Default Scanspeak 12m - used in any professional designs?

I haven't seen the Scanspeak 12m midrange used in any commercial loudspeaker designs. Does anyone know of any? (I've seen the great designs on Troels, but just curious if any major loudspeaker manufacturer uses a 12m.)

there is another.. I will have to dig into a few mags around the house to find it.. it was a ring rev/12m/18w..

I love that driver.. in regards to a pure midrange driver, IMO there isn't much better..

My last set of loudspeakers used the ring/12m/18w...

Another related speaker is the C-QUENZE 15H (~221.00 Eur) in the Stradivari.

12m midrange is used in all revelator 3 way Xavian 360 produced in Europe. There are reviews in English, Danish and so on. It resembles, and not only by selection of drivers used, TG Ekta Grande.
Did SF Cremona use larger 15m revelator midrange rather than 12m?

As far as I remember the Cremona used the larger 15M midrange. It has a few advantages over the 12M - can be crossed much lower, has copper rings around the pole piece and a little lower inductance of the voice coil. It is also cheaper The 12M should have better off-axis response.

Hey, cool, thanks for the info. I think the Sonus Faber models used larger midbass drivers. The Xavian 360 might be the only commercial one (thanks!). I wonder if it's because the 12m isn't cost-effective. I'm thinking about building the Ekta from Troel's site.
