To match 2 Seas W22NY001 (http://www.seas.no/index.php?option=...d=72&Itemid=96) for an MTM setup

Vifa XT25TG30-04 (http://www.tymphany.com/xt25tg30-04-0)
or
Seas T29CF-002 Crescendo (http://www.seas.no/index.php?option=...d=59&Itemid=83)
or
ScanSpeak R2904/7000-09 Ring Radiator (http://www.tymphany.com/r2904-700009)

The seas tweeter I dont know anything about. Ive heard good things about the scanspeak. The vifa ive heard good things also, but was told that it should be crossed a little higher than normal. Ive never used ant of them, but Im seriously considering the vifa for my next project. Other than that I dont have any useful info...good luck

Ive used both the Vifa and SS for years, the latter is more detailed but has a very narrow axis. The Vifa is almost as good for roughly 10 times less money. Both are fantastic drivers. But the Vifa is a much better bang for the buck. Seas however, makes drivers which usually match very well together, so for this design I'd lean towards the Seas.

Aye Carumba, those are some heavy duty drivers you're looking at!

I really can't even add much to this, but I can throw a monkey wrench into the machinery:

Someone with whom I have a great deal of respect recently made a new set of speakers for himself, pulling out the wallet way more than he originally intended. He ended up going with the Morel 110's.

And another tweet that gets a lot of play that I've see are the Hiquphon tweets.

Both drivers are in the $220 range and, at least to me, are more in line with the cost of the mid/woofers you're going to use. For reference, the mids my friend used with his speakers were some Skaaning drivers that were ~$385/each (I think it was something like that.. could be a little more or less).

Then again, I haven't actually heard any of the drivers mentioned yet.

i'm looking to use a vifa XT19 because i reckon the xt series are hard to beat for price vs performance (at least on paper )

yes the price of the xt25 is amazing compared to the others and its frequency response (on paper) is great, now I'm hesitating if I should get 4 or 2 (2 in each bookshelf or 1)....

Would 1 keep up with the 2 Seas 8"

[SQBubble]

anyone?

2 xt25 for each bookshlef or 1 to match 2 8" seas w22ny001?

thats good to know, thx, How did the morel sounds? do you know at what frequency he had it crossed at?

[jeremy7]

i would think that that one vifa tweeter would match well with two 8" seas

I haven't heard them (he lives in a different state) but he LOVES them. In fact, he says his current rig is the best set of speakers he's ever heard. And he's heard a LOT.

As for the frequency, I can't recall specifics, but I'm sure they were in the typical 2k-2.5k range.
