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.

This post started in 2003! I hope the OP is not still looking for speakers.

Vandersteen use Seas and ScanSpeak drivers almost exclusively with proprietary cones, domes and baskets in most cases.

So there is more to this, IMO that being a catalog engineer :-)... but it helps to start with super high quality drivers

Good to see a  few faithful SEAS ffans here...I've considered addinga  2nd speaker the SB Acoustics,,but after some listens to YT uploads of SB's..I've decided to just stay with my SEAS Thors. after some 20 yrs, performs flawless.
I just do not think in the past 20 yrs, the SEAS Excel magnesuim line has been trumped yet.
You can hear my Thors here on YT, but I have a  new upload comming next week with susuperior driver tunes, the Svetlana 6550s. which may be the finest power tube ever made.
well will see and hear if that hunch is a  fact.
But yeah like the SEAS Magnesium and Millenium tweet is IMHO the finest drivers ever invented in that size range.
I understand Jadis has a  very nice speaker but its like $$$$$$ and gigantic, weighs in at way over 100 lbs = disqualified. 
I plan to upgrade the xovers in the Thors late this year.
