I work with SEAS speakers for fifteen years, they are really a work of art from visual and engineering perspective,thank you very much for the video.

[@mathieufleury6787]

Thank you for this video. SEAS, one of the best speaker compagny.

[@Maks4909]

У меня СЧ Seas H-1304-08 изумительные!!! Доволен на все 100%. БРАВО!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hi-fidude6670]

Seas is some of the best out there! I have 70s speakers with the legendary 13 inch f-wk, the best woofer I have ever heard! I have other speakers with 70s Seas drivers and they sound very good, as well as some new tweeters like the H1189

[@TelmoMonteiro]

I enjoyed a lot watching this!

Excellent acoustics. Especially the car "Lotus" series.

I love Seas

[@navinadv]

I built my front, center, side and rear speakers using SEAS Excel Magnesium cone drivers. The W22EX, W15EX for the towers, W18EX and W12EX for the center and W15EX for the 4 side and rears. The tweeters are all ribbon tweeters from Fountek. These drivers aren’t suitable for tropical climates. Over time the cones started to deteriorate and developed a white powdery coating. When I removed the driver from the cabinet there was a small pile of the same white powder inside the cabinet. In retrospect I should have used their Nextel drivers. Since I was going to have to buy new drivers for replacements I decided to do a whole new design. My new speakers use ceramic cone woofers and mid-woofers from SB Acoustics now along with Morel tweeters. Hopefully they’ll survive India’s tropical climate better. Edit: if anyone wants to see the pics of the deteriorated cones, PM me and I can email them.

[@kantinansriprasert5999]

In my country​ it's very expensive. Some day I will buy it. Seas Excel​ is my fevorite.

[@fourthlayer]

Great Vid!

Thank you. Keep in touch for other videos coming soon.

Dear Mathieu and eCicerone, thank you a lots for your comment. We appreciate it. Wish all of you all the best.

[@iamthearmul]

I love my Jamo Concert 8 that have Seas excel drivers. 21 years old speakers now and flawless sound. When rubber in woofers deteriorate, I will find a way to repair them.

[@Jack-vo7ld]

Hello, thank you for your contribute.

[@XMIK1]

Great

[@robertkiss7003]

How about re-introducing the Argon speakers concept again? That would have been awsome. The elements are still sought after.

[@300ZCorradoVR6Z]

I love Seas. I wish their low frequency transducers had higher mechanical Q tho.

[@zindrackocuzack4081]

wow

[@Axiomedia]

Thank you for your comment. We appreciate it.

[@Landotter1]

I built my home theater speakers 15 years ago, using Seas Excel mid woofers and Raven ribbon tweeters for my FR L/R and center in a MTM design. Rear channels are simple 2 way but Seas Excel tweeters. They sound just as good or even better after all these years. I love them. Very transparent sound. Sounds as if the music is coming from behind the speakers, not from the boxes. VERY impressive speakers indeed. I would like to know how Seas is properly pronounced. I have heard 2 different ways... "seez" or "say-ahs"..... How do they say it in Norway?

[@TDUsafiro]

It's hard to explain how to pronounce.. "Say-ahs" is your best bet. Though there is no "y" sound.

do you make loudspeakers 50 watts 10 or 12 inch for guitar amplifiers

[@R.I100]

Whats the name of the audio track used in the background music?

how do they attach tinsel leads directly to the spider?

[@logotrikes]

Watching the Chinese factories the methodologies are all very similar...

[@terjee648]

Simular yes qualety not

[@zogzog1063]

nice and think you - but ironically better watched without the 'music'.

While I really do like the SEAS drivers, can anyone tell me why the magnesium cone deteriorate after a 5 years? I've had 2 pairs deteriorate in my Jamo Concert 11. I want to replace them again, but.. its expensive!

[@kurtlyons136]

+Cuong Tran There's no scientific reason your cones deteriorate. I've owned SEAS magnesium framed woofers for 40 years+ (25-FEW) and exhibit no deterioration at all

[@michaelcelani8325]

@@kurtlyons136 Kurt...He is talking about the cone itself, not the frame ( or basket to some ). I was the ProAc United States importer for 10 years, so am very familiar with SEAS and Scanspeak drivers. Thank you. M. C.

[@simondelusinne2017]

what is the difference between SEAS and B&W ?

[@Jack-vo7ld]

Seas is a speaker manufacture. B&W is a speaker system manufacture that uses speakers to build speaker systems
