Scanspeak?>>Just curious.>>JohnHi John;Seas and/or Scan drivers both were used in B&O speakers as well as other brands.The difference was, 4 ohms impedance, versus Dynaco 8 ohms and in the 16 ohm A-50 woofers, the Dynaco tweeters were all 8 ohms.There was also a few different sizes from Dynaco's made as well.In the case of which came first, the chicken or the egg, it appears that Scan showed up first bearing the Dynaco A-25 logo and later, date unknown or at least un-published thus far, Seas drivers were being used.I have never read anywhere when and why this transition took place.I have seen mirror image systems, vent above the tweeter and vent below the tweeter.I have no information as to, why.There was no public announcement or was there at the warantee depot level and unless we have a new future member, we will read about it in the future.Remember, as time goes on we will lose more remembered information.As you can imagine, what a sticky situation for a manufacturer to change driver sources, if not enclosure suppliers, sources mid stream.I wonder how many sytem owners have both versions in their home stereo systems.Until a future report is published here, we won't have the un-official evaluation as to whether there is an audible difference between Scan and Seas systems.I don't anticiapte a noticeble difference.Which version did J. Gordon Holt rave about? Scan or Seas?We may never ever know that answer.I have both systems and when I am better, I will do a sonic comparison, perhaps.
