My search into the JTRs has led me to the likes of Seaton Sound. Anyone have any experience with these.
They are considerably more expensive than the JTR but also appear to be very competitive at their price point.
By comparison they seem to be more HT oriented than the JTRs even though they are powered. By reading the forums I came to the conclusion that they won't play as loud as the JTR, but they must make up for this somewhere since they are twice the price. One reason the are more expensive is obviously because they are self amplified. They also look nicer and appear to be more well built. They are about the same size as the JTR Triple 12 but weigh 53% more.

Here is a frequency response and phase response graph
http://seatonsound.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=3098564&trail=20#5 the frequency response looks to be pretty good. It shows +/-1.8db from 100hz to 20,000hz. I'm not knowledgeable enough to judge the phase response, but I'm sure some of you will understand it.
I'm not sure why the only show the fr graph from 100hz to 20khz since the range is from 55hz to 21khz.
I'm curious as to what some of the more well-educated member's objective opinions are on this product.
