In Reply to: I built a pair of GR Research AV/2 + sub posted by texanater on April 26, 2007 at 15:47:21:
My most recent are built expressly for my apartment setting.The lower driver is a Scan Speak Revelator 7" thrown paper on graphite cone, the upper is the 5 1/4 inch Revelator cut carbon cone, then I have MB quartz 3" titanium dome mid tweets and the Foster Ribbons.
To say things sound effortless, uncompressed and very natural is an understatement. These things just blow me away with their detail, their emotion and their ability to sound like natural live music.
I have just under a grand in each speaker with parts, cabinet, and crossovers. They have the transient detail and air of an electrostatic, the midrange of a Sonus Faber and I am getting ultra low sub sonics with a couple of 12 inch Peerless XLS drivers in separate cabinets behind the main speakers.
Building speakers can be as much fun as building plinths and restoring old Rek O Kuts from the dead.
Let me know how your speakers break in. These seem very economical adn I am certain they sound at least as good as a 2,000 per pair set of speakers....probably even more.
Cheers!
