Quick speaker review: Ojas DIY kit

Hey there @garthb309. Now that you’ve had these for a while, can you elaborate on your thoughts about their sound? I’ve been looking for an efficient pair of speakers for my Leben 300xs. It’s been frustratingly difficult to find any reviews on how these speakers actually sound, just lots of interviews with Devon. I’m wondering if you could compare them to other high efficiency speakers? I’ve owned Zu Soul’s MII and have listened to the Soul Mk VI as far as high efficiency go. Thank you!

@garthb309 which cornwalls did you have?

I’ve also been wanting to hear more feedback on these. Lack of serious reviews makes one think the speakers did their job of marketing to the not so serious audiophile and more to the street wear fashion crowd. Good to hear you at least had a good speaker to compare them to

@avgonzalez77 @blkwrxwgn great questions, and great point about the marketing.    My comparisons are the Klipsch heritage series: heresy's, cornwalls, la scalas, and belles.  Most recently I had souped up Belles with ALK crossovers in my basement/man cave.  In that space, to me, the Ojas speakers outperformed the Belles (and the rest of the Klipsch's).  I think the Ojas does a nicer job on the treble/high end without ear fatigue, and the lower end are actually crisper than the Klipsch.  My wife summed it up on the overall sound: "The Ojas have a great "80's" sound.  

It's possible (highly probably even), that the La scalas/Belles crush the Ojas in a large space, but in my 13' x 18' room with low ceilings the Ojas sound way better in a lower volume setting.  

If you want more validation on how much I like them:  I bought a second pair of Ojas, the latest pair with the mod kit!

Also, Devon and his team provided great customer service, I had some problems with the second mod kit and he sent replacement parts out immediately and was very helpful.

hey @garthb309 thanks for the follow up! Question for you - how would you characterize the "80's sound"?
