Your remarks about the tweeter being forward. I've found the same thing in my testing. I drive alot so my main system is in my truck. I have 4-inch Dayton and 1-inch Peerless tweeters on a plate coming off of the pillars in the carners of the dash. 6.5 MBQuart in the doors and alpine r12 subs. I had to mount the tweeter towards the inside and angled further in of the mids to get my time alignment correct and have a complete stereo image. Once I tuned it to a flat response 1/12 octave +-4db 20-25k. I use a Astell&Kern DAC as my source. Sounds amazing.
5:20 I think the Series 3 ii Sub (Bose) I just picked up for $21 at a thrift (one that always has speakers for some reason) - it has a pass thru filter like that. I'm excited to try it as soon as my Sony SS CS5's arrive. If not I'll be buying another filter pair - they're cheap. We'll see what-what as Time, Space, and Materiality roll by!

I’m glad you said that not every speaker works for every application because I believe that is so true! I’m probably a little outdated but the Quad ESL-63 electrostatic speakers are perfect FOR ME. Sometime in the 80s a recommendation for the perfect speaker for opera lovers appeared in Opera News, and as an opera lover in need of speakers, I immediately searched for a way to audition them and immediately felt they were the perfect speakers for this opera lover.

I think it depends on the application of the speakers, not exactly the musical genre. In recording houses, they might have one or three different sets of monitors, but generally, the producer will track on one set. That is the situation no matter what type of music they're making. So in that sense, yes, one pair of speakers can be very effective for critical listening, no matter the genre of music. But on the consumer level, people tend to like speakers that lean toward their preference for music. So the issue is maybe more application-specific, not as much genre specific.
Technics back around that same time made a speaker line specifically for "opera" (even denoted the very first pair ever made to Austria State Opera), the Technics Audio Flat Panel series SB-AFP 10, 100, and 1000. I have heard they are the bar none best speakers for playing back opera as they were designed specifically for that purpose as the president of Matsushita Industries at the time was a huge fan of classical opera and wanted a speaker that could "replicate it perfectly in the home". they are very rare though, the 10s can be found here and there commonly for a few thousand a pair (very comparable in size to the Quad ESL-63), the 100s which are twice the size of the 10s like once every 4 or 5 years, and the 1000s which again are twice the size of the 100s...well....it's mostly just legend that they actually exist, none have ever come up for sale on the used market during the internet age (seriously, no records exist of a sale by anyone in the last 25+ years), so good luck finding the pure unobtanium speaker.
Quad ESL 63 loudspeakers are still the most natural sounding and excellent in reproducing sound of acoustic instruments but not meant for loud rock music. Downside - high maintenance.
That depth (or forwardness) of the highs vs lows is hugely determined by the phase response. Lower crossover point essentially pushes back the highs. If you want the best depth you need to avoid phase shift in higher frequencies. That means pushing down crossover points or linearizing phase with FIR. It's something no one is talking about. They say the effects of phase aren't audible (due to flawed testing and untrained listeners) but if you play with FIR to only affect the phase response (no effect to frequency response) you'll easily hear the changes in depth. Many people prefer the unnatural forward sound that you get from high amounts of phase shift since it's what they're used to with most speakers. It's the difference between having elements sitting in your room in front of you vs having a window open up to a different world. Unfortunately many audiophiles want to feel like the musicians are in their room (which includes interacting far too much with the room to get that sense of "here")
How can I play with this using my mini dsp? Can I? I have a pair of diy open baffle speakers that I’m interested in going fill active on. I’m using kef q100 as the mod and hi with analog xo right now crossing to 15” drivers at 300hz and those pass to subs at 80hz. Can you do FIR with mini dsp?

Long time Watcher (relatively) and first time Responder... Wow very Revealing recordings! Fantastic stuff...

Really makes you understand the effort put into the design and production of the 'LGK 2.1's' (would expect nothing less of course from you guys) 🙂 Thank you again for the Downloads you provided... really nice experience being able to listen to it after watching your video!
Danny liked ATC. I have the SCM 100's they have the famous midrange driver in them. Voices sound incredible. He needs to have a listen to them see what he thinks.
i really enjoy the serious engineering you offer. and i understand most of it...but i really love the way you promote the DIY approach to building speakers.
Love how down to earth you are. Not trying to push your flagship product but just being realistic and honest. Some of us spend years trying to get the "best" speaker, only to realize, we listen to our tiny desk top speakers the most. In this day and age with spaces getting smaller, it's a real plus to have tiny point source speakers that sound amazing without breaking your bank. The imaging on stuff like that can be great. Once I found point source speaker designs, I never looked back. What you sometimes loose in frequency extension you gain in spades with image coherency.
agree! and thanks for this comment:) there is no panacea for audio - every speaker has it's pluses and minuses - the most important thing is to find the "right one" for you simply put:) cheers!
