Tang Band 2145 in action

You conveniently left out the parts that don’t back up what you claim about the Thors. "A taste of high end sound" is not the same thing as "the best in the world". That is some really classic cherry-picking and making up of things that weren’t even stated.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would hoe you could figure out the context of **worlds finest speaker*** , Knowing the reference is , **In its class size,** dual 6  inch woofers + tweet.
maybe can't6 compete with Wilson;'s massive 8 driver , 1000 lb speaker at $900G's.  . 
And maybe just matches Troel Gravesen's best 2.5 way designs. 
Still the review is spot on saying the speaker does things no other speaker IN ITS CLASS can match.
In this sense 
Worlds Finest Speaker..
Which I always hada  huch it was that  good of a   sound,,IN ITS CLASS>
Don't believe, give Josh at Madisound a  call. 
Not sure if you are aware, Seas is one of the best, if not THE best low sens driver  desiner lab in the world.
Along with Scanspeak.
Perfectly neutral speaker, no coloration, zero fatigue. 
Unlike most low sens xover types with their  muddy  upper bass/low mids.
Vandersteen's and B&W's come to mind, among many others..
Magnesium, worlds best material for midwoofer cone  musical resonances. 

Josh at Madisound.

guess he’s your tech?

You do realize most of us have had, or have heard full range drivers, right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I doubt 1% of all Agon members heard a  NEW high tech.
I am not talking about Lowther and Fostex, 
Neither of which i 've heard. 
But know neither match the 2 new high techs.

I've heard 6+ wide bands, most do not qualify as high fidelity speakers.
To gain that award, a  speaker must make near perfect midrange.
Equal to Seas Thors. 
Most here have yet to hear a  old design. 
I don't believe you.
WBers are more for the  DIY geeks.

Josh at Madisound.

guess he’s your tech?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No, what happened was , I was asking Q’s about other speakers listed.
maybe doing a Seas 3 way,, witha midrange..
WE were just chatting over the Thors, I mentioned how low coloration, and near zero fatigue, Josh brought up the value *Neutral* and this descript is really spot on.
Unlike your A-Z xover types, Focals, vandersteens, which I’ve not heard, but judging the book by its cover (woofer cone material), which is guaranteed to have certain muddy resonances in upper bass/low mids.
They all do.
A-Z.
Minus the magnesium, Which is the reason Seas chose that specific material.
Go ask seas why they employ Mag,, my guess is for its neutral characteristics. Is my guess.
You realize (I hope) Seas aint new at this speaker game.
But many of you are not going to like the mag woofer, as you guys are must have your heavy sub bass super slam.
For that super bass, you’ll have to go Scans

My tech likes paper cone woofers.
Old Philips 10 inch and Realistic Nova 7's, 
He likes to stack these speakers.(separately of course, )
I had the Philips 8 inch paper, really nice, but no cigar next to the Seas Magnesium., dual woofers.

The Philips was my 1st entry into high fidelity.
Philips in fact, placed the tag at the top of their speaker.
High Fidelity labatories. 
Which they were in their epoch. 
The Thors destroy them. 
But double stack,, maybe not. 
hard to say.
I had 2 pairs of Philips and had no idea about double stacking. 
With a  single high sens WBer no need for doubling up the WBer.s
I tried  it.
Midrange too thick for my small listening room. Even in a  large room, dual WBers won't really work. 
Wilson  attempts to compete with the WBers high sens, but placing alot of speakers in one cabinet.
I'm sure they are nice  sounding, but no cigar next to a single  WBer in midrange. 
Sensitivity is everything in a  speaker.
makes any amplifier much more efficient.

Consider me the counter weight to Stereophile's pumping spakers past 20+ years.
Seas Thors worlds finest speaker.

You said this, not me. You were comparing them to any speakers they have reviewed. You have compared the Thors repeatedly with speakers costing many multiples more that you have never even seen in person, let alone heard when properly set up. There is no context or cost class to your constant rantings. Quit backtracking on what you said.

Not sure if you are aware, Seas is one of the best, if not THE best low sens driver desiner lab in the world.

I am more than aware of Seas and ScanSpeak. What you are clearly not aware of is that there are multiple other driver manufacturers that compete with them and in some cases, surpass them (GASP!). Accuton, ATC, Audio Technology, Eton, Morel, Purifi, SB Acoutstics, Volt, and Wavecor to name some. In short, the Seas Magnesiums are good but absolutely not the best in the world. 

WE were just chatting over the Thors, I mentioned how low coloration,

Magnesium, worlds best material for midwoofer cone musical resonances.

Not true. The review that YOU linked here mentioned three distinct colorations of the Thor that I quoted in my last post. You didn't choose to comment on that though. Interestingly enough, I heard those same colorations in older videos of yours highlighting the Thors. I believe his description of those colorations far more than you saying they have none, because I heard them. I have also owned speakers that had the Seas Magnesiums in them (Tyler Acoustics Super Tower) which exhibited the same coloration. Clearly representative of the driver.

Focals, vandersteens, which I’ve not heard, but judging the book by its cover (woofer cone material), which is guaranteed to have certain muddy resonances in upper bass/low mids.

There is a profound level of ignorance in this statement. So much so, that it is difficult to respond to. I am sure that you can't figure out what it is though.

Midrange too thick for my small listening room. Even in a large room, dual WBers won't really work.

It may or may not be the room. Certainly, it has to do with the fact that you are clueless with respect to speaker design. There are too many variables that you haven't even remotely considered that may cause this rather than using two drivers. It is both comical and sad at the same time.
