Preliminary results from an emission line imaging survey of a complete sample of Seyfert nuclei in early-type host galaxies will be presented. The sample is defined to include all known Seyfert nuclei with total magnitude m <= 14.5 and recessional velocities <= 10,000 km s(-1) residing in E, S0 and S0/a host types. Each galaxy in the sample is being imaged in the emission lines of [OIII]lambda 5007 and Hα . The aim of this survey is to determine the incidence of \lq`ionization cones\rq\rq \ in Seyfert galaxies and test the idea that the difference between the two types of Seyferts is due to different aspect angle. To facilitate this goal, the emission-line images will be compared to simulations of cones of various opening and viewing angles.
