The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.

As a bit of a "speaker nerd" (earned a speaker patent), I found this video to be fun and informative.  Danny comes across as knowledgable and credible.  Having "radio face" myself (a face for radio) and being neither entertaining nor spontaneous, I respect those who can pull this off.  Well done, sir.

19" Sony Trinitron: "I don’t know why everyone loves these. "

The most watched TV in my home is still the 9" Sony CRT hanging under the cabinets in the kitchen. 30+ years old, and counting. No service required. Ever. Yes, I had to "dumb down" the HD signal to display it. It’s been a trusted friend that’s lasted longer than (almost) anything in my entertainment world (I think the ADS 200Cs in the office might be older?)

I recently upgraded one TV to a Sony OLED, so I’m not stuck in the past. But, the little 9" Trinitron just comes on when you hit the power button.

As any speaker designer knows, a really flat speaker sounds terrible.

A flat FR does not by itself define the sound quality of a speaker.  Personal experience with multi $K speakers universally reviewed as great sounding with flat FR.  They were very accurate but made music sound lifeless.  Crossover had almost 2 dozen cheap parts.  Rebuilding the crossover with quality parts maintained a flat FR, but brought music alive with clarity, detail, and dynamics.

To clarify- you sent the schematic in- Did you not send the speakers in?

That is correct, I did NOT send the speakers in. I emailed the original schematic to them, along with measurements where the finished crossovers could be installed. We agreed on my component choices.

GR-Research built the crossover on HDF, and I mounted and wired it to the rest of the speaker. It's not terribly difficult as the Kappa 7s are 3 way speakers.
