Different opinions are the best thing for open and fair discussions. There were many opinions here and also from Absolute Sound saying how wonderfully awesome were the Spendor 8's. After I heard them, grant it on a aweful big expensive tube amp, were aweful. Not near worth the asking $3100. I didn't like anything about that little 2 way.
Now as to the Seas'/Tyler's. I've owned the Seas for 3 yrs and know this drivers voicing. The mids and highs are spectatular. I base this on 30 yrs in audio auditioning.
Besides many experts agree the Excel tweeter Millinium is well worth the 4180 it retails for. The Excel midwoofers are well known for their vocing characertistics from experts in the field.
Can you find me any report/review of spendor's drivers?
This is what i mean about us differing too widely in our opinions of the Excel's voicing of the mids/highs.
IMHO there's no driver like it. Of course you need the same quality in amp/cdp as the speaker itself.
I own a Jadis. I will admit there is slight beaming in the highs.
But all things taken into consideration, its the best we have. IOW no other drivers beats the Excel. At least not in my experience.
Feel free to disagree. Its an open forum.
