Tyler Acoustics & Quad

Actually, the Scanspeak Revelator Tweeter sounds great with the SEAS W18s. I own both the Taylo Reference Monitors (that use the Revelator and a W18) and the Linbrook Signatures (that use the Millenium and 2 W18s in an MTM design)...

While the Linbrook Signature Monitor clearly gets better bass and throws a wider soundstage (although the Taylos seem to have a taller one), I am not sure yet if I prefer the Millenium to the Revelator. They both are fabulous tweeters, but each has its positives and (to a much lesser degree) negatives. I would describe the Revelator as the more detailed tweeter vs. the Millenium that is just a bit more "natural" sounding. You really can't go wrong with either when paired properly to the W18s. I know Ty uses very different crossover points on the different tweeters.

The bottom line is that Ty makes some fabulous speakers, and quite frankly it is hard to go wrong with any of them in my opinion (although I admittedly have not heard the new freedom line).

Good luck,

Dave, That perty much what Ty said. To his ear the Scanspeak is smoother and more detailed. The Seas more natural. But still they are very close in these areas.

Ty will perty much let a buyer choose the tweeter they want. There are Linbrook owners who have opted for the Scanspeak and Taylo owners who went with the Seas.

Cost of the raw tweeter is very close.

I picked up a pair of Ref III with the Scanspeak tweeter and they sound great, very smooth and detailed.
I also am trying out some Silver speaker wire and liking them alot. Ty uses silver jumpers to connect the upper and lower speakers. As said above either tweeter will work great. Just depends on the sound your looking for. What works for me may not work for you! Give Ty a call as he is top notch person.
Happy Listening!

Yes, the 9900 revelator is silky smooth and detailed. Montana loudspeakers $55,000 WAS flagship model uses the same tweeter as does Sonus Fabers Amanti Homage ($22,000).

I don't really view the Seas as a upgrade more of a lateral move or different flavor.

Well at least I opened up a discussion about some of the world's FINEST drivers, the Seas' EXCEL line. These drivers have 50 years of solid research behind them. I feel they made the best. I would not change out my Seas Millinium T25 tweeter for anything. Its natural, as you say. Why look/listen further. If you like Scan, than fine. I prefer Seas.
More importantly, are not these W series midwoofers just awesome in their natural bass, NO BARK low midrange!!! Finally after 5 years of research I found a speaker , "til death do us part".
I plan to get the Jadis DA60, has 8 KT88's, should really bring forth all the dynamics in these MTM's.
2 years from now.
