Grail T5 Speakers


Two recent issues of Stereophile featured large ads for these previously unknown speakers. I responded to the first ad and received a download "book" explaining why the speakers were so great. A number of emails to someone identifying themselves as JV Grail ensued. He had a complicated sales pitch asking me to buy the speakers and host demonstrations in my home for which I would be credited to the point that the speakers would be free. That was just red flag #1. Others followed, including no identification of the company's locale, only a Facebook site that featured zero customer input or reviews. The emails developed an unpleasant almost scolding tone, especially when I did agree to be a demonstrator and did not respond to his offer to take my money and invest it in Bitcoin! He suggested that these remarkable opportunities were a "no brainer." At last word, he was working on a second round of speakers, yet no customer reviews were ever posted. I contacted Stereophile and they terminated the ads, but not before a second one appeared in the next edition. This had all the hallmarks of a scam. Does anyone have further information or did anyone ever receive a pair of the speakers?

Hi grailloudspeakers, I love your design particularly opposing the woofers like you did. But the woofers are going to become directional at some point creating a null right in front of the speaker. This would force you into crossing to the tweeter lower down which is not good for tweeter durability or headroom. Is there a trick here I am not seeing?

Some people are difficult for a very intelligent person to deal with. I find it best to avoid them before I start pulling my hair out. It is what I hired my office manager do to and she is one tuff cookie:)

You could cut a hole on the front to fit a midwoofer in there. It would need to be a small driver as the front is narrow. Its not a big job.
