Are you interested in the new generation of "old school" design loudspeakers?

 

So is Danny Richie of GR Research. Though known for his open baffle loudspeaker and subwoofer designs, as well as narrow baffle sealed loudspeakers, Danny has received in for analysis and possible upgrades a number of the new "old school" design loudspeakers that have been recently introduced by the likes of KLH. Being a good businessman, he obviously realized he could offer his own version of such a design, free of the "problems" he found in those of others.

 

In this 30 minute video Danny discusses the design of his newest offering: the "Brute". Even if you’re not interested in this specific topic, you may find the video of value in general loudspeaker terms. He has made many other videos, all addressing either a specific topic, or a specific loudspeaker. There are easy to find: Go onto YouTube and do a search for GR Research.

 

To dispel any suspicions, no, I am in no way affiliated with Danny Richie and/or GR Research, other than being a very satisfied customer.

Back in the late 70's, I had a pair of JBL L-166 Horizons that I bought at an employee discount of $500. (about $1700 in 2023 dollars). They were amazing, at the time, being driven by a Sansui AU-717 and other upper end, mainstream source devices. I think my current Revel stand mounts have better definition and imaging, but a sub is needed in place of that 12" JBL Alnico driven woofer. 

What I really miss about those L-166's are those cool, but ugly waffle grills and the beautifully finished walnut veneer cabinets. They were a visual statement that smaller, modern standmounts simply can't match.
