I'm diggin the video. Good song choice to compare those speakers too. I think that Cadence super tweet was way more crisp and precise than the selenium. If you say the mids were better too, I take your word for it. If the Cadence weren't there for comparison, the Seleniums would have come off perfectly nice and fine and sounded great. When you hear the two side by side, I agree, Cadence is the clear winner.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

I second all of this. Cadence tweets are super crisp and it felt like the mids were more natural sounding where as the seleniums maybe had a slight (clashing) sound on the tweets and the mids deff were not as clear. Selenium mids possibly even muffled sounding. Just my video watching opinion. Awesome stuff twisted. Time to twitch the rest and DO your damn A pillars already

The cadence tweeters sounded more prominent. I don't understand why they're positioned there on the side of the wall pointing out the window tho.

That's for at shows. Draws a crowd like moth's to a flame! lol

Thing I did notice about the Cadence side, the tweeter was alot sharper and precise, but not harsh, and the Cadence 8's looked like it had alot stronger midbass over the Seleniums.

cadence won in my eyes..... sounded WAYYY cleaner in all aspects

i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it

Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit. If I had a whole Hertz front stage my ears would jizz all over my cheeks.

Rich, as far as vocal definition, which did you think was more defined between the mids? The Seleniums sounded to be a little more defined when you played Broken wings to me but this is a video. Never know what the camera mic may be losing or distorting.
