I may be naive or uninformed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note all the Wilson reviews. Not even once do they mention Sacspeaks paper composite style sound. No thanks. magnesium is superior to paper in upper bass./low midrange. Seas has magnesium. Wilson offers Scanspeak paper comp sound. No thank you. Lets get real here folks. No more snakeoil |
@gs5556 -- Not true at all. "Paper" tends to denote taking the cheap way out but is in fact a complicated mess of fibers, polymers, resins etc., engineered for light weight (has to react quickly), high rigidity (prevents deformation) and longevity. Paper's been a proven performer for decades - only recently have things like Kevlar and metal cones been introduced, and while they have advantages and disadvantages over paper, they alone do not make a speaker high end by virtue of their properties. Very well put. |
If Magnesium was not offered, I'd have no choice but to go with paper. Thankfully Seas figured out how to get Magnesium to work, http://www.seas.no/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=49&Itemid=246 |
Seas answer to Scanspeaks newest paper composite woofers which are indeed phenomenal.. But this NX001, a driver which Troel Gravesen had some imput in the design, (Titanium voice coil etc), This NXE001 is something equal to Scanspeaks top midwoofers. WOW factor off the charts. Tempting for sure,, but I think I'm going to swap the bottom W18E001 for a Magnesium W22 EX001. Seas vs Scanpsek, 6 of 1 /half dozen the oher But I am a Seas devotee for life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVCZ8qDDStk |
