Speculation time - LS-9 vs. the Apex II
« on: 25 May 2006, 10:47 am »
I would like to compare the not yet released GR Research LS-9 to the RAW Apex II's . No doubt both are great . Just looking for strengths and weakness areas of each . Not here to bash anyone .

 1. What is the -3db down point for each ?

 2. Total weight , net and shipping ?

 3. THD% specs for each at the same levels .

 4. Which will play with less compression . Say 300 watt input or something . I bet #3 could be part of this one .

 5. Which will play closest to 20hz ? Basically one would be LOOKING for a subwoofer in the room .

 Again the LS-9 is not out yet . No real data for them is either , or is it ??


best regards

I really don't see this as being much of a comparison in regards to the questions that you asked. It will be quite the apples and oranges comparison.

The LS-9's will play lower with a -3db down point in the mid 20's.

The LS-9 will be considerably heavier.

Distortion across the board will be much lower in the LS-9 in comparison to any point source type speaker.

The LS-9 will also have no signs of dynamic compression and will breeze through very high output levels with ease.
