Fascinated By GR Research Channel

Lately I've watched a number of the videos on GR Research's youtube channel and been very intrigued. If you aren't familiar with them, they design and sell some speakers, but most of their business is DIY speaker kits, and doing upgrades on customer's speakers. In the videos, they show how they measure the performance characteristics of speakers sent in and then explain the thought process and methodology of choosing improvements. 

If nothing else, anyone wanting to better understand the technical section of reviews (e.g. John Atkinson's in Stereophile), would likely learn something watching.

Another interesting aspect of these videos is the clear untangling of various manufacturers' choices in balancing cost for performance and the sonic impact of various compromises. 

Get your popcorn and check it out. 

I'm also curious to hear of your experiences with any of their kits or products and if your findings match their messaging. I've always understood that better parts quality will improve sonics, but this channel demonstrates exactly how with great clarity...fascinating! Cheers,

Spencer

Danny is one of the most down to earth people I have ever been around. As others have stated his long list of best sound at shows is well known. He is quite a gifted designer and has created a niche that seems to cause some people heart burn.

He has gained a following due to his skills and ability to showcase them and not relying on "paid magazine reviewers" to hawk his products and services. He has paid his dues and has never been less than a true gentlemen. He doesn’t push things he cannot demonstrate as superior and knows how to stretch the engineering level of drivers to achieve better results than a great many boutique speaker makers.

He offers a product and people purchase. Word of mouth has always been the best advertising and he has been on a long journey to earn all that he has acheived. If some want to knock him, it is without merit or understanding what value he has brought to a great many. He is one of the best I have ever been around personally.
