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.
The ease to the sound of larger drivers may be in part due to a three or four way having less Doppler distortion from the much shorter mid and upper midrange wavelengths riding along and launching from the woofer producing long deep bass wavelengths. One of the reasons, I think, why I like the sound of my 12 inch full range drivers, and the sound of a planar mid/tweeter combination with bass below 250 Hz filtered out. |
@clearthinker , I used Acoustat 2+2s for decades. They were great speakers with just a few flaws. ESLs are it for me. |
Op, Wait for the "Bullet", or "Bully", with dsp and a built-in subwoofer that could go down to 20 Hz, according to GR. Will it be nice?! The woofer that comes with this speaker is a guitar amp driver. Light weight and seems a cheap stuff. Unitl, please build one (i mean Bullet / Bully) and do some in-depth review for the good of the group here. |