I’ve had loads of different speakers over the years but my current ones are the best in 4 different houses. They are B&W PM1 stand mounts, love their sound and their looks. I’ve just augmented them with two PV 1 subs which has opened up the sound stage even more. 👌
Thanks for the insightful videos. Since I live in Europe, it makes more sense for me to have my speakers updated by someone close to me. Since a year, my Audio Physics have been equipped with new high-quality filters with Jantzen Superior Caps and CrossCaps and the cabling has also been completely replaced with Van Damme Blue series. Unfortunately I can't post pictures here, but I can say that this investment is a much better investment for me than new speakers.
Oh wow, usually I'm very skeptical but the recording of these basically sounded like the original + added room reverb. Wonderful sounding speakers for sure!
Finally, the correct answer at 1:50. And you are brave to say so. Not unlike owning the Infinity IRSV's. Best sounding components need the appropriate room. (I haven't viewed the entire video yet but I just love hearing truth.)
In my humble opinion, you left out an extremely important aspect of choosing a speaker: the listener's ear! I personally like paper vs poly woofers and metallic domed vs soft domed tweeters. Also the amplifier being used makes a difference in how the a particular speaker responds, even without "upgrading" the cheap caps and resistors in most low end speakers. I have a mid level AV amp that I run with all the filters and "crap" turned off and just use the equalized room adjustments and my low end non-upgraded JBL speakers sound great to me. I was raised on JBL 4311 monitors in the 70s so I think my ear is pretty discerning. Thanks for letting me rant......
I used to think that I liked paper drivers to the exclusion of all others. Until I did blind listening tests. I could not reliably pick out the paper coned driver, there was no "metal driver sound" common to all or even most metal types and the same with polypropolene, aramid or carbon etc, it was all placebo or my expectations and bias. Design (of driver and speaker) is so much more important than cone material. I'm running biggish closed box 3 ways with a planar tweeter, two 4" paper and pleated cloth mids (D'appolito in an internal 3 litre box) and a 10" aluminium / magnesium bass driver and love them.
@@englishsteve1465 That's "sounds" (pun intended) like quite a set up. I remember the old Klipsch KG series ran with poly-ish woofers in the front and paper passive radiator in the back and the horns could be upgraded from cloth dome to titanium. I would venture to say most speaker systems mass produced can be improved with better damping of the components and cabinets and upgrading the crossovers. Manufactures choose profit over performance. I am a tinkerer so I take pleasure in improving the manufacturer's shortcomings. At least, for the most part, they get the box volume right for the desired low frequency response. Cheers!
@@englishsteve1465 That being said, I've been to live concerts ranging from ELP to George Strait to live orchestra. To my knowledge, I have never heard a planar tweeter or a midrange in a 3 liter box. I have heard live music and it does not sound like a CD "mastered" in a studio. I trust these old experienced ears; they can take me back 50 years with uncanny accuracy.
A bit off topic, but a little birdie mentioned that you me you are doing an upgrade to the Maggie 3.7i. The improvement on my 20.1s when I upgraded the crossover was mind blowing. So I CAN'T WAIT to see what you do with the 3.7i !!!!!
Yes, that was an extremely huge upgrade. It wasn't just a parts upgrade. They needed a re-design badly. I will be shooting a video on it pretty soon as well.
@@dannyrichie9743 I would love to get something like the NX Studios that could work on a very large computer desk (with the monitor behind the speakers), and speakers no more than 8-10” from the back wall.
I rebuilt a pair of Polk SDA 2Bs with updated components on the crossovers that would blow most modern speakers out of the water. Driving them with vintage Adcom 565 mono blocks and a monarchy audio M10 pre with a modern DAC and a theta data basic for cd listening.
should have included Allison acoustics ! hi scored today ! just arrived , shipped a pair of the vintage Allison acoustics grail speakers top of the line ! the superlative top of the line AL130 3 way W/ twin 8' woofers mounted push pull unique CONVEX mids and tweeters ! Back in the day , these speakers were a phenom smoking most other speakers in reviews ! even Consumers Reports scientists and engineers said it was the best speaker they had EVER heard and made it a "best buy " ! LOL Allison w/ the unique proprietary CONVEX mids and tweeters offered a super wide soundstage and unparalleled realism. they also had the twin 8" push-pull mounted woofers , which were electrically OUT of phase BUT acoustically IN phase ! they offered 20% Less harmonic distortion ! Roy Allison RIP , was brilliant self-taught audio engineer and inventor I need to send you one to test but OMG they weigh 68 lbs EACH !
What speaker was made that performs the best under most circumstances in the most room environments without too many modifications? A few speakers come to mind that probably fit that criteria. Not everyone wants to go and teak a speaker's crossover and drive layout to get some sort of SPL or whatever correct. So out of the box, I think of speakers like the Sony SS-GR1, the Infinity IRS-V and later Genesis systems, or even the legendary Apogee Diva or even the Technics AFP-1000 (if they even exist anymore). Personally, one of the best speakers I have personally listened to in a room was an old pair of JBL L-300s probably built in the mid 1970s. Those things were just insane with great response, just imagine what people thought of them when they were brand new!
