Hi I had a chance to listen to a pair of vintage Tannoy Silver coaxial drivers -- alnico magnets and the lightest weight paper cone Tannoy has implemented. Needless to say these are incredible and exceeded my expectations. In some ways as good as the best electrostatic speakers I've listened to -- perhaps slightly less detailed and controlled, however the most natural sounding presentation I've heard. The sound that I heard through these was so open and uncompressed -- effortless like a ribbon panel. They are sublime. I would love to acquire a pair though the drivers are quite expensive. I hope to hear a pair of LC1A drivers at some point in my life. Does anyone have experience or opinions about these or other vintage coaxials -- Jensen, Lorenz, Philips, RCA, Altec, Vitavox? Which are you favorites?
I also recently discovered the Seas Excel C18EN002. Has anyone built speakers using these drivers? I'm sure they sound great.
