Love the new format, Mike!!! Opa!!! 👍🔥😎

The Greek style 😅 .. Also as an Audiophile, would say a bit too much for me. Yes, room is important, but I wouldn't go that crazy, personal opinion 😊 ! Of course here in Germany we have way different houses/apartments and our living room is for *living* and enjoying music and not getting out of the way of hifi gear. YES, as an reviewer what your are primary targeting, it is fine. Love your details you are presenting and thanks for your efforts!!!

Just as a matter of curiosity, and not picking on these speakers, but it would be interesting to know what the manufacturer's/dealer's profit margins are on luxury audio items like this.

Have you heard the Lyngdorf TDAI RoomPerfect amps? Those have a LOT of positive buzz (plate smash)

You are right on track. It’s especially appalling when you realize the vast majority of these reviewers ypu refer to as a "mafia" have little idea how the products work and really don't know much about music, either. What they do is sales is the guise of art.

Happy for you man - tho I gotta say this would drive me nuts haha. I’ve set up my speakers by eye/feel. Wife and I love the sound and have left it there.

Oh to have as nicely a sized, regular shaped room as yours to play with. Hahaha. I have, for my sins, ended up with an L shaped room for my system. Not optimal I can assure you. Not so much then OCD as DSP to solve my particular room induced sonic issues. Love those Tobian Speakers by the way. Big boy drivers are so much more efficient at pushing large amounts of air about. Thanks for the piece.

Many years ago, England was the jewel of speakers, preamps and amps, with QUAD, Celestion, KEF, Monitor Audio, Leak-Wharfedale, and so many great brands. Unfortunately, an economic shift made them taken by a Hong-Kong group, and the Wharfies went to China to benefit cheap labor, as many do today. Does the average customer benefit any advantages from this ? I dunno. Today choosing a good DAC is a difficult task, because so many brands compete. Would you pay over 325K dollars for a pair of speakers ? No me fo' sure.

Καλημέρα

I like of attitude 👍🏻 If DCS do this to reviews and everyone that have a different opinion imagine what they can do to the clients?!

👍🌺

I think you need to make a different video. 🐴 -TheAudioCabal

The future of ____________________ is here.

Who does the world know as international hyenas. That’s who works behind the scenes to eat away at society’s core. It’s not about the money.. it’s about the destruction of traditional European culture. There once was a man from Germany that tried to stop this. But the hyenas conspired and defeated him. Now we are witnessing the consequences of that defeat worldwide. Our livelihoods are being outsourced to communism. And the people that brought the world communism are starving freedom and feeding communism.

GreekGeek, the overtreating you mentioned is something i was SURE that a Wilson loudspeaker I knew in Monrovia California had done in his main room. several of my audio society friends would state that they didn't like Wilsons and I knew for sure that they based that opinion on that setup. he was using a full compliment of abfusers. THEN he opened up a new bigger room and moved his big Wilsons in there and without all the diffusionary product. BAM, suddenly there was imaging and depth not present in the first room. i will concede that the first room was smaller but if all that sound treatment had been minimised, there would have never been the problem. KUDOS!

The Tobians have pro audio level power handling and a big horn-loaded compression driver, so it's no surprise that they can fill a room. I've recently gotten into pro audio, and I was floored to discover that the live rock'n'roll sound I've been seeking and not finding in my living room for 40 years can be had in a pair of $1200 Coda Audio HOPS8 point sources (paired with a sub, as they only go down to 60Hz.) The Codas are unique in that their speakers all feature compression drivers of their own design that utilize a pair of flat ring diaphragms instead of a 4" titanium dome. They're not as resolving or refined as the air motion transformers in my main system, but the way they fill a room with rock music is the crack cocaine of audio for me right now.

What is up with companies called "DCS" suing youtube reviewers? Deep Cycle Systems in Australia is suing a youtuber for demonstrating that their lithium automotive starter batteries are junk, and it looks like the backlash could tank the company.

Hey, buddy, your wife is a saint! Have you ever realized that? 😀

Ummm... have you checked with your wife about this? Wouldn't it be best to let her choose (I speak from experience! 🙃)

I would go with the Coffee Noir paint in the front and keep the rest stock black. black trim rings, back and top. Perfect

Tannoy isn't the only company to be made in china, What about bower and Wilkins? ... Kef, Wharfdale, ect ... Along with some American companies to JBL ect....

I listened to some of their top speakers at Munich and they sounded pretty decent in a shitty room. Which means they sound great under good conditions.

