i have a xavian altea, all seas prestige drivers. onced paired with a rotel and sounded really analytical with all the bells and whistles of a good imaging and soundstage but the sound is quite dry and frankly, quite experience ear-fatigue on prolonged listening. Similar qualities in my car when i paired seas lotus with zapco amps. BTW, seas mids are know to be dry but very very transparent. The tweeters are similarly uncolored and very neutral sounding.
Currently, i paired my floorstand with creek amp to give a bit of warm, lush tone. so far, so good for a budget combo. i got the thick delicate warm midrange that i wanted and added "weight" on the low frequencies.
next stop is to try some tubey
