Seas' Thors kit up N runnin


Finally after 3 years of waiting, I ordered the Seas' kit from Madisound, the Thor's a MTM xover designd by Joseph Appolito. Has 2 midwoofers, W17 and a high tech tweeter, the Millenium. Though they are 87db, running a Jadis Orch Reference tube amp, 4 KT 90's + a Cayin cdp. Very nice sound. I'll never complain again. Note: these speakers demand a Class A amp, anything less, don't touch them. The tone controls on the Jadis need to be spiked for the higher frequencies. Paul

I see this thread has been lying low, but how could it be that nobody could answer Bartokfan's challenge: A speaker as good or better than Seas/Thor, no more than 70 lb, no more than $2000?

Of course, it is unfair to compare a DIY design where you do the assembling with models where someone else, possibly an expert builder, labors on it.

I don't know how much to allow for someone else to assemble the speaker. But to make it fair and to pick a nice round number, can we make it $3000?
This will bring in Salk QW, Zu, a couple of Tylers in the play.
