Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit

We are talking about a $300 speaker, right? Not sure if ASR is up for reviewing speakers but if you look at the latest TAS issue that has the Stenhiem $72,000 speakers that he thought were the cats meow, and they had square edges, as well as many other speakers like Harbeth, which I think are very ugly and I don't like the sq, just my opinion.

Ok the windings aren't perfect, the cabinet isn't furniture grade, but again, it's a $300 speaker. I think this reviewer might have a grudge against Danny/GR research

@rbstehno I think this reviewer might have a grudge against Danny/GR research

I don't believe this is correct.  Please corroborate your allegation with substantive evidence.

Noske- that is just my opinion. Looking at the video, the reviewer didn’t like what Danny was telling him regarding how measurements are taken. I think this upset the reviewer. Plus, a while back, Danny called out reviewers for not doing appropriate tests for his speakers which also p$ssed off many reviewers.

I have seen less intensive reviews for $100k speakers, all of this for a $300 speaker. 

@rbstehno Thankyou. I don’t watch videos, I prefer written words, so what you say I cannot comment on.

This is a copy and paste of a few select quotes written by Amir. I have no comment as to whether a grudge or any manner of hostility may be written into it - that is for the reader to interpret with a sense of due process and common sense.

Rick was kind enough to post process mine to his resolution and chart dimensions and correlation was good.

I say be careful with waterfall displays. It is so easy to lie with them. Or misuse them (intentionally or not).

Ah, little giant killers... who doesn’t want to see an underdog win?

I know some may say I am biased to not like GR Research stuff. But I have given positive marks to another speaker kit of his. Importantly, I back my opinion with measurements and science/engineering of the design, not empty boasting. All the arrows point to the same thing. This speaker is simply a bad idea. Had the company spent time measuring distortion and getting feedback from others with better hearing, they would have no doubt gotten the feedback that the design was not feasible.

A fully finished pair costs $1,038. I am inclined to think that is relevant in the circumstances (what is their intended use?) and to keep the arrow straight.

Most of you are responding like petulant children that don't like what someone else says. Guess what, it's an opinion, you don't have to draw anything from his conclusions or opinions about how they measure, the graphs are useful for people who like quantifying what speakers or amplifiers do and don't do. It's a resource to use. Most of you honestly act like bose people which is sad, and you all could do the audio community good by not seeming so snobbish
