Prestige Series
The LAVAL's are a high value two way stand mount speaker utilizing quality European components configured in a rear ported cabinet for extended bass and efficiency. Finished with premium paint or real wood veneers, gold plated wire terminals, oxygen free pure copper internal wiring, optional magnetic grills, specialized dampening materials and strong internal bracing combine to create amazing musical instruments with extraordinary value.
Delivery is on us!
TIMELESS BEAUTY
The PRESTIGE series is a classically styled range and represents amazing value. From painted or real wood veneers, European components, optional magnetic grills, gold terminals, rigid internal cross bracing and oxygen free pure copper wiring all add up to sonic perfection in a affordable package that has been built to last. The LAVAL's also pair perfectly with our Z stands.
ATTENTION TO DETAILS
There are many elements the go into making our speakers special. Some obvious and some hidden. The LAVAL stands out internally because we use rigid cross bracing, pure oxygen free copper wiring, tuned ports and specialized dampening that enhances your music and personal enjoyment.
Better components,
better sound!
When it comes to build quality, sound reproduction and value you won't find better than SEAS PRESTIGE SERIES components. We have partnered with our Norwegian Friends and have blended their class leading components into fine MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS in a timeless style.
No less important is the hand built bespoke crossover that utilizes French made components by Solen. They too are of the highest caliber and an extremely crucial element in music reproduction.

A High Definition, 1inch aluminum/magnesium alloy dome tweeter with DXT® lens.
An optimally shaped dome and a wide SONOMEX surround, both manufactured by
SEAS, ensure excellent performance and consistency.
The compensation magnet increases the sensitivity and reduces the magnetic stray field.
A fine mesh grid protects the diaphragm.
Stiff and stable rear chamber with optimal acoustic damping allows the tweeter to be
used with moderately low crossover frequencies.
This revolutionary DXT® tweeter addresses the major issues regarding directivity
control in traditional loudspeaker designs. DXT® solves several well-know issues
regarding directivity control, off-axis response, integration with midrange units and baffle diffractions.
6 1/2 inch High Fidelity Mid/Bass driver with an injection molded metal chassis.
New Curv cone, a woven polypropylene with excellent internal damping together with perfectly matched moving parts gives a smooth, extended frequency response.
Bumped back plate in the magnet system, together with the very long and light weight copper clad aluminum voice coil, allow extreme coil excursion with low
distortion. Heavy copper ring below the T-shaped pole piece will reduce non linear and modulation distortion.
Bullet shaped phase plug reduces compression due to temperature variations in the voice coil, avoids resonance problems which would occur in the volume between the
dust cap and the pole piece and increases the long term power handling capacity.
Extremely stiff and stable injection molded metal basket, keeps the critical components in perfect alignment. Large windows in the basket both above and below the
spider reduce sound reflection, air flow noise and cavity resonance to a minimum.
This driver uses Seas SpiderRing® technology
Hand made crossover built with Solen components from France
The crossover is symmetrical with a 2.2kHz crossover frequency. The crossover point was chosen so that the directivity of the drivers make the overall power response extremely smooth, as can be seen in the measurements. Complexity of the crossover was held as low as possible without sacrificing any of the audible performance. This is possible to achieve, because of the drivers very smooth response. On the woofer there is a simple 2nd order network, and on the tweeter there is a equally simple 3rd order network and an L-pad to trim the tweeter sensitivity. Together they align the phase of the drivers and this gives us an excellent smooth inter-driver transition. The roll off of the drivers is steep enough to allow them to work effortless even at high power levels, thus maintaining the smooth and detailed sound quality at all levels and allowing them to be as dynamic as possible.
