I was going to create a thread but I guess I will just ask it here.

Im also looking for he absolute best midrange driver, 300Hz to 5000Hz would be nice.

They are not cheap but I love ATC mids.

Have you ever try ScanSpeak Dome mid range?

I had PMC IB1's that had Vifa's that look like(and probably are) those and sounded great with a good X-over.

I think PMC now uses Volt VM752 midranges but they are even more expensive than ATC.
Over here the ATC non 's' costs £270, the Volt £450!

"Absolute best" is very tough to define

Do you need something with a lot of power handling? Off-axis response requirements?

Another brand I'd put up there with ATC and SS is a company called Hybrid Audio Technologies...they were started by someone in the high-end car stereo world, but their stuff also does really well at home

yes,I have 4 non "S" and one "S"(for center channel).I beleive they no longer make DIY "S" versions?I got mine from Chris at Solen and he is great to deal with.The Volt is like $750 or so(CRAZY!!!) and I donnot think they have sold many?
