Just one comment about parts, sometimes a less expensive part will sound better in a given circuit. Throwing expensive parts at a crossover might get you better sound, it will certainly get you different sound.

When he started putting down the design of the Harbeth is when I decided to unsubscribe. 

I wonder if it was this video regarding Harbeth (starting at the 9:30 mark)?  That was definitely an interesting take on its crossover...; I personally find it useful to get a peek inside a speaker and get an idea of its part qualify and construction quality.

I agree he doesn’t seem to push his products hard at all. It also would appear that if you are the first to send him a particular brand and model to play with, he will do the upgrades for free. This helps everyone in the long run.

All the best Danny.

What’s up with all these comments about how he doesn’t push his products or services? That’s the whole point of his videos!!!!! I’ve got a bridge to sell a few of you ;)

”look at all the faults I can find with this speaker and here is what I would do to make it better” is the point to every video he does. It makes people think he can make any speaker better.  And obviously if he can find faults in some of the great speaker designs then it MUST mean his speakers are flawless……..

The best point to take from all of this is that you don’t just throw more expensive parts at a design, like others have said, it might make it sound different but it was designed to sound a certain way. You can change this but it doesn’t always mean it’s better in the end.

I have built 2 kits from Danny and a crossover upgrade on another. He is a straight shooter and IMO does great work. The X-Statics are a fantastic speaker. Quality parts make good music, seems simple enough.
