Disclaimer: I do not receive commissions for anything sold through GR-Research nor am I paid by Danny for anything I say or express in these videos. I simply believe in his products and highly recommend them.
It's totally your gig, so do with it as you wish. As friendly feedback, however, I find the constant background music incredibly irritating. It's not needed. The content stands up without it.
Thanks for the feedback!
Have to agree 100%. Kill the background music, Ron. Leave it for the dedicated sound clips.
I agree. For example I hate country music and I get the impression that thats what you listen to then we might be listening for completely different things compared to my tastes in music and this colors your opinion as to what makes a good speaker.
I would like to see a complete 3 way speaker that integrates a servo sub.
Danny is the only guy selling what's inside the speakers - and from what i've learned and experienced, the parts are just as important as the drivers themselves. Amazing how many manufacturers sell high $$$ speakers with the lowest grade parts inside.
Enough talk...Ron, how about some sound clips of each for comparison?
I would love to hear sound clips of all of the NX-series speakers!
Thanks.
We did some clips. They are coming.
Will you post sound clips of the NX-series ?
+1 on the NXtreme sound clips. I am seriously considering a pair along with a sub stack
Do you think the NX-Studios would be fit for a stereo setup in an apartment, without a sub? I am not interested in high volume at all, but I am curious if they have some bass and can be used are they are or just lack it completely and you require a subwoofer.
Thank you, appreciate it!
0:20 stop teasing the Line Force until we can actually buy them! :)
This is awesome… thanks got the videos. I am completely new to this… after allot of studying, I have decided on the NX studios. I can’t wait to hear them. I simple components. So it will be fun to slowly upgrade them and see how much “more” it can get.
I'm super hyped for the NX-Studios now! I cant wait for the build guide & review you mentioned! 👀 They're definitely going to be my next personal monitors!
They are very good speakers!
@@Newrecordday2013 Glad to hear it!
Another great video. I am so tempted to invest in some of those servo woofers. If only I didn't have so much money tied up in my 18" TC Sounds drivers.
I think that what Ron thinks he is missing, is in the cables that Danny uses. Ron looks like he just realized that Danny is related to God. ROFL.
can u pls introduce the front end electronics in Danny's rig?
Can you guys do a demo audio clips comparison for NX-Otica MTM, NX-Otica Tower, Super Mini, and NX-Studio? Similar to the B2031P "The truth! Audio clip comparison you. This will give a better idea how each sound. For those sound quality can't capture with a demo such as soundstage, sweet spot, etc can describe by words. Thanks
Love the series! One quick note... Can you throw a sheet of no res between the microphone stand an the table? Every time someone touches the table I'm getting a 40 hz shot to the ear. ;-)
🤣
I am retiring from my job in a year and a half, i think the NX Otica will be a great project to ocupy my free time. Not sure i can wait that long but will try.
watiing for Part 3... :)
I guess I have to make a pilgrimage.
Man those set-ups look great. I love DIY and have made a number of mid-fi speakers from kits (love my Dayton Tango speakers), (+plus tons of deep DIY audiophile car audio from scratch). I love trying new speakers though so for now DIY home audio is typically out due to the more commitment oriented purchase. Very cool though.
And now I want NX-Tremes.
You would not regret that for one second.
@@Newrecordday2013could u pls share about the pair of their servo woofers and electronics in the system chain (preamp, amp, dac etc...). Thks
They think their little DIY speaker can reveal more then a powered Studio monitor . No it wont , not even close
monitor for close up, small areas. speakers for filling a room with sound. two different applications
@@mnminnmnthings are real simple my friend , the closer you are to the speaker the lesser the impact of the room , or room coloring , that is the reason for near field monitoring , but , and this is a big BUT
Studio monitors are not Good because you are close to them , no, they are Good Period .
Why are they good , here is the secret , every driver has its own AMP Active , and beyond that they use 4th order Linkwits Crossovers , you do the same , or equal in Passive mode youll get same quality , but you need 1000X the size of the components , thats Huge Transformers , and Caps .
Becasue Active Crossovers work with small signals can hence get away with small components , Passive can not
To get the same effect you would need huge components , but its doable its just not financially sound .
And that is the secret , 24db slope crossovers
In Active Crossover Signal is well divided ,there is little crosstalk smearing you image between drivers , and it all works well and balanced .
Couple that with cheap drivers that are not bad but cheap due to mass production
And you have a Win Win
That is the Secret
You simply can not beat that in your usual Passive home setup , no way
But i use Passive , im not saying use Active its jsut that i have Active as well , and its just not comparable
You guys are not good for my wallet LOL
Tell me about it!
So cool
Hi, can you give a quick comparison between Elac Adante and the NX-Studio? thank you,
Can you guys also do a comparison between Super Mini, NX-Otica, and NX-Studio monitors? Thanks
X-static anyone??? How do they compare? Or hold out for some maggies?
Love the channel.
But dude...What's with the cardigan???
Hi GR research, is there any custom build option based on other speakers .
Recently I attended Florida Audio Expo , i am totally impressed by Ocean Way Audio Eureka Speaker’s. Will you able to build like that ? With reasonable price ?
Honestly, I think I get get you past that with some of our lowest priced kits. Have a look at the X-LS Encore: gr-research.com/x-lsencorekit.aspx
are their regular builders out there to build a pair for me?
