Cool at$750/pair intro price (will go up) and I like the short height around 12in, but I prefer the JBL L52 at $1k/pair as I've already listened to them and they were musical. I'll stick with my GoldenEar BRX ($950 each, 90 db sensitivity, AMT ribbon tweeter 40hz-35khz). Apple Music lossless
Hi Jay - Scott DeLoache of Starke Sound here. Thanks for stopping by the room. We really enjoyed the interview with you and hosting your team. We're really excited with the Beta7's and look forward to spreading the word! FYI - the first units will be ready to ship mid-June this year.
Oh man, thanks for this high quality presentation, great interview. It's nice to see a good product priced to be super affordable, nice looking bookshelf speakers and stands.
The Eversolo Amp is available from a few different websites, but the one that sells U.S. for $799 is out of stock. I can't find any price for the A3 which is annoying. I can't find it on their site either.
Another great interview and entertaining video, thank you! Can you tell me how the Beta 7's bass and midrange, overall sound compares to a bigger "bookshelf" like the Wharfedale Lintion? Thank you for any extra insight!
6:27 You asked him about the "wave guide" on the tweeter being responsible for the smoothness and detailed sound but all he said is that it is for aesthetics and more rigid plate. Biz confusing. Speakers look nice and the price seems fair. Would love to hear some bass tracks on them.
I wish i lived in la. I totally would have boughtvthat crazy red sub that was like 85% off on ur site. Delivery was too much. Someone got an amazing deal unless its still there.
Hhmmm 🤔 what's the overall signature of the Beta 7? Where do the stage/lead vocals/lead instruments sit? Forward? In line with the speakers? A bit pushed back? And do they have good tactile, mid/upper bass?

@@shaolin95 Because the Starke Sound Beta 7 have a low sensitivty at 87 db , which requires an amp that's twice as powerful to make the same volume as as my GoldenEar BRX at 90 db sensitivity. And the Starke isn't as fast on transients because it plays to 23kHz versus my GoldenEar BRX at 35kHz. And the Starke is 2 inches taller than the GoldenEar BRX which increases the chances of blocking my 150 in screen.
Yes it does make sense if you want to sell to the average guy. You ask the average person to spend 240 for a speaker stand that does nothing more than hold a speaker they're gonna tell you your crazy. I bet you there is less than 15 % of people out there willing to pay 10,000 and up for a speaker. Just saying
😂Gryphon at AXPONA don't even border to plug their System for u to listen. Just like AudioQuest too. no display at AXPONA. both too yayapapaya. they think they Above the Gods nowadays🤗 Act like king of all Kings
I wonder when they will make 4 outputs again, to have better surround sound, it started with cheap junk with 2 speakers but it just gets too crazy, something that deflects on walls is not simple surround sound, and the prices are certainly ridiculous with some brands, some wood / cardboard and rubber copper wire and separation filters for a digital sound and even more money to convert this to analogue, dudes its just sound
Title of your video: "New audiophile speakers and amplifier UNDER $1000 Stole the show" What amplifier was with the $990 pair of speakers that made the system under $1000? Click bait??
Hey Michael. I am sure you already made up your mind when you asked but I am just someone who loves music and a geek who loves audio gear that enhances that experience and enjoyment. Happy listening
@@suwatt6019Comments “synergistically work well with EverSolo…” and “what I heard, what I noticed…taking good advantage of the sound profile of A8 & A6” are frankly just bullshit. Jay wasn’t making a comparison to another speaker in the same environment, he just regurgitated marketing-speak where Starke is attempting to hitch their wagon to hot selling products. That’s fine for them (Starke Audio) to do and maybe the speaker was developed with the ES products as a source…great, I don’t doubt they sound great together either. But you can’t sit next to the company guy and say something that sounds objective when it obviously isn’t. The comments don’t even work subjectively, there’s no comparison and no explanation of why he believes it to be the case. I didn’t follow up, I went back and watched Jay’s video about not wanting to be a reviewer and instead wanting to chronicle his audio journey. I don’t want to hold his feet to the fire over something he doesn’t aspire to. But IMO he needed to (and did) find a way to keep the marketing talk out of his mouth. After watching the later posted videos (all excellent) where that happens all was good for me.

