Oh wow I've been waiting for this cant wait to see how they compare to the arendals because those 2 sets of speakers are in my short list these 1723 and the power sound audio speakers
Another content idea could be to do a roundup with other speaker products from other brands in the same price segment. Always great seeing more your content!
They remind me of a less expensive version of my speaker which is a Legacy Focus se minus less amt tweeter and smaller woofers and smaller mid ranges. The cabinet angle for less baffle diffraction etc is the same would not be surprised if they loosely based their design on the Focus SE.
I own a pair of T2+. They are great sounding speakers but for an AMT or Heil driver I expected a bit more forwardness in the upper frequency range. I think these T3+ would have been better served with a larger AMT driver, they used the same size as the T2+ and an additional mid range driver was not necessary. Bass and mid-range response on the T2+ is excellent. I mostly listen to jazz and use mine for music only. Don't care for the Darth Vader look of these speakers. I may be getting rid of mine for a pair of Magnepan LRS+ for around the same price.
Martin Logan have the superior high end with a bigger ribbon and is built with much better components than the T3+. The Motion 60TXi is definitely higher quality and better sounding. Even a better value now that you can grab a pair on sale. Definitely another choice worth considering Mr. B. 👍
@@kingtrance307 You're correct, the Motion 60TXi was my first consideration but could not afford them at the time so I went with the Emotiva's which I thought would be similar. Not a bad sounding speaker, I would have returned them but it would have cost too much to ship back.
Don't worry I give my honest thoughts. Although I purchased the Arendals I can still say when other speakers are better (or worse for that matter). 😁 Also, I'm including audio samples so you can hear for yourself how they compare. The video should be out in a day or two, I'm editing now. Happy New Year!
I’m going to be buying these on Jan 2 (Tomorrow) along with the C3+ They will be replacing my 7 year old Polk TSx550T’s Will it be a night and day difference you think?
I haven't heard those Polk's but I think the smooth mid-range performance and bass depth will be noticeable. Make sure you have an amplifier can output at least 100Watts into 4ohms as that is the Emotiva recommended power output. Enjoy! 😁
Oh hey big guy :) Well I’m fortunate enough to have bought a XPA-3 and XPA-5 Gen 2, several years ago. I believe they output 330watts RMS @ 4 ohms. So they should have plenty of power. I just inspected my polks the other day and 5 of the 7 tweeters of my system have blown. Hoping I have better luck with the ribbon tweeters
@@jasonpritchett7145 I'm using an XPA-5 to run T3+ pair, C3+, and T2+ as rears, in a 5.2.4 setup. Plenty of power, never feels strained, not even slightly.
On your sound review, compare them to you old Klipsch. I know what those sound like. Comment on the punch and compare. Also comment on the Ribbon Tweeter, what you think. I liked everything i read about ribbon tweeters and thought it sounded perfect. I tried the Martin Logan with the ribbon tweeter and didn't like it so i returned the Motion 60's. I ended up with the B&W 702 S2. They don't have much punch but better uppers.
Not that I'm going to buy these, but I'm curious about a few things. W/ 3, 8" woofers, I wonder if a basic Yamaha home theater receiver w/ 100 watts/channel @ 8ohms (amp rated at 4 ohms - 8 ohms) could cope w/ these speakers. They appear to be power hungry and I wonder if a regular amp can power them while also having a bunch of surround and atmos channels. Second, the 4ohm rating might be an issue as I'm sure the resistance occasionally goes lower than that, which would sap a basic amp (either for stereo music or home theater) down to the bone. Third, for your upcoming review, please talk about quality and not just volume/power. Does the midrange come out? Do the high frequencies pierce through the potentially loud bass? Do the woofers put out good, subtle bass at low volumes? How do the woofers perform when paired w/ a high quality sub and crossed over at the amp at 80hz? What about multi-channel stereo, as in 7 channels equally playing? A good test is the music, "CYMATICS: Science Vs. Music - Nigel Stanford." That has awesome sound effects and punchy bass.
emotiva on their webpage suggested minimum power requirements for these to drive..it was 120 watts...but thats minimum. to run them nicely with no lack in dynamic i would say you need around 300 watts per channel (4ohms).
@@ramonbmovies sorry my bad, 20 watts less..it was 100 watts of minimum recommended amplifying power. 120 watts i took from memory, but it was from another reviewer of these big boys th-cam.com/video/WhcuJIm_MVc/w-d-xo.html At 11:35 he speaks about difference in sonic performance powering them with less capable amp - 120 or 125 watts per channel one...and he was disappointed in a way in, cause sonic differences were audible between this and the amp which was powering them before and gave 450+ watts per channel @4ohms
Another great Chinese Communist made product. But quality and efficiency I will stick with my USA 🇺🇸 made Klipsch La Scalas. Out perform these any day of the week. Cheers 🍻 Eh!
yeees!!!!big boys in "da" house! cant wait the review! and cant wait the compare cause i own t2+..and want to get t3+
The review is coming in a few days. There will be audio samples so you can hear how they compare to the T2+.
Looking forward to the T2+ and T3+ comparison. Had my eyes set on the T2+ and then saw the the T3+. Two shiny objects for us consider!
Been waiting for these.
Oh wow I've been waiting for this cant wait to see how they compare to the arendals because those 2 sets of speakers are in my short list these 1723 and the power sound audio speakers
I love those! I’d love a pair! Emotiva makes great stuff and they are great value as well.
Looking forward to your review.
Thank you 🍻
Thanks for watching, I'm editing now, so the video should be out in a day or two. 😁
Nice one..this is my dream setup next to polk R700s with the R200s as surrounds
I want to review some Polks at some point. Happy New Year!
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist looking forward to that. Happy New Year to you too!
Looking forward to the review! This is exciting!!
I really like those and look forward to your review.👍
Thanks 🙏🏾
These are something 😍
😁
The look on your face at 7:15 is priceless!!
😁
You look elated!!! Let’s GO!!!
😁
Oh boy!! Those are some nice speakers!
😁😁
Another great review! Keep up the fantastic work! Perhaps a full round up of the Klipsch current flagships?
Thanks! I don’t have a plan to do that but that’s not a bad idea, let me see if I can get some.

