I’m sure these Andrew Jones designed speaks sound good.

But..., are they this moments Elac Adante?

Not too far back, this AD designed line was flavor of the moment, by reviewers and users. Then not too long after-price dump by retailers 50%.

Years ago, I attended AVS forum meeting at Pioneer HQ in Long Beach Cal, which AD hosted, and he promoted a Best Buy value level line that did sound great. The most impressive thing was hearing the TV soundbar while in Pioneer’s sound room. It was as convincing as a pair of audiophool speakers-admittedly embarrassing!

This was the same place that boxes of mega dollar TAD speakers are warehoused. There were staked rows of them.

A reminder also that a pro sound room make a HUGE impact on even cheap speakers.

If they follow history, I’ll grab a pair for $1500 in 3-5 years.

"but the xover, and wires and push on connectors and input connectors are just ordinary Chinese good parts"

ricevs caught what I suspected.

Just a matter of time until GR Research has a customer bring in a pair for Danny to give his impression of what's inside the box. I'm curious what his upgrade "kit" will be for this "flavor of the month" speaker.

Without even getting confirmation, experienced listeners know just about all boxes except maybe the uber priced models will have some Xover components that are compromises to make a price point.

Based on the gushing, maybe it's a rare "leave it alone" creation, and no real mods unless you're a graph perfomance type?

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, maybe in 2 years we'll see these blown out for 1/2 price like the Elac Adante series which was another A.J. creation.

For half of MSRP, the SourcePoint 10 will be "THE BEST" speaker buy.