I still own my 1979 JBL 4311's. I remember listening to the L-300 and comparing them to the equivalent TANNOYS, which were a bit more expensive. The TANNOYS were amazing but the L-300's definitely were a bit better. They both were performing at 1/2 a watt to 1 watt each, as I had my eyes set on the bang box ( switch box ) and the wattage meter. Then I turned the volume to 10 watts and I then only dreamed of owning them one day$$$$$.
I have 2 x Fane design locally built J bins with E Tone 805's and two Emilar EH-500 loaded with some P Audio compression drivers all powered by a ZPE-1000. They sound is incredible at reasonable levels and yes you can feel it if you turn it up. In fact you can see you vision blur when cranked. And yes this is pro PA gear and yes most of it is more than 40 years old.
The speaker with the FR driver and a woofer. Make the same again, but no small driver hole in the box (just the woofer). And mount the FR driver open on top of the box! You will have to change the crossover filter for it. Once you get it to sound good, it will sound really spatial with an amazing holographic soundstage. Try angling the open driver upwards so it sounds the most holographic, and mount it like that (you need to tinker). I did it at 45° angle with poly pipe glued around the magnet and the pipe was cut at 45° angle and screwed on top of the box. Mine are the best speakers I head! You can control voice tone with the crossover, with woofer content and FR content. It's not lean in the med if you do it right.
It's possible, thought the LGK dricer will need to be pushed up a little higher, as it still needs to be put into its own airspace, making the speaker a little bigger in the process.
I would love anyones input on what they would go with I have a 3000 cu ft garage with polished cement floors, cement block walls and an unfinished vaulted ceiling what would you guys put in here with a 3k budget ?
Yep, that’s the bottom line… every application is completely different. And within that application, the type of music people listen to also affect what speakers sound best for each individual person.
Kind of apples and sugar here, I don't think it's an issue of room VS audio sources, they work in, parallel. One has to have a great room to hear ANY signal source (music genre) better. It's kind of like saying an engine vs the wheels in a car, but the engine doesn't compete with the wheels, the engine works in tandem.
I guess I could have stated it better. But I don’t disagree with your additions rather than I’ll try to restate my intention. So many of us focus on, and chase, the “perfect” sound via the speaker when in most cases it not advisable until the room is accounted for in some capacity. It’s very easy to endlessly cycle speakers (and all other components at great time and often expense) because without at least a modest understanding of room effect (and speaker placement within said room) we really aren’t able to determine what any specific speakers are capable of.
@@GoggleAX my 2 cents - room acoustics are like the condition of the road, how good that brand new car is but it still needs a good road to drive on to get the full benefit.
@@GoggleAX The problem with room treatments is that it becomes a VERY expensive endeavor. and if u are buying $500 speakers, room treatment really doesn't exist in your budget. Most of us don't even have room to listen that has a decent size to allow music to bloom, or let our speakers stand out from the wall a good distance. So room treatment is mostly a far-afterthought with 90% of audio aficionados.
@@wwlittlejOfficial DIY acoustic treatment is a huge value... there's no force multiplier like DIY room treatment. There's countless online examples... so much so that there's misinformation too. I'll be glad to point any that may be interested in the right direction. It's quite easy, and yes... the room is the one filter that shapes every listening experience... ie., an overlay atop everything.
I’m happy with my pair of Telefunken RB70 and Sansui receiver. And with my pioneer SG9500 equalizer I can adjust it to any listening pleasure. The best music to listen to a lot of instruments is Dave Matthews band from my point of view.
Those sound files made my current full range drivers sound awesome. I have Mark Audio Alpair 7.3 drivers in some homemade bookshelf cabinets as near field monitors.
My music is stored on an external solid state hard drive, to a modified Mac Mini, to a one off custom DAC, to a Dodd Audio batter powered tube pre-amp, to some custom 60 watt chip amps. All cables are ours made in house. You'll have to get Ron Brenay to tell you about the recording gear.
The best sounding speaker was Dr. Alan Hills Hill Plasmatronic loudspeaker! Sold three systems at $10,000 plus the helium tanks. The LS3/5a BBC monitors in small systems and large systems four panel Accoustats with RH Labs subwoofers. There are only two high frequency drivers that are almost perfect one is the Ionovac and Alan Hills Plasma “thermodynamic” tweeter.
In the pro audio world, we want accurate instead of "best". I want to be able to hear if a recording made by me or one of my staff, has problems. The higher end models have matched amps (Bi-amped or tri-amped) and now DACs in each via AES.
@@dannyrichie9743 Sometimes yes, sometimes no. As you can imagine it is cost dependent. However, in most consumer and prosumer grade devices, matching the electronics (while possibly low in quality) will yield a better result. For example, many prosumer grade speakers (JBL ect at Guitar Center), have EQ curves built into the amp to compensate for the cabinet. So, yes there is a threshold of cost/performance ratio that is raised at certain levels. What concerns me most is that it seems what is available as a home stereo system is garbage below a thousand dollars. As someone who wants more people to enjoy music I welcome any improvement in that price range. In my business, manufacturers of high end studio monitors (>$8,000) do not want the quality of the sound of their products degraded by low quality amps or DACs in front of them. I guess they welcome the control and can justify some pretty hefty pricetags. YMMV!
