Whats the difference between N-series  N1,N1X and N2X.

Also is this one series higher than the X-series ie X-LS encore

[HAL]

The X-LS series speakers used a soft dome tweeter.  The N series used GR-Research version BG NEO3PDR planar tweeter.

That pretty much sums it up.

And that Neo tweeter was a favorite of mine.

Of all of the best dome tweeters that I have used the T26SG used in the Encore Series was a favorite as well.

Keep in mind that the Neo3 PDR is not currently available due t othe purchase of BG by Christie Digital.
You cannot go wrong with the  X LS Encores,they are a great little monitor that truely punches  way above it's price point.  Spend a little extra $ and add a sheet of no rez  to the kit, well worth it. There   are also other options (Sonicaps, tube connecors etc) that are worth considering but even in stock form, youi'll be astounded  at what you  get out of these  speakers

Danny, in the above statement, do you mean 'was' or 'is'?  I hope this was just a grammatical slip and not a concern that the T26SG is also on the extinct list?

Another question on the T26SG tweeter if you don't mind.  When I got to hear the XLS Encores, I remember the feeling that the tweeter was quite a bit more forward in presentation than the classic tweeter; more revealing, but also more forward.  This was if I remember correctly an AV123 cabinet with the stock crossover.  Would a parts upgrade in the crossover (cap and resistor or is there an inductor on the tweeter circuit too?) from the stock parts mellow it out a little bit in comparison to the classic tweeter or is that just a nuance of character for the T26SG?  I've thought on upgrading the parts in the XLS classics I have sometime in the future, but have hesitated thinking about this.  I also couldn't tell you if the speaker I heard was fresh out of the box or had been burned in for a while.

Good question, as the GR Research site is the only vendor Google was able to find.  It doesn't say that it's not in stock, but the inventory isn't real-time either.  It allowed me to add Qty. 10,000 to the cart for a total of $499,000.00.  What, no price break?

Sorry, it IS a favorite of mine.

That's odd. I never felt the presentation was forward in any way. It might have been the result of the gear and or room you heard it in.

And I can make it sound any way that you want really.

I've thought on upgrading the parts in the XLS classics I have sometime in the future, but have hesitated thinking about this.  I also couldn't tell you if the speaker I heard was fresh out of the box or had been burned in for a while.

Burning them in for a while will soften the presentation a bit.

It is hard to say what caused them to sound that way to you, but that is not their normal character. I do not like a forward presentation.

I think I have about 2,500 of them in stock. I'll make you a deal on them if you need that many.

That's why google couldn't find any other vendors with them

Reviving an oldie here...

Are the N-series kits no more? I thought there was a good replacement for the BG Neo 3 now?

[Hobbsmeerkat]

There is a replacement for the Neo3, but its only  the "open rear" version.
It might be possible to 3D print a back cup similar to the one used by BG, but it would need to be tested & tweaked to make it a viable/reliable solution.
Unless Danny is also developing a version similar to those too

[Danny Richie]

If you can find some Neo 3 prd's with deep back cups and BG ace plates then I can offer the rest of the kit to you on any of those.
