Tang Band 2145 in action

The Tyler speakers that I mentioned that I owned (Super Tower) have the Millenium tweeter in them, so yes, I am well aware of them and what they sound like

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did the Tyler ST's have the Seas Excel W18's??
If yes, then you do know exactly some of the issues in both the Seas Millennium and Excel W18E001's

You and I are actually in full agreement.
I did say **worlds finest** based on comparison with B&W, many other very popular xover types, Thors come out a  clean, clean, undeniable winner ..
So recant in due order here. 
In its calss, one of, but not  THE, best sounding 2 way speakers under $2G's.

Now you and I both have issues with Seas Excel
What does this say.
Boiled down...all xover type speakers suffer from some liabilites and handicaps, 
Issues are there.
Things I can not deal with, nor will accept and never again will consider as a  Front Center speaker.
As assists, Yes , here they have a  essential place ina   WBer speaker SYSTEM.

For my orchestra, I need **more the better*** 
If I had a  Buckingham Palace size listening room.
I'd have dual DavidLouis VX8
's. The Seas W26 aluminum/magnesium woofer and  a  good tweeter.


Considering I have so much cash invested in the W18's, I'm will make good use and bring them in as assist on the 8 WBer.. all due to their magneficient magnesium cone which makes bass/upper bass/low mids, nice soft, recessed (87db), no resonances and blends perfectly with the WB's bass.


Sure there are plenty of WBers comming out of china that are garbage.
Just like you have garbage xover types. 

Xover types, the popular brands, all have some issues, No one is denying that here.
And we can all agree a  single 8 incher WB, also may not meet the needs of heavy hard hitting audioophiles that demand massive SPL, powerful SLAM bass, stunning glorious highs.

Maybe a  AER/Voxativ/Feastrex  can achieve this high level of fidelity/powerful soundstage in the 3 fq ranges,,,

I'll never know.

Bottom line
WBers voice a  seamless midrange which hardly no xover types can compete. 
Troels Gravesen speaks of this crisis in the xover points all the time on his site.
Issues which I do not hear in a  high tecg WBer8.

Is there any guarantee the Wilson's big Stonehedge size speakers voice midrange in such a  fashion to  challenge the WBers mids?

Take a look my site  all my speakers based on Tang Band 2145 with bass
support and supertweeter also. i find this is the best, long time ago. The male voices , piano sound natural and fool body, compare with speakers based on one driver, does not matter price ,   all my customers ( not too many) came out from speakers market, But mainstream guys reading bul------t  review  and stay on the market long long time

I’m one of Greg’s customers. My Bache Audio Tribeca’s replaced a PK rebuilt pair of Quad 57’s. The Tang Band drivers in my speakers are modified by Greg and augmented by 2 woofers and a super tweeter. I can testify that the midrange in my speakers is absolutely beautiful. Open and holographic and balanced from top to bottom. No thin distorted sound with these.

I will visit your site

100% agreement with your assessment of the 
Tang Band 2145, which I think has a consense as the best of their 3 8 inch WBers.

Might be their latest model.
Voices , life like presence. 
Mids clean, neutral, no muddyness, no  coloration, highs with that aluminum phase pluf extended with sparkles.

*Full body** Yes bass goes low enough (40hz roll off is my guess) rich detailed mis, and highs to say 12k+ hz's. = Nice detailed sound stage.

You know I could be happy with a  single WBer , no assist.
But for padded lows, added *ambience* on the highs, 
Why not. 
As I say, the bass from the added woofer must be as clean and neutral as the TB2145, otherwise there will not be the meshing of both bass fq's. 
What is the fq cut off on your woofers?
What fq does the super tweeter kick in?

Quad 57’s.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Legendary Quad 57’s,
My tech mention this speaker presents the finest midrange he’s ever heard.

Which backs up my hunch these 2 WBers midrange has authority and eloquence.
Equal to any panel/stat’s supreme mid voicing.

~~~Futhermore,, while looking for Bache's links, I notice you left a  customer comment and states all the top class speakers you've auditioed in the past.
Thats quite a  top notch quality of speakers you mention there.

Again , my hunch the midrange in this TB2145  excels over the  mids in the xover low sens types due to inherent weaknesses, which a xover can not mend nor  fix.
