SEAS reed papers on sale at madi

I had to call and ask about these. Sounds like a bulk buy from a company called Triad . It looks like they are into home theater builds , not sure which model these were used in . Decent price , although Im not sure the 30hz fs is correct , I could be wrong .

Looks like FS>60hz from the graph. Picked up a pair anyway.

Why the sad face? Eton makes top-notch drivers. To me, they are second to Scan and Seas, and most others save a diamond here and there are a distant third.

Lol ...........

No more etons for me unless I find another deal like I did on my last pair. They are spendy. Curious what you think about those seas Kenny. I think they said they had 180 of them in stock

ani_101

What deal??? I missed out on the 90$ 5" ones

I bet they are nice.  Too bad I have more drivers than I know what to do with.

Triad is a huge brand, geared towards installer/commercial stuff.  Some of their models even use TOTL Scanspeak drivers.

ani_101

So how does these fare, are they good or great?

jr@mac

What is TOTL, perchance?

Turn2

Top of the line, I believe.

ani_101

Top Of The Line, had to look it up, sorta like SOTA (State Of The Art)

jr@mac

Oh, here I thought there was a bass alignment I had not heard of - sheez I am behind the times.

Kenny , are you still waiting on these from madisound? Curious if you have received them yet 

kennyk

Greeted by a box from Madisound  today. 2 ER18RN-TRDs have arrived and have some measurements to share.

ani_101

Look good, good sensitivity and low fever. Should be good. Anybody did a box model?

Dang! not bad at all . Im trying to talk myself out of a pair 

Nicholas_23

and thank you for taking the time to measure 

kennyk

Got some FR and distortion stuff.

kennyk

I'm liking these. 

Nicholas_23

Wow, you could damn near lay one graph over the other. You have a pair of twins

Wow great deal! Triad is one of the few speaker companies I have respect for. Their speakers are function over form, basic black boxes but with real solid engineering behind them. They use excellent quality drivers, excellent design principles, and charges a very reasonable price for the sound quality. 

kennyk

Picked up 2 more. Here's some comparisons.

FR & Dist graphs on the additional 2.
