Why don't you post this in the forum? You will likely get more responses there.

I had a pair of SE IIIs for a brief period, and I do mean brief. When I pulled one of the drivers out, what did I see? A Scanspeak 4" midrange as advertised? Nope, an Audax. Whassup with that?

Beanie,

You are correct, it is a 5.25" driver, a typo on my part. However, this is directly from the website:

>Midrange/woofers: (Super Eclipse III)

Only the finest 5" carbon fiber cone units were deemed appropriate and were therefore selected. These SEAS sourced drivers are part of their state of the art Excel line. Excel combines the best designs with SEAS' experience in material technology and production.<

Kennetsu,

They were nice enough, but I would never pay full retail for them. I paid half that on the used market and feel that there is far better to be had in that price range. Bottom line is that they are good speakers, not great ones. And they had difficulty filling my 26 x 15.5 room. My now departed VS VR4 III HSEs made them sound like toys. So I guess you could say I was less than impressed.

If I were shopping again with your budget, I would consider that used pair of custom Montana speakers that are on the Gon right now. 11K retail going for 4K. And I DO love the sound of any Montana I have heard.
