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.

No, not if the OP means nostalgic or appearance.  I go strictly for performance goals within my budget so follow the latest technology components.  Because this is my first high-end audio system, so I valued "neutral+linear" over "musical" audio chain so I can better evaluate component changes.  

  • Vimberg Mino D for my main system
  • Volti Rival for my foray into flea watt amps

On the horizon, "musical" speakers I'm targeting is the DeVore Orangutan O/96 and the Fleetwood Sound Deville.  Also, I'm a big fan of speaker designer guru Andrew Jones so will likely purchase his latest creation - MoFi Electronics SourcePoint 10.

I heard the Volti Audio Razz twice, both times they sounded fantastic.
