Mystery Seas Driver on eBay. Any information welcome.

Hello- Saw these drivers on an eBay post.

http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...ntPage=ReplyToMessages&receiverId=acefoto&x=y

I could not find anything on line about them. I contacted the seller who said they were takeouts from a Tangberg Video Conferencing System. The nearest match that he could find was an H1141 L15RLY P

But the seller said there are major differences (?) in the outward appearances between the two drivers. Both have aluminum cones and phase plugs. The seller lists them as part of the Prestige series.

Are any of you Seaophiles out there acquainted with this driver?

SEAS typically makes very nice drivers- for the $$ listed these could well be a good purchade!

What is your plan for this driver? AK member "baco99" has several high quality drivers around this size- talk t him and compare. You would be well surprised!

I planned to build a two-way system using two of these seas drivers with an active L-R crossover at 1200 hz. to a 1970's Heil Air Motion Transformer. Will combine later with a sub. Since la very ow end response will not be needed with the seas I figure that not knowing itsT-S parameters for the perfect box alignment may not be that critical. Of course, I could be all wrong.

Hmmmm interesting! Are you wanting to use two of these per cabinet, with an AMT as the tweeter and and active crossover set around 1.2khz- correct?

Yes. That's right. Have not yet determined which pre-amp and power amps to use. I have a number to choose from. Mostly solid state built in the last Millennium. Will have to audition the usual suspects. Aluminum cones are known for being spiky in the 8 to 11 k range. My 4th order L-K crossover should take care of most of this. Plus my 60 plus hearing loss should help too.