And, there's a big difference between professional monitors that let recording engineers know what's wrong with the mix, and home audio speakers that let listeners enjoy what's right with the music.
Just checked out "new favorite" on my newcom nc300 computer speakers and WOW! i cant imagine that recording on my zalytron Aria 5R's with 4-12's! and Silver Kimber interconnects! And yes, RUclips and Spotify sound dead compared to the CD
Just like sealed and ported isn't just louder or quicker, it has a sound that everyone here will like one or the other, there is right answer, or a best sound
Nice but i would like to see some graph.I m fun of linear speakers like,ATC Dutch & Dutch.. how do i know if they match my frequency graph target to buy them?
It brings in a little more room interaction that is picked up in the recording. It also blends left and right signals too much and then doesn't sound like the original when played back at all.
The pico forte 3s aka the KEF 3001se, but only if you buy them as a matched pair. The 5.1 were the left over misfits that were meant to be carried by the center which to be fair was the best center ever designed and anchored the mismatched other speakers well. The kef 300XSE as a matched pair however is unmatched on its compact size vs it's sound stage depth 3D immersion sheer volume at more than 100 watts, single point audio, zero undesirable cabinet noise while amplifying desirable harmonics using the ratio or PHI everywhere. A diagonally downward firing port that doesn't only play extended bass but extended space as well. The speaker is still ahead of its time and does things no other speaker company even knows to do.
@@dannyrichie9743 Awesome! Perfect timing cuz I'm finally about ready to finish my build. So exciting! And p.s. the LGK 2.0 /C-speaker ideas are awesome! Now you got me considering a full blown GR 5.1 monitoring setup for my studio! 🔈 🔈 🔈🔈🔈
Remarkable recordings, wow! It was very difficult to distinguish the original from the LGK 2.1 speaker recorded version. Vienna Tang is easily among my favourite vocalists, such a sweet voice. Love the cheetah shirt, it conveys Danny's sprinting prowess so well! Boss!
You have made some clips with ?LGK's plus state of the art servo subs, What About the guy with one forty year old Ace Bass made in Sweden? Will they sound anything like your clips?
A tip 😊😊 2 way speakers with a subwoofer are the most less space consumers and most versitile . Even better then dedicated 3 way speakers sound wise. 😊😊
Randy came by with his H3 and Recital models and had me measure and test them, as he had never had them measured before. I think he learned a lot form his visit. If you ever want to take those things up a few notches let me know.
I dont agree with that assertion. I would say that if anything the speakers just clean up the YT compression. Try this: if u have a DAW or some freebie digital editing software (like Audacity) put both files in track lanes, and continuously switch between the two listening for about 30 seconds of each. U will hear the speakers sounding cleaner than the compressed YT files. I'm going to buy the actual wave digital files maybe tomorrow for better accuracy, but right off the bat, the level at which the speakers sound to the actual source is literally amazing.
@@REX4340 I'm comparing the recorded speaker files to the YT (compressed) audio files as provided by the links, which is why I said u will hear the speakers (recorded) files sounding cleaner than the YT compressed files.

if getting technical magico speakers have the best ''box'' in the world and amongst the best drivers but you are right ,there are alot of variables ,you need a realy good amp to run them and tempered room ,clean electrical power line and so on ,you realy have to work to get results .....
@@shaynakash4222 I always say, that cabinets are the weakest link in commercial speakers, mainly due to manufacturing and somewhat shipping costs. Taking into account the factor, by which surface area of the cabinet surpasses that of the drivers, careful composition, profiling and damping are crucial. No going back to vented, once you hear a well made sealed either.
We had one of those sent in for upgrades. It had some problems areas, but the biggest problem was how hard it was to remove the drivers. It was practically unserviceable.
Danny: For a desktop application in a small 12x12 room where you want the audio (games,music) to beam at your face, would there be anything to gain from having a variant of the X-Bravo that substitutes the LGK's small wide-band driver, in lieu of the Bravo's tweeter?
2 reasons. First, there is a panel that runs between them to separate the airspaces. Second is that with a crossover point of 350Hz, you can easily get away with larger spacing than you can with a traditional tweeter crossing at 1500-2000Hz.

@@kenthomas1613 because the LGK isn't a sealed driver, and in a shared airspace, the output of the lower woofer will push on the LGK as though it were an undersized passive radiator, causing it to distort, esp at higher volumes. It's the same reason most every 3-way speaker puts the mid woofers into their own sealed airspace. 2.5-way speakers can get away with it since both drivers are playing the same bass frequencies.
Could you review the Totem Tribe speakers? They have proprietary drivers what work differently and the Korean reviewer that came to your company from Canada says they make other speakers sound like they are broken.

Thank you again for the Downloads you provided... really nice experience being able to listen to it after watching your video!
