Morel, SEAS, Peerless, Scan-speak

I found a site that sells all of these brands. I have been looking for some time for Scan-Speak speakers. I have an e-rewards account and had enough to get a free 1yr subscription to Sound & Vision and saw an add in the back. The web site is:

www.solen.ca

I never realized just how expensive Scan-Speak is, but I know now it's what I'm after, after looking at graphs and their T/H parameters. I just thought I'd share this.

BTW, the Scan-Speaks I'm looking at are:

:25mm D3004/6020000 -1" tweeter

:150mm 15WU/4741T00 - 5 1/4" mid

:180mm 18W/4531G00 - 6 1/2" mid

I like the freq resp of the 5 1/4 the best, but prefer a 6 1/2". In this case the 6 1/2" is cheaper then the 5 1/4" due to the model. The 18WU/ is on back order, plus it's the most expensive.

The tweeter seems to have a decent 30 degree off axis response which is what I'm after.

MIght not need mentioning but that's a Quebec company so all the prices listed are in CAD, not USD.

I have been using Scan, SEAS, Peerless, and Morel for years! Great products. In fact the install im doing right now is primarily made up of these brands.

The best tweeters that I've ever heard are on sale there:

I bought them for almost $400 a few months ago, they are $280 now. I think at $400 they are still worth it.

I have used Madisound when ordering SEAS stuff in the past.

Vin, that's the exact tweet I want. So even at 3x the current price it's still worth it?

That's what I want to hear.
