Hello everyone from Kerala, India
« on: 3 Aug 2020, 06:23 am »
Hello There,

My name is Manjulal and I am from Kerala, India. I am an audio enthusiast and an IT engineer by profession. I love DIY when it comes to electronics, drones, etc. and recently I have stumbled upon Danny's GR Research site and decided to try my hands with the X-LS Encores.

The cost of the kit including shipping costs to India is really making things questionable as we get ready made good quality floor-standing/bookshelf speakers for almost the same amount from reputed brands (Eg. Wharfedale). But I really want to try my hands in building the speakers for myself since I have been hearing all praises and good things about the X-LS encores. This will be my first attempt in building a speaker pair.

My plan is to hook up the X-LS Encore speakers to an Yamaha R-N303 amplifier, which is considered to be a budget amplifier ($400) in this part of the world. [https://in.yamaha.com/en/products/audio_visual/hifi_components/r-n303/specs.html#product-tabs]

Do you feel this combination will work?

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.
