Response Audio is now offering custom built, fully assembled GR Research Open Baffle speakers. The only thing you will have to do is unpack them, set them up in your system and start enjoying the music.
We wanted to release these speakers at a price that was very attractive for those who simply want to set up thier speakers and start listening. As you can see below, we have incorporated a lot of added features to bring out the very best these speakers have to offer and make them as user friendly as possible
The first speaker available is the OB 7 and will contain the following features:
*The OB-7 will come standard with the M130X woofer upgrade
*Custom outboard crossovers will utilize user adjustable 3-4 position BMS (Bass Management System) and 3 position TLC (tweeter level control) switching.
*All speakers cabinets will have the bass enclosure lined with No-Rez damping material
*Bass section will utilize Acousta Stuff
*Custom built speaker enclosures by Custom Concepts will utilize the veneering and curved side panels as seen in the photo below.
*Custom built matching outboard crossover enclosures also built by Custom Concepts (pictures coming soon)
*External crossovers will utilize Speak-On connectors to connect crossover to speaker. We have to use outboard crossovers for this speaker to be able to accommodate the BMS and TLC networks. One "umbilical cord' will be used for the bass drivers with a separate cord being used for the MTM section. (4 umbilical cords total per pair of speakers)
*Point to point connections in the crossovers. No circuit boards
*Sonicap capacitors used throughout
*SoniCap Teflon bypass capacitors used throughout the high pass filter
*SoniCap Gen II bypass capacitors in all other areas.
*Alpha Core copper foil inductors
*Mills resistors
*Speak-On terminated 30" long connection cords for outboard crossover - 2 per speaker
*High quality 14 awg. DH Labs Silver Plated OFC cabling w/Teflon dielectric used throughout the speaker and umbilical cords.
*High quality bi-wire binding post used on the crossovers
*High quality RoHS compliant silver solder used for all connections so we are good to go on international orders.
*Aside from the adjustable BMS and TLC, the crossover circuit itself is untouched.
*Optional Mundorf capacitors are also available for the high pass filter. Inquire for price.
Introductory price for one complete pair of speakers with all features mentioned above is only $3850. Further details and pricing for all models available on our website.
