scan speak, worth the money???


Hello,
I have just finished an electronic x over network prodject for my HT room. It has two aux. x over boards and level controls not being used so I just got this bright idea to build a new center channel speaker. I currently have a dual five inch woofer conf. with a one inch fabric dome tweeter. All current drivers are Vifa middle of the road stuff.

My ultimate question is are these scan speak drivers really better than say Seas or Vifa or Peerless if you were to compare all of thier top of the line stuff? I keep reading about the motor structure of the scan speak drivers and how great they are! I will be using for my new design, a three way config. two eight inch woofers, one four inch mid, and one tweeter, all electronicly crossed over 24db per octave, with trim controls for the mid and tweeter with 12 position rotary switches. Drivers will be driven with Rotel amps.

So can anyone comment on these drivers as being the real deal or not. Or would I just be paying for alot of R and D??
Regards,
Vince
