them that I love.

I agree that speakers utilizing Seas drivers are particularly good sounding. I use the Seas Froy mk3 kit from Madisound and it's quite spectacular. If your handy w woodworking consider it.
