Almost all full range driver users are also low wattage tube amp users, it is a culture and if you question this pairing you are outside of the club. I have been running Lowthers for years with SS high powered amps and have been told many times why my concepts are no good by people who have never tried the combination.

All of the things you say about the SEAS Exotica are probably true, but in my opinion they will never gain a foothold with full range DIYers because of their cost, lack of proven enclosure designs, and the fact they are outside of the norm for high end full range drivers. I think SEAS would have been better off introducing a much lower cost version, chuck the Alnico magnet and expensive frame, and then issued the Exotica later as an upgrade.