Danny liked ATC. I have the SCM 100's they have the famous midrange driver in them. Voices sound incredible. He needs to have a listen to them see what he thinks.
Really cool that you carried out this little project. Creative and explorative!
Living room about 35 sq meters.Waiting for your recomendations.Thanx you're trustworthy!
i really enjoy the serious engineering you offer. and i understand most of it...but i really love the way you promote the DIY approach to building speakers.
Great overview...well spoken and explained.
Are you going to experiment with passive radiators on the towers?
Keep up the awesome work.
Best sounding speaker is a PERSONAL choice
Your videos are great. I'm happy I found you.... just last night.
Love how down to earth you are. Not trying to push your flagship product but just being realistic and honest. Some of us spend years trying to get the "best" speaker, only to realize, we listen to our tiny desk top speakers the most. In this day and age with spaces getting smaller, it's a real plus to have tiny point source speakers that sound amazing without breaking your bank. The imaging on stuff like that can be great. Once I found point source speaker designs, I never looked back. What you sometimes loose in frequency extension you gain in spades with image coherency.
Thank you.
Totally agree
agree! and thanks for this comment:) there is no panacea for audio - every speaker has it's pluses and minuses - the most important thing is to find the "right one" for you simply put:) cheers!
I’ve had loads of different speakers over the years but my current ones are the best in 4 different houses. They are B&W PM1 stand mounts, love their sound and their looks. I’ve just augmented them with two PV 1 subs which has opened up the sound stage even more. 👌
That was a beautiful answer LO. L.
Thanks for the insightful videos. Since I live in Europe, it makes more sense for me to have my speakers updated by someone close to me. Since a year, my Audio Physics have been equipped with new high-quality filters with Jantzen Superior Caps and CrossCaps and the cabling has also been completely replaced with Van Damme Blue series. Unfortunately I can't post pictures here, but I can say that this investment is a much better investment for me than new speakers.
That gray Encore looks great!
Have you ever heard the dyanco a25 I purchased them many years for 180 dollars a per and still use them.
Pound per pound they were gold!!!
Hi Danny what DAC are you running 🏃♀️
It is a one off custom DAC that a group of guru's designed and built. It was a bit of a test bed for digital tweeks.
Oh wow, usually I'm very skeptical but the recording of these basically sounded like the original + added room reverb. Wonderful sounding speakers for sure!
@Danny Ritchie
Could be cool to make a 3-way speaker kit using a tweeter, 3-4” midrange, and a 10” woofer that plays Full Range, no sub needed.
Do you think the RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKii is a decent subwoofer?
Thanks
Finally, the correct answer at 1:50. And you are brave to say so. Not unlike owning the Infinity IRSV's. Best sounding components need the appropriate room. (I haven't viewed the entire video yet but I just love hearing truth.)
very happy with how you explain things lately.. great video..
Hi Danny, are those Inline Filter available to buy in your website store? Thanks!
No, but I will shot a new video just on those things.
@@dannyrichie9743 yes! please do!!
@@dannyrichie9743 thanks!
Hey Richie. Brian from south Africa. Love your show, absolutely brilliant. Quick question what amp is ideal for encores. Super thanks
The Encores are easy to drive and can be driven with just about anything with 10 watts of power or more.
Where does one find that little filter box doo diddy?
Yes this!
Some discussion on them here: www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=180797.0
In my humble opinion, you left out an extremely important aspect of choosing a speaker: the listener's ear! I personally like paper vs poly woofers and metallic domed vs soft domed tweeters. Also the amplifier being used makes a difference in how the a particular speaker responds, even without "upgrading" the cheap caps and resistors in most low end speakers. I have a mid level AV amp that I run with all the filters and "crap" turned off and just use the equalized room adjustments and my low end non-upgraded JBL speakers sound great to me. I was raised on JBL 4311 monitors in the 70s so I think my ear is pretty discerning. Thanks for letting me rant......
I used to think that I liked paper drivers to the exclusion of all others. Until I did blind listening tests. I could not reliably pick out the paper coned driver, there was no "metal driver sound" common to all or even most metal types and the same with polypropolene, aramid or carbon etc, it was all placebo or my expectations and bias. Design (of driver and speaker) is so much more important than cone material. I'm running biggish closed box 3 ways with a planar tweeter, two 4" paper and pleated cloth mids (D'appolito in an internal 3 litre box) and a 10" aluminium / magnesium bass driver and love them.
@@englishsteve1465 That's "sounds" (pun intended) like quite a set up. I remember the old Klipsch KG series ran with poly-ish woofers in the front and paper passive radiator in the back and the horns could be upgraded from cloth dome to titanium. I would venture to say most speaker systems mass produced can be improved with better damping of the components and cabinets and upgrading the crossovers. Manufactures choose profit over performance. I am a tinkerer so I take pleasure in improving the manufacturer's shortcomings. At least, for the most part, they get the box volume right for the desired low frequency response. Cheers!
