I think some of you think I just happened to make up this idea of a Reference Speaker, just out of the blue as if the idea just poped in my head , not based on reality ck.
Well acutally this idea has a long history of exp behind it.
As I listen to mujsic on the WBer,, ideas get rolling around in my head.
I start asking Q's. and Thats how I cam up with this idea of aReference Speaker. A speaker that could be placed next to a challenger and make a valid reference comparison.
The only speaker i know that is as neutral as Seas Excel Thor, is this wide band high tech 8.
Same neutral, and natural presentation of music, but on a much bigger soundstage (= much higher db sens = Destroys Seas Excel Thors)
The Seas Thors were in soem ways my old Reference Speaker, but now surpassed with the new high tech wide bands 8.
btw the Excel line is going on 20 yrs+ , and so has fallen behind on in new developments.
Seas should have concentrated on making a super high tech wide band.
Their current 15 yr old WB model is a bomb. I've not heard their Alnico Full Range, again its 20+ yrs old and no doubt far surpassed by the 2 chinese labs.
+ Very pricey at $700 each.
Seas just never took the initiative to further develope the wide band speaker. Guess the money was not there.
Due to the hard cold fact the USA audiophile is obsessed, if not POSESSED , with his traditional box /xover things.
Seas has to go where the money is.
The Wide band 8's are now finally here and yet no one seems to take note, nor show any serious interest.
Speakers have always been my passion.
Lucky for me the chinese tech geek figured out the design to deliver what I believe is
*Reference Sound*
This keeps me off the speaker Merry-Go-Round.
