Yep, looks like a very new project will soon be ready for prime time.

Follow along in this thread, it is coming in bits and pieces...

Ok Danny,

You can't make a post like this with no details

Danny Richie · « **Reply #2 on:** 19 Sep 2012, 01:28 am »

Yeah, this year we are going over the top man!

tell us please....

It could be anything from a super wave guide to total open baffle line sources. We need pics!!! About the only guarantee is that the woofers are servo driven.

So, more than one type of speaker?

I have been designing a new product line for a new company. I dropped a hint about that already.

The new company is called Serenity Acoustics. And by new I mean totally new, not a peep, no talk, no publicity, still getting moving.

I have designed a lot of product lines before, but this part for me is a bit new though. I typically get a royalty that is some sort of percentage of sales for my design work. This time I took a small percentage of the company.

And I get say so about the whole product line. Whatever I decide.... And there are designs from a 93db mini-monitor that will play down to a -3db of 20Hz.

To a full open baffle line source with a full line of servo subs.

The first finished pair will debut at RMAF. It is one of the middle sized models. And I get to be the front guy at the shows for Serenity Acoustics.

So in a way I am not even getting to show a GR Research product in my own room.

Very interesting indeed! Pretty dang high sensitivity from a mini monitor. Tell us more about the model you'll be showing.

Not sure if you've mentioned this, but will DIY kits be available for the Serenity speakers?

Nope, these are fully assembled speakers with fairly complex cabinets.

I do have some new really serious kits in the works though. That new X-optima is going to be really good, and the X-Otica is going to be really awesome.

Woo Hoo!!!

...errrrrr, I mean: CR@P!!

Fully assembled??? Probably takes them out of my price range.

OK then - how long before the next generation of GR shows itself?

Wait a minute - how can you even call your room at RMAF the GR Research if there's no GR Research there????

My man cave is calling for them. Can't wait to see/hear them in a little over three weeks!

jcotner · « **Reply #14 on:** 19 Sep 2012, 03:50 am »

I started a thread a while back and Danny provided quite a bit of detail about the
Serinity speakers then. Might be worth a re-read.

BTW I don't think I ever told the general population here I bought Danny's personal
pair of Diluceos, so I'm not shopping anymore. But of course the new speakers
look very interesting.

Congratulations Danny. Sounds like a promising business venture. Can't wait to see the new kits from GR-Research!

How about an MTM design in a sealed box with a side loaded 12" servo sub in the same cabinet?

Danny, how does this speaker fit into your new line of GR Research speakers? Is this in addition to your X series offerings and where will it fall in your line of speakers?

It appears that Serenity Acoustics will be targeted to a high end clientele, so we may be drooling over products that we can't afford. Danny -- are you pulling a Romney on us??? Please sir -- don't turn your back on the poor and disenfranchised audiophile. We pay our taxes.

GFisk, Danny had an older version with what would be a N3S in the top sealed and a side loaded 12 with the servo amp on back. I have though of making one of these, but the weight to ship would be big.. heavy... Something like this would work with Danny's kits with little mods..

Go forward one post... sorry..