Nice looking speakers!

Totally agreed!👍👉👏

your missing out in your only interested in stuff that has been around for a while. The Boutique stuff or even some of the well known kits out there can out do many many higher end stuff for a fraction of the price.

Agree with your conclusions here based upon my own experience. However one thing I am curious about - have you found the equipment rack still influences sound quality even when all components are placed on quality isolation platforms?

I like your takes!

Fascinating video. Headquarter Audio has eached similar conclusions to you. Hot tip on the bang for buck stakes is the LHY Audio SW-8.switch. LHY also make excellent bang for buck master clocks.

I am a LS 3/5a monitor afficianado. But I do own a pair of Tannoy System 1200 monitors, on which I upgraded the crossovers with better parts. They have only a few hours on them, practically NOS. They sound amazing with appropriate ampflification. Hopefully I will have some bigger space for them in the future. 🤩 Sad what happened to Tannoy.

If you are going to play you gotta pay. All of reviews are subjective, and judgement is judgement , whether it arrives as praise or as criticism. IMO there is no reason for negative campaigning, even if you have the right to do it. Honesty can be a double edged sword, as well.

Hello, fellow Greek here and newbie, Taking delivery of a Cary Audio SLI-80 integrated tube amp, excited! Cary offers an upgrade service, specifically considering upgrading to the Mundorf supreme evo silvergold capacitors, and Hexfred rectifiers. I don't know whats in it now, but from your experience/ knowledge, does that sound like a worthy upgrade or is it a little snake oil...ish. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Opa!

How much are these?

I use hockey pucks under my speakers and the difference is astonishing!

They want to make it with cheaper labor and sell it for the same high price!!

How about reviewers being paid for good reviews. I won't mention names but I can think of 3 popular reviewers who are very suspect one of who always makes a big deal about not being paid but looks away from the camera when he says it ;) - it seems everything he tests is better than everything hr tested before. How can that be?

Reviewers must have a union so thank they can act all together and ban these scammers from getting reviewed ever again!

First people didn't wanted to be called influencers (yet everyone making statements in public is an influencer). Why is it that you don't want to be seen as a reviewer? And please don't get me wrong, this is a sincere question. Since you have videos literally saying "review". I myself don't care about those terms if the person seems legit and honest. Which you seem to be.

What is DCS? Never heard of them? They build what? No clue they even exist!

Agreed 👍 Great video!

In my pursuit of a better system, I did lots things, some considered snake oil by some people, and came to a point where I thought it couldn't sound better unless I buy more expensive equipment. I just purchased the book you recommend and will give it a try. Nice project for me during the summer holidays. Thanks again.

To be honest I smoked some cannabis, but you’re analogy about LED lights was spot on! ‘Non pun intended’😜

Tannoy is to UK what Klipsch is to USA. Once Tannoy got bought out by the Manila based Music Tribe we all knew it was inevitable for them to integrate parts from their Asian suppliers. It's still excellent quality but the purity of heritage is skewed as the high end Tannoys are now Euro cabinets with Chinese drivers. I'll admit they sound excellent but at this premium price point and legacy, it really does muddy the value proposition if they are not discounting the speakers with 'cheaper' parts. At least Wharfedale admits to having Chinese manufacturing but they price fairly such as Chinese Lintons being much cheaper than American KLH Model 5s. Like you said, just be honest.

I love mine and found just loosening (from the bottom) by half a turn made the biggest difference.

Nice, not many videos on these. Will you get to try more from the range? They have a horn coaxial pair which look interesting

My comments are always being censored and not just mine. A few ago a distributor on audiocircle, wrote an article about his weekend visit to a friends home, an audio dealer, that made him listen to these little LS3/5A like speakers that were way better than authentic LS3/5A's and they were only 1400$. I mean these speakers killed the LS3/5A that the distributor brought along with him to compare. Since I'm interested in buying a pair of LS3/5A's myself I wrote back thanking him for the heads-up and mentioning how it was to bad I could not find them for sale in canada. Someone else then answers to tell me that the so mentioned speakers are chinese clones that you can find everywhere on sites like AliExpress. Good thing I got a warning that someone had answered me and went to read it immediately, because only a few hour later when I got home, I went to re read the post and it was already erased.

Monster Cable vs Blue Jeans Cable told me all I needed to know about how thin-skinned some of these companies are. Still, the US is a litigious society and few individuals can afford lawyers, so the threats do carry some weight.
