SEAS Thor Speaker / NCMS Rhythm 9500 Unlimited

Just returned from Jamaica then Hilton Head,,,,,3 weeks without access to the net!

I still have not made up my mind yet on which one, but the itch is getting intense! I've got to do something soon!!!!

Trelja, I think we need to get in touch again. As always your points carry much validity and your interest in speakers sparks my old time passion for them. If you remember, we live rather close to each other. (Discussed Community Audio) Your preference for Vifa is a solid one. I used them to a great degree back in the late 80's to early 90's for custom built jobs and they always won the price/performance contest.

Keith, thanks for the direct comparison between the 2 kits! That is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Question??? Since you built your Thors last year which cabinet plan did you end up using? There was discussion of the original plans at SEAS website being preliminary blue prints and ended up not being what J.D. finished with.

Tweekerman, Thank you for all your input on this topic too. I love your enthusiasm for the hobby! Keep me posted if you hear anything else at M.A.D. please. I've got a ton of catching up to do after being away for 3 weeks and know I will miss something.

Best Regards,

The big thing going on at Madisound for me at least is the 3 threads on midranges. Seems the Zellaton by Goerlich, Germany is voted "best" by one Greve, a DIYer who says he's got ATC's , Seas, Accuton's and a bunch other midranges on his work table. But seems to be a problem for me, the Zell's are 4 ohms, i've got a 8 ohm kit going. There's always a catch. The Eton's got big votes as well. But their sensitivity is low, like 85db. So i don't think that'll work with my Seas + Ribbon. BTW Seas has a new W26 beauty out in June. I'm trying to see if a 2 way may work, with a ribbon that goes to 1K hz and the W26 goes upto 1Khz. Will this be doable? Or give me your pick with this driver in a 2 or 3 way.
