Another fan of Spatial Audio and Clayton Shaw is Danny Richie of GR Research. In a recent YouTube video Danny raved about the X4 (I believe it was), recommending it to his customers who can't or don't want to build a GR Research DIY kit. He of course recommended adding a pair of GRR/Rythmik Audio OB/Dipole subs to the Spatials ;-) .

You know, it’s not a bad business plan when you can largely eliminate the mega-costly speaker enclosure (both to build and ship) and also take advantage of a dipole design. Makes a ton of sense to me, and getting to hear Spatial speakers for the first time last weekend at the NYC show (with LTA electronics) was one of the absolute highlights for me. Most impressive! |
@soix very cool. Do you happen to recall the spatial model you heard at the show? I’ve heard there were a lot of open baffle designs at the show, they’re getting more popular it seems. |
@poketacez Not 100% sure but definitely an X model w/ ribbon tweeter and I’d guess the X5 cause it was obviously the powered woofer version and the two woofs were the same size. BTW, the bass was stupendous sounding and I thought overall the best sound in the show along with GT Audio that was at an entirely higher price level. |
@soix: By the way, the woofer towers of the GT Audio system are made using the Rythmik Audio/GR Research OB/Dipole Subwoofer kit. The kit includes a pair of 12" servo-feedback woofers and the Rythmik A370 plate amp, which includes a dipole cancellation compensation network. Best sub in the world! GT uses multiple kits per side, stacking several OB/Dipole H-frames into tall columns. |