Love your stuff, ima beer budget guy looking at hi class champagne lol , can a guy use a ka8100 and be happy with thez? Or is it special stuff to run thez?!
I’m new to this type of gear so sorry if uninformed lol I’m not up on gear knowledge
Could you post the price of the NX-Studio speakers?
Thanks
$899 for the complete kit and that includes the CNC cut front baffle.
Batteries make a huge differences
Love this. More d.i.y👍🙂🇵🇭🙏
Loving this series! Glad you guys got to meet up.
I'm sorry, could you pelase clarify the pricing for NX-treme - is it $2,995.00 per pair or each?
For the pair. I told Danny he should raise the prices. It's a crazy deal.
@@Newrecordday2013 2995 per pair, but shipping and handling and caps upgrades adds up.. it does sound reasonable though.. should keep in mind, it is still DIY you are not be able to sell, even for the money.
@@Newrecordday2013 & @ostvaldseo. Not true you have to add the woofer/subs, there is no clear mention of the crossover point, except the chart that shows 200hz as a starting point, so you need to double this price at least, it's more 7K minimum, you won't see again if you think about reselling, gr-research.com/measurements/NX-Treme%20crossover.jpg NEVER BELIEVE INTERNET .
first
9:44 May I please ask what those driver is called, I have looked for the original BG NEO 10, but thay are not made anymore, and PS Audio do make some, but are not for sale. AliExpress sells some, but are they even usable?
Looks like Parts Express will have a BG Neo 10 in stock next month. www.parts-express.com/bohlender-graebener-neo10-planar-transducer--264-7501
PS Audio buys their Neo 10's from Parts Express.
We are working on have our own Neo 10's made. They aren't quite there yet.
I have some of the ones advertised on AliExpress also. They had no damping of the diaphragm and had resonances all over the place. They were totally unusable.
@@dannyrichie9743 About PS Audio: Sorry, but does that not sound baaad, I mean both in audio quality and quality of finished speaker?
Neo 10 in your version, that sounds interesting, do you also have plans on making the Neo 3?
Is there a way to know when the Neo 10 is ready for sale? :-)
@@friedmule5403 We already have our own Neo 3. And it does sound better than the BG models. I don't know a time frame on the Neo 10's. I await the next pair of samples and hope they turn out better than the last.
@@dannyrichie9743 I do really thank you for spending so much time to reply to my comments, it do mean a lot!
I hope to build an open baffle panel on top of a sub woofer cabinet at the bottom, a bit like Martin Logan's - Aérius I medias.audiofanzine.com/images/normal/martin-logan-aerius-i-1433977.jpg but using the NEO's and some deep bass driver that go as low as posible in a small cabinet:-)
This is what speaker building and tweaking is loads of info thank you guys
Welcome!
how tall are those NX-Treme?
7 feet tall.
Cant wait for the nx studios! Was looking for a new pair for a while now and i am hyped. Can you tell us anything about the price?
$899 for the complete kit and that includes the CNC cut front baffle.
@@dannyrichie9743 Hi Danny, for the 3 speakers mentioned and your servo woofers, do you ship them complete? I rather not mess w/ the assembly, paint and veneer
@@cybergod77 Currently, I do not. But there are guys like Mike Lundy that have a side business of completing them for other customers.
@@dannyrichie9743 can it be coordinated thru u including payment?
@@cybergod77 You order the kit from us and we ship it to Mike Lundy for assembly and completion. You deal directly with Mike on all of those finish options and assembly cost.
Great series, very interesting. Thank you
It’s gonna be a blind a/b comparison right?????
Lol
Crazy prayingmantis If you raised the ante a bit, they may take your bet. As of now; your wager is probably way too small. ;)
This would have been fun, but really not necessary. There are very obvious differences between the Nx Studios and the other two sets, which would have made that comparison too easy. The otticas and xtremes are certainly closer in DNA and sound, but also had their own signature sound. Let’s see what the sound clips are like - maybe you’ll be able to hear what we did?
@crazy prayingmantis I bet dinosaurs might come back from extinction and eat us all. It’s a fair bet and about the same likelihood of not being able to hear the differences in these speakers.
Crazy prayingmantis What’s the point of doing a blind comparison in this case? All we wanted to do is showcase the series of speakers that Danny offers here, and give our own personal opinions of how we think they sound, so the audience can have some degree of understanding on differences. This whole push to blindfold people in order to make something “legitimate” is ridiculous.
"source first".
Yes, I know updating the website is a 'B'. But, please in your next vid - if, you have not already - please announce ball-park prices on some of these speakers not shown on Danny's current website. Thanks
HEY RON! going out to Axpona again this year? I'd appreciate a chance to shake your hand and get a suggestion of what rooms that are worth checking out! Love conversations like this 💪💪💪
That’s the plan!
Have Danny over to see both your and your brother's rigs/homes and see what he notices right off. That would be as educational is it would be entertaining.
Did this man just K.O. Andrew Jones? 🤔 What's the price ranges of these offerings so we can have an idea.
Where I can get info about NX monitor? I can't find it from gr research website.
Moonkyung Ryu Give Danny a call tomorrow between 9am-5pm central time @ +1 (940) 592-3400. He’ll steer you in the right direction.