They look fantastic for real love em
Thanks for sharing!
What's the difference between the t3+ vs xt3?
They remind me of a less expensive version of my speaker which is a Legacy Focus se minus less amt tweeter and smaller woofers and smaller mid ranges. The cabinet angle for less baffle diffraction etc is the same would not be surprised if they loosely based their design on the Focus SE.
👍🏾
Great job bro and are you getting the 15in subwoofer too? 😎👍
No, I haven’t requested the 15inch.
Very nice! *thumbsup*
Im looking at my b1+ and at this thinkin....comon little buddy grow up *chuckle*
😁😁
Nice unboxing. On your bi-wire setup, are your top wires reversed? Looks like you did red to black and black to red.
Great catch! 😁 I made a note in the video description.
For that photo it wasn’t connected to anything just a photo op. 😁

Hope you're honest with comparison to the arendals..great video...can't wait to see what is the scoop..

@@HomeTheaterHobbyist ok thks
I would buy a pair of T3+ simply because the immense size and eye-popping appearance trips my trigger.
Nice! How are you liking them?
Dang those look great !!
😁
I’m going to be buying these on Jan 2 (Tomorrow) along with the C3+
They will be replacing my 7 year old Polk TSx550T’s
Will it be a night and day difference you think?
You will not regret your purchase! I love this combo in my setup.
What are you powering yours with? How many watts RMS?

How much bro
Hopefully you post a system rank. Or is arendal just worth it above all else? I'm looking at Polk r700 vs arendal
The full review will have a couple audio samples where you can hear the difference between the 1723S, T2+ and T3+.