Will the Beta7's be available factory direct or through a distribution network? I'm 100% interested, and wish y'all the best💪🏿
I’m also in for the new speakers and stands. I signed up for emails. Please let us know when we can preorder.
I'm interested but am I Canada
Great Video. Now I want Starke Gear too. Thx.
Please review the eversolo f2 🙏🏻
I live speakers in this price range. Much more exciting when you find a gem.
Oh man, thanks for this high quality presentation, great interview. It's nice to see a good product priced to be super affordable, nice looking bookshelf speakers and stands.
We try our best to maintain reasonable pricing! Thanks!
Did they get a pair out to you for review?
Oh my! Those p seriies are right up my alley. Good shit
These are very handsome speakers.
so how and when and where can we buy these? they are on the website but no way to purchase them.
The Eversolo Amp is available from a few different websites, but the one that sells U.S. for $799 is out of stock. I can't find any price for the A3 which is annoying. I can't find it on their site either.
Their site has kinda been in limbo since their old models cleared out, I'm also excited for the new stuff. Lots of pictures tho! 😁
Patience my friends! These are very fresh
I have a starke powered sub and it slams!
Another great interview and entertaining video, thank you! Can you tell me how the Beta 7's bass and midrange, overall sound compares to a bigger "bookshelf" like the Wharfedale Lintion? Thank you for any extra insight!
Those grill cover holes are a bit to much use magnets when you have a white face. Those holes really stick out.
I agree
6:27 You asked him about the "wave guide" on the tweeter being responsible for the smoothness and detailed sound but all he said is that it is for aesthetics and more rigid plate. Biz confusing. Speakers look nice and the price seems fair. Would love to hear some bass tracks on them.
He did mention that the waveguide has a functional purpose as well, though he was rather vague about it.
@@charleshuguley9323 Functional as "more rigid plate" but nothing about the sound characteristics.
Informative video. Thank you.
I wish i lived in la. I totally would have boughtvthat crazy red sub that was like 85% off on ur site. Delivery was too much. Someone got an amazing deal unless its still there.
Looking at these I recall the negatives of surface-mounted drivers. Do I have this wrong?
What did Mr. Dan Wiggins design here specifically? Back in the late 90’s and earlt 2000’s he was the main man in DIY circles when it came to Bass..
yes Dan is always a super important part of the R&D team. Including P series and Beta7. So if you feel Beta7 has super bass, don’t be surprised
For the money its hard to beat starke
No magnetic grills.
Yes grills
Why would you place the drivers so far apart in a small bookshelf design?
It’s related to a lower crossover frequency point.
Hhmmm 🤔 what's the overall signature of the Beta 7? Where do the stage/lead vocals/lead instruments sit? Forward? In line with the speakers? A bit pushed back? And do they have good tactile, mid/upper bass?
Slightly warm but mostly balanced from what I heard at the show. Really nice
@@Jayiyagi Just waiting for that review nowww 🙂

How can you *prefer something without ever listening to the other product? 😂😂😂
@@shaolin95 Because the Starke Sound Beta 7 have a low sensitivty at 87 db , which requires an amp that's twice as powerful to make the same volume as as my GoldenEar BRX at 90 db sensitivity.
And the Starke isn't as fast on transients because it plays to 23kHz versus my GoldenEar BRX at 35kHz.
And the Starke is 2 inches taller than the GoldenEar BRX which increases the chances of blocking my 150 in screen.
where is it made ?
which one?

That's a pretty modest price for a pair of stands, particularly that nice.

They had a room with music playing. Was very impressed. Coverage coming soon on that too

Jay, are you a reviewer or a shill?
Hi Michael, can you please constructively explain why you would ask that?
Hey Michael. I am sure you already made up your mind when you asked but I am just someone who loves music and a geek who loves audio gear that enhances that experience and enjoyment.

Thanks for sharing! Can the Starke Sound Beta 7 Loudspeakers stand toe to toe with Totem tribe towers when it comes to sound and dynamics? Thanks!
Hard to say at a show setting. Its only few tracks for general impressions at shows right…
