DR, would you do more videos on center channel speakers and dialogue clarity ? Some % of users are more more focused on HT vs 2-channel music and need more attention focused on the cc vs the L/R speakers.
Note that you need to use the impedance of the drivers measured in the box at the crossover frequency. Those are the numerical parameters that you start with for the base filters. If you don't do that, you have no idea the Q of the filter or the pole locations. So, you don't know if it is an L-R filter or a high Q filter with complex conjugate poles that will ring.
Ron, yes indeed, an assembly tutorial would be necessary, as I have no woodworking skills or tools. I haven't soldered in decades, I'd just need to get a gun, and a little practice using it, but not much, otherwise, I'm good to go. Would require some advice on stands. That speaker's quite a beauty!! Thanks, Danny, these are great vids and you are a very good speaker. And a big thanks to Ron, also.
Please do an episode where you take a vintage speaker that you were always find if BUT you always thought it needed a lil somethin to be amazing! That would be so entertaining and it would be awesome to hear your opinions on vintage speakers in general. Thank you, Sir.
Makes me think of the Realistic minimus 7's and their famously terrible if not practically nonexistent crossover in an otherwise decently built and cheap little speaker.
I've seen a few of these RUclips videos. I am just getting the slightest suspicion - I'm sure I am wrong - and I emphasize it is but the slightest hint of a suspicion - but guys I can't help myself, I can't help thinking that this guy might know what he is talking about.
How do you select passive crossover components without calculating? Pure trial and error? What is the relative phase response of the individual speaker drivers in the crossover region with and without the crossover?
why the picture of Enrico Fermi, a nuclear physics is this video thumbnail? nobody knows but this is in fact a good indicator of how shallow their knowledge is regarding electronics and perhaps physics!
How does a driver transduce and ultimately reproduce so many different frequencies (within its FR, of course) from many different instruments at the same time without canceling each other out or sounding muddy? That perplexes me.

Would this monitor be considered an open baffle type loudspeaker with the planar magnetic tweeter open to the top? If so, is it OK to have it close to a wall? Will it still sound really good?
Love that you time aligned the drivers and chose drivers that work together. Not enough people pay attention to time alignment.
Really would like Danny to do a build video on the DIY kit from start to finish...
That's good idea.
Wow..That cabinet detail to accommodate that tweeter was brilliant!
I’m real curious so bring on that diy video please Danny! Seeing this will inspire the diy crowd to get their creative game on!👍🏻
I feel like im getting a premium speaker building degree education from each of his videos. Thank you so much!
You are... we All Are. My hero.. along with Uncle Doug for guitar valve amp repairs and upgrades, and My Mechanics for mechanical restorations
Still has that nasty peak at 15k. Thank you for demonstrating why I never liked those KEF speakers. Good to see my impressions backed by science.

As a radio nerd your audio videos are super interesting to me. Similar to radio in some ways, but also different in others. Killer mullet btw 😂

I'm with you there, brother. The guy sure can sound convincing.
You might be right.
There are a very few of people of the same caliber in this world. An audio guru.
(O,O)
Awesome depth of knowledge.....
Like you I call the 1 KHz peak the "transistor radio."
Is that Enrico Fermi at the start or the video?
How do you select passive crossover components without calculating? Pure trial and error? What is the relative phase response of the individual speaker drivers in the crossover region with and without the crossover?
what d you think about L pads that are adjustable?
Would love to know your opinion of Adam Audio t-series monitor.

7:25 what part of this graph is the red flag we are looking for to see that the woofer is ringing

Fascinating.
Yup! You need to build these on camera.
Please build tutorial and review these!
I can't find the kit for these speakers on the GR website.

life of music and waves
Haven't watched yet.. Always feel a little bump at 350-400 makes a difference
Can Danny please bring back the Mullet?
I certainly hope NOT! It looked totally ridiculous IMHO. I do enjoy his new RUclips videos, though.
I'm afraid the days of the mullet are long gone.
