Seas Kits

[Scottmoose]

I note that WD are now selling the Seas kit speakers, particularly Thor, and wondered if anyone could make some suggestions -Peter, your views would be much appreciated on this one as I've actually thought on and off about buying these, but with increasing uneasiness. Given that in this month's HFW there's a note that there's a new WD floor-stander with the 10" Seas driver (oh, I'm looking forward to that!), which to go for? The technical information on Thor says it's -3db point is at 44Hz. The response graph provided clearly indicates that these things begin to roll off at 200Hz, and are some 15db (or more) down at approximately 44Hz, anechoic, and the models I've run in Martin King's seminal MathCad worksheets agree. Hense my uneasiness. Would I be better, for rock music, with the soon-to-emerge WD floorstander, or is Thor still worth considering? I've finally got my single-driver bug out of my system, sold on my horns, and I need something that'll do justice to PJ Harvey at Glastonbury 1995, and also June Tabor.
