Oh one other thing.. The cost of drivers, Neo 3, 8, 10s have DOUBLED.
in the past 18 months or so...
32 neo 3s, 200. per driver.  6400.00
18 neo 10 @ 400.00 per driver. 7200.00

JUST DRIVERS......

!/2 the price 18 months ago.... same thing not a single difference.

The manufacture went through  ?????????? a doubling in price.
Greedy bastards... DOUBLE....

Regards..

Danny Richie designed his own version of the NEO3, is having it manufactured to his specs, and using it in some of his designs. He is currently working on his own NEO10. The NEO3 magnetic-planar driver and all his kits are detailed (with prices) on the GR Research website.

And for anyone who hasn't heard, DR has made a series of very informative videos on the subject of loudspeaker design, viewable on YouTube. Watching them will make you a smarter consumer! Also worth your time is to read through the GRR AudioCircle Forum. SO much info, a free education in loudspeaker design!

@bdp24 +1.  I have speakers with GR's Neo3 and they sound fabulous. I'm sure Danny will eventually have a Neo10 replacement as well, but he's not going to put it into production until he's completely satisfied that is as good or better than the original. 

Just heard that Parts Express maybe lowering the cost of the Neo 10's soon, which would be nice as Danny's having a tough time getting the results he's looking for on his. I've heard the original (aluminum) line Force speakers ~ 5 years ago, as well as the new composite version 3-4 months ago at Danny's,(my partner Jay and I make them with/for Danny)  they are an amazing speaker for sure, the newer version did have a significantly upgraded x-over as well. I would say that they are very immediate and real as far as a signature goes and if you have the dough, a keeper!! they do need subs so you will need some space for them to really sing.
