Anyone build this Seas all metal 3 way?

I was cruising for Seas 3 way project & found this all aluminum setup by Udo Wohlgemuth. I would like to hear any opinion from you guys who had built it. The part numbers are German, but I think it uses the 27TBF/G + L15RLY/P + L26RFX/P. The vented box looks quite unusual

Haven't built it, but they should make an excellent speaker with the right crossover design, which i can't comment on.

Take a look at this design for reference/comparison:

Thanks, John's Seas 2 way looks like a winner. Tony also has a little cutie, the HATT MkIII or the higher priced Excel version - HATT SE MkII.

The second one, if you can afford the woofers, would be a great way to go. The DXT tweeter has become very popular very rapidly and designs are popping up all over the place.

Here's one I intend to build, and at a great price point:

The Seas ER18DXT ported two way

Note - these are 2-way ported designs - I'd recommend, rather than a 3-way, you consider using smaller, sealed cabinets and going with subs - cheaper, simpler.

Thanks for the recommendation.

When I was considering 2 ways the choice was either the Seas combo like the L18 or the SR71 vs the SS/Vifa combo ZD5. I've also heard good things about the ER18DXT, some says its better than the SR71 base on the tweeter alone.

Personally I prefer the more relaxed & slightly cleaner tonality of Seas drivers to Scan Speak/Vifas, my opinion of course.
