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

I just sent Danny an email about looking a few sets of speakers I have and if he could either give me some recommendations or if interested in looking at them. We shall see. 
 

honestly didn’t know this conversation was happening until right now. I did hear some of his monitor speakers of his design at the fellow I bought my Burson DAC from. Although he was not playing music I would normally play I will say I was impressed. They are the small version of those huge tower I guess line arrays he builds or sells in kits.
