The seas tweeter is warmish. Scanspeak is different. It sounds more detailed. Both are excellent quality. The tweeter changes the entire personality of the speaker.

Seas Excel Magnesium Drivers - Warm Sounding?
Hi,
I own Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Monitors using two 7" Seas Excel drivers in a MTM configuration and really enjoy the spacious and precise sound. I will say they are a little on the warm side of neutral and a little laid back. I used to own Hales T5's which used a 5" Seas Excel driver but I don't remember that being as warm sounding in the lower midrange as the Tylers (I realize not an apples to apples comparison).
My question, is the Seas Excel an inherently warm sounding driver or would the crossover, cabinet construction, damping be contributing more to the warmth of this speaker?
This is a pretty popular driver (silver cone with copper phase plug) in a lot of very expensive speaker brands.
Thanks for your comments