@@englishsteve1465 That being said, I've been to live concerts ranging from ELP to George Strait to live orchestra. To my knowledge, I have never heard a planar tweeter or a midrange in a 3 liter box. I have heard live music and it does not sound like a CD "mastered" in a studio. I trust these old experienced ears; they can take me back 50 years with uncanny accuracy.
I love ribbon tweeters. I think we all have our preferences
Do you do side orders of cheese with your speakers?
🐭
A bit off topic, but a little birdie mentioned that you me you are doing an upgrade to the Maggie 3.7i. The improvement on my 20.1s when I upgraded the crossover was mind blowing. So I CAN'T WAIT to see what you do with the 3.7i !!!!!
Yes, that was an extremely huge upgrade. It wasn't just a parts upgrade. They needed a re-design badly. I will be shooting a video on it pretty soon as well.
Want to see it tooo
Would like to know how any of these might compare to KEF LS50 Metas
Honestly, every kit we offer beats up on those speakers.
@@dannyrichie9743 I would love to get something like the NX Studios that could work on a very large computer desk (with the monitor behind the speakers), and speakers no more than 8-10” from the back wall.
@@dannyrichie9743 many of them does!
I rebuilt a pair of Polk SDA 2Bs with updated components on the crossovers that would blow most modern speakers out of the water. Driving them with vintage Adcom 565 mono blocks and a monarchy audio M10 pre with a modern DAC and a theta data basic for cd listening.
should have included Allison acoustics !
hi scored today ! just arrived , shipped a pair of the vintage Allison acoustics grail speakers top of the line !
the superlative top of the line AL130 3 way W/ twin 8' woofers mounted push pull unique CONVEX mids and tweeters !
Back in the day , these speakers were a phenom smoking most other speakers in reviews !
even Consumers Reports scientists and engineers said it was the best speaker they had EVER heard and made it a "best buy " ! LOL
Allison w/ the unique proprietary CONVEX mids and tweeters offered a super wide soundstage and unparalleled realism.
they also had the twin 8" push-pull mounted woofers , which were electrically OUT of phase BUT acoustically IN phase !
they offered 20% Less harmonic distortion !
Roy Allison RIP , was brilliant self-taught audio engineer and inventor
I need to send you one to test but OMG they weigh 68 lbs EACH !
Cat Steven's lp Tea for the Tillerman, I read years ago was mastered on Magnepans.
Do you sell inline filter on your web shop? I do want to try cancel the frequency which below my speaker capable Range.
I'll do another video on those.
@@dannyrichie9743 Thanks Danny, I’m curious as well.
@@dannyrichie9743 thanks Danny, I saw your video very help. when I have any issue during i make them, I will email you. Cheers
I’m definitely interested in the central speaker. I’ll order it as soon as “Tyler Acoustics“ sends me the “T2’s” I ordered.
What speaker was made that performs the best under most circumstances in the most room environments without too many modifications? A few speakers come to mind that probably fit that criteria. Not everyone wants to go and teak a speaker's crossover and drive layout to get some sort of SPL or whatever correct. So out of the box, I think of speakers like the Sony SS-GR1, the Infinity IRS-V and later Genesis systems, or even the legendary Apogee Diva or even the Technics AFP-1000 (if they even exist anymore). Personally, one of the best speakers I have personally listened to in a room was an old pair of JBL L-300s probably built in the mid 1970s. Those things were just insane with great response, just imagine what people thought of them when they were brand new!
I still own my 1979 JBL 4311's. I remember listening to the L-300 and comparing them to the equivalent TANNOYS, which were a bit more expensive. The TANNOYS were amazing but the L-300's definitely were a bit better. They both were performing at 1/2 a watt to 1 watt each, as I had my eyes set on the bang box ( switch box ) and the wattage meter. Then I turned the volume to 10 watts and I then only dreamed of owning them one day$$$$$.
I have 2 x Fane design locally built J bins with E Tone 805's and two Emilar EH-500 loaded with some P Audio compression drivers all powered by a ZPE-1000.
They sound is incredible at reasonable levels and yes you can feel it if you turn it up. In fact you can see you vision blur when cranked.
And yes this is pro PA gear and yes most of it is more than 40 years old.
The speaker with the FR driver and a woofer.
Make the same again, but no small driver hole in the box (just the woofer). And mount the FR driver open on top of the box! You will have to change the crossover filter for it. Once you get it to sound good, it will sound really spatial with an amazing holographic soundstage. Try angling the open driver upwards so it sounds the most holographic, and mount it like that (you need to tinker). I did it at 45° angle with poly pipe glued around the magnet and the pipe was cut at 45° angle and screwed on top of the box. Mine are the best speakers I head! You can control voice tone with the crossover, with woofer content and FR content. It's not lean in the med if you do it right.
The most sold loudspeaker is the RFT-BR 25 build in East Germany sold 650.000 times 😮 It sounds amazing 🎉
A 3 way Encore using the 3” from the 2.1 make sense? Curious about the possibility
It's possible, thought the LGK dricer will need to be pushed up a little higher, as it still needs to be put into its own airspace, making the speaker a little bigger in the process.
