A lot of you guys that have been on here for a long time know me. I was GM at Marcof Electronics and SpeakerCraft out of Webster Groves/St. Louis mo. Retiring, decided to do similar work that GR does. My new business concentrates on Speaker Upgrades and Repairs. I saw Danny’s original video and I saw the ASR post. 2 things, lowering the ribbon to 2.5k could have added a little distortion, without measuring, I’m not sure it was enough to cause the problems that Amir maintains, but I doubt that it would be as bad as he states. second thing. The waterfall that Danny showed was a dramatic improvement. Nor did Amir mention cabinet resonance improvements. I have no doubt that overall this speaker sounded better... Lastly, the parts improvement do improve focus, imaging and soundstage that ASR really did not check at all. I hope this helps in some way, Tim..... I am now Speaker Upgrades dot com

This is a critical review by Audio Science Review regarding a speaker crossover upgrade kit sold by GR Research for the Ascend Sierra-2EX V2 speakers. The video features a neutral A/B comparison and argues, with evidence, that the measurement methodology was flawed, that the performance was made worse, that false concerns about impedance are asserted, and overall there is no objective evidence of improvement and that the Ascend Sierra-2EX V2 is already a well-engineered speaker that does not require aftermarket modifications.
