I am trying to decied betwee the following speakers setup. Powered by Tru 4.100v2 BB upgrade (125 or 150 x 4 @ 4 ohms)

SEAs Lotus

Reference RT27F

Seas Lotus Reference Woofer RW165/1

Reference Low Pass Filter

Reference High Pass Filter

(They offer a reference series component but it comes with RT25F tweeter, and I want the new one //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif )

Rainbow

Powerline CS 265

Scanspeak, Tru

Tru F1 Crossover

Scan-Speak 1" Ring Radiator (R2904-7000000)

Scan-Speak 6.5" Mid-Woofer, Revelator (18W8531G00)

Brax

6.1 2-Way

Dynaudio

System 240 Esotar

Morel

Elate 6

DLS

Ultimate Nobelium 6.2

Now I know there is kind of a vast difference in price ($100-300)

But please, anyone who has tested most/all of these speakers please give me ur most unbais suggestions. I know Rainbow is ranked high on these forums so that might not happen, but its worth a try. Please like I stated do not post throwing in some other components/setup that isnt even in the same catagory as these.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

why pair the best tweeter in the world with an average midbass?

I changed it, I wanted to go with the peerless, but I wanted a differnt model that the site doesnt sell. So changed to Scanspeak (wanted Peerless cuse their better for IB, the model I was looking at anyways)

i can speak for the seas lotus reference. if tuned and setup correctly you'll have leon's (dingaling's) car, haha. nah seriously, the midbass on the lotus references are awesome and IMO for those people who complained about the lack of midbass of these drivers either had wrong xover selections or their sub just plain didn't blend well into their system. i can also talk of the new lotus reference tweet. silky smoothe is all i can say. great off axis response.

not too many especially on this forum have tested many of these (unless your hammer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif ).

I couldn't find the best midbass >.
maybe if you to get those scan speak tweets, how about the seas w18nx?

I think you are going to have a tough time finding people who have heard/owned multiple sets that you listed to give you adequate feedback on pros and cons.

Ive heard/played with and/or owned most of the above, but just about anything I say may seem biased.

I kinda have a thought of what ur going to lean toward, but if u can compare them like which u would have over the toher (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) that would help too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I can't get those, the ones I listed above are the best I can do, for the SEAs its either the setup I put up or just the regular Reference component set with the RT25F

also think a better suggestion is run over eca or diyma as many of those people have ran scan speak, dynaudio, morel and seas lotus (newer versions too).

 

[phyphoestilic 5,000+ posts]

Yeah, was thinking about that, but this is the only forums I am currently registered on. Maybe I will post on those if I dont get good responses form this forum