I would love anyones input on what they would go with I have a 3000 cu ft garage with polished cement floors, cement block walls and an unfinished vaulted ceiling what would you guys put in here with a 3k budget ?
Yep, that’s the bottom line… every application is completely different. And within that application, the type of music people listen to also affect what speakers sound best for each individual person.
The room, more important than the music genre and much of the other gear/components.
Kind of apples and sugar here, I don't think it's an issue of room VS audio sources, they work in, parallel. One has to have a great room to hear ANY signal source (music genre) better. It's kind of like saying an engine vs the wheels in a car, but the engine doesn't compete with the wheels, the engine works in tandem.
I guess I could have stated it better. But I don’t disagree with your additions rather than I’ll try to restate my intention.
So many of us focus on, and chase, the “perfect” sound via the speaker when in most cases it not advisable until the room is accounted for in some capacity.
It’s very easy to endlessly cycle speakers (and all other components at great time and often expense) because without at least a modest understanding of room effect (and speaker placement within said room) we really aren’t able to determine what any specific speakers are capable of.
@@GoggleAX my 2 cents - room acoustics are like the condition of the road, how good that brand new car is but it still needs a good road to drive on to get the full benefit.
@@GoggleAX The problem with room treatments is that it becomes a VERY expensive endeavor. and if u are buying $500 speakers, room treatment really doesn't exist in your budget. Most of us don't even have room to listen that has a decent size to allow music to bloom, or let our speakers stand out from the wall a good distance. So room treatment is mostly a far-afterthought with 90% of audio aficionados.
@@wwlittlejOfficial
DIY acoustic treatment is a huge value... there's no force multiplier like DIY room treatment.
There's countless online examples... so much so that there's misinformation too.
I'll be glad to point any that may be interested in the right direction.
It's quite easy, and yes... the room is the one filter that shapes every listening experience... ie., an overlay atop everything.
*WOW!!!* that was from the LGKs? _incredible_
Yes sir, and thanks for listening.
What was the sub you used for the smallest speaker did you use. Model number 🤔
Awesome job (Again). I really need to check these out. Thanks
Can you do the Edifier s2000mkiii??? They are the most liked on Amazon preamp studio speakers
I’m happy with my pair of Telefunken RB70 and Sansui receiver. And with my pioneer SG9500 equalizer I can adjust it to any listening pleasure. The best music to listen to a lot of instruments is Dave Matthews band from my point of view.
Those sound files made my current full range drivers sound awesome. I have Mark Audio Alpair 7.3 drivers in some homemade bookshelf cabinets as near field monitors.
We've measured and tested some of the Mark Audio drivers. If you like those then you'll love our LGK drivers. They are next level performance.
Royd,Epos,mission,especially monitors,just love them
Thank You for sharing your expertise. I would really like to know what crossover point you used for the added woofers and what size they were.
They crossed around 80Hz.
List all gear used for the recording please? Detailed about everything about recording, including caveats but unclear on exact preamp, amp, etc. used?
My music is stored on an external solid state hard drive, to a modified Mac Mini, to a one off custom DAC, to a Dodd Audio batter powered tube pre-amp, to some custom 60 watt chip amps. All cables are ours made in house.
You'll have to get Ron Brenay to tell you about the recording gear.
The best sounding speaker was Dr. Alan Hills Hill Plasmatronic loudspeaker! Sold three systems at $10,000 plus the helium tanks. The LS3/5a BBC monitors in small systems and large systems four panel Accoustats with RH Labs subwoofers. There are only two high frequency drivers that are almost perfect one is the Ionovac and Alan Hills Plasma “thermodynamic” tweeter.
In the pro audio world, we want accurate instead of "best". I want to be able to hear if a recording made by me or one of my staff, has problems. The higher end models have matched amps (Bi-amped or tri-amped) and now DACs in each via AES.
Actually those speakers with built in amps and DAC's are really bottlenecked by the low quality level of the electronics.
@@dannyrichie9743 Sometimes yes, sometimes no. As you can imagine it is cost dependent. However, in most consumer and prosumer grade devices, matching the electronics (while possibly low in quality) will yield a better result. For example, many prosumer grade speakers (JBL ect at Guitar Center), have EQ curves built into the amp to compensate for the cabinet. So, yes there is a threshold of cost/performance ratio that is raised at certain levels. What concerns me most is that it seems what is available as a home stereo system is garbage below a thousand dollars. As someone who wants more people to enjoy music I welcome any improvement in that price range. In my business, manufacturers of high end studio monitors (>$8,000) do not want the quality of the sound of their products degraded by low quality amps or DACs in front of them. I guess they welcome the control and can justify some pretty hefty pricetags. YMMV!
Best speaker I have ever heard, ADS L-2030. These speakers were used for recording in Telarc studios in the 80's.
And, there's a big difference between professional monitors that let recording engineers know what's wrong with the mix, and home audio speakers that let listeners enjoy what's right with the music.
Great explanation!
