Ah yes, of course. The immature children are coming out to play I see. So typical.

Sorry Chops, couldn't resist busting your chops a little. You have to admit you left yourself wide open for that.

I have 7 pairs of GR Research speakers across all the ranges.

So I guess the XLS also ?

They were my first.

Uh nice; I am super happy with those; if the brute does what the encore does and adds the dynamics in the low end I think that would be end game for me

I like the concept having a speaker that does full range without needing a sub.

Thanks for sharing your progress

I will do a post on them once I get the cabinets. This will be my first time veneering.

Danny oh Danny what have you done? I have a few hours through my Brutes and I’m thinking these may be the best box speakers I ever had. Amazing.

There is no way no how a speaker can be produced using the x series drivers that will ever compete with the NX series. But that’s not the goal of this speaker. It’s a one box, full range, loud playing speaker that can work anywhere.

Still waiting on the stands so I have them on my KLH stands for now.

Here is the Veneer vs raw MDF.

That's funny they kind of make those KLH speakers look like toys.

Plus a 3.1khz crossover to the tweeter leaving the rest to that huge midrange driver.

Nice job on the veneer and the build, what type of veneer is it?

Edge Supply Walnut peel and stick. The drawback with this stuff is the 3M adhesive gums up the router bit fast and you have to clean the bit off every section.