My room is 12' x 12', and I need 110db average at the listening position 6' away, and I have a 30 watt class A amp. Go!!! 😂
Just checked out "new favorite" on my newcom nc300 computer speakers and WOW! i cant imagine that recording on my zalytron Aria 5R's with 4-12's! and Silver Kimber interconnects! And yes, RUclips and Spotify sound dead compared to the CD
Just like sealed and ported isn't just louder or quicker, it has a sound that everyone here will like one or the other, there is right answer, or a best sound
Nice but i would like to see some graph.I m fun of linear speakers like,ATC Dutch & Dutch.. how do i know if they match my frequency graph target to buy them?
You could visit our website and see all of the measurements on them.
Just curious. Why not position the microphone in the listening position? Why 1/2 way between?
It brings in a little more room interaction that is picked up in the recording. It also blends left and right signals too much and then doesn't sound like the original when played back at all.
A wonderful bookshelf speaker demonstration.🔉🎶
The pico forte 3s aka the KEF 3001se, but only if you buy them as a matched pair. The 5.1 were the left over misfits that were meant to be carried by the center which to be fair was the best center ever designed and anchored the mismatched other speakers well.
The kef 300XSE as a matched pair however is unmatched on its compact size vs it's sound stage depth 3D immersion sheer volume at more than 100 watts, single point audio, zero undesirable cabinet noise while amplifying desirable harmonics using the ratio or PHI everywhere. A diagonally downward firing port that doesn't only play extended bass but extended space as well.
The speaker is still ahead of its time and does things no other speaker company even knows to do.
Thanks for the video! The LGK 2.1 exaggerate the highs a little bit more than the original recording. Otherwize, it sounds really nice!
Good to see new products from you danny. Can't wait to see a review/video on the NX-Studios!

Remarkable recordings, wow! It was very difficult to distinguish the original from the LGK 2.1 speaker recorded version. Vienna Tang is easily among my favourite vocalists, such a sweet voice.
Love the cheetah shirt, it conveys Danny's sprinting prowess so well! Boss!
why you chose for putting the bass in the 2.0 so low (i can imagine why the 3 inch is up that high.... dispersion)
How thick is the veneer on 2.1's?
Like the T-Shirt, did you get it through the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) ??
You have made some clips with ?LGK's plus state of the art servo subs, What About the guy with one forty year old Ace Bass made in Sweden? Will they sound anything like your clips?
Our speakers will sound different in every system and room. The clips are to show you what they are capable of.
Rogers Ls3-5a 15ohm speakers with right tube amplifier.
I kinda agree. xD
A tip 😊😊
2 way speakers with a subwoofer are the most less space consumers and most versitile .
Even better then dedicated 3 way speakers sound wise.
😊😊
Sonist Concerto 4 speakers... I got the last pair built by Randy Bankert before he unfortunately died...
Randy came by with his H3 and Recital models and had me measure and test them, as he had never had them measured before. I think he learned a lot form his visit. If you ever want to take those things up a few notches let me know.
Listening to the files, your system adds some colour to the sound that makes it sound better on some tracks.
Thanks for listening.
I dont agree with that assertion. I would say that if anything the speakers just clean up the YT compression. Try this: if u have a DAW or some freebie digital editing software (like Audacity) put both files in track lanes, and continuously switch between the two listening for about 30 seconds of each. U will hear the speakers sounding cleaner than the compressed YT files. I'm going to buy the actual wave digital files maybe tomorrow for better accuracy, but right off the bat, the level at which the speakers sound to the actual source is literally amazing.

@@paulb4661 well said .....
@@shaynakash4222 I always say, that cabinets are the weakest link in commercial speakers, mainly due to manufacturing and somewhat shipping costs. Taking into account the factor, by which surface area of the cabinet surpasses that of the drivers, careful composition, profiling and damping are crucial.

where do i find those mini desktop speakers, the LGK 2.0 ? .... on your website? sure not seeing them
gr-research.com/lgk-series/
Danny: For a desktop application in a small 12x12 room where you want the audio (games,music) to beam at your face, would there be anything to gain from having a variant of the X-Bravo that substitutes the LGK's small wide-band driver, in lieu of the Bravo's tweeter?
Interesting thought. We might have to give it a try at some point.
This is a great and very sincere video
Kudos to you Danny
Why are the drivers so far apart on the LGK version 2.1? Very interested in why you have the drivers so far away from each other.
Thought the same
2 reasons. First, there is a panel that runs between them to separate the airspaces. Second is that with a crossover point of 350Hz, you can easily get away with larger spacing than you can with a traditional tweeter crossing at 1500-2000Hz.

@@hoth2112 OK. Why would you need to separate the drivers in a sealed enclosure?
@@kenthomas1613 because the LGK isn't a sealed driver, and in a shared airspace, the output of the lower woofer will push on the LGK as though it were an undersized passive radiator, causing it to distort, esp at higher volumes. It's the same reason most every 3-way speaker puts the mid woofers into their own sealed airspace. 2.5-way speakers can get away with it since both drivers are playing the same bass frequencies.
The ELAC Vela 409s are great with a high current amp.
