Danny Richie on loudspeaker design.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for Danny, as both a designer and a contributing member of the audiophile community. Just my opinion!

^ + 1 !

He takes on a task nobody else wanted and provides legitimate enhancements for a fee. 

And he charges no fee for the design work he puts into the loudspeakers sent him for evaluation, just the parts needed to implement his "fix" should the loudspeaker owner decide to move forward with the upgrade. I'm sure the owner pays shipping both ways, of course.

But remember gentle reader, GR Research offers it's products strictly as DIY kits, not fully assembled and finished products, though Richie has associates who will do the build if you are willing to pay.

Danny definitely pushes for a higher performance level and is good for the consumers.  I think it’s great that he explains in easy to understand terms and educates people. He also exposes the parts quality used in most speakers for what they are ....it’s shocking what some companies will put inside a multi-thousand dollar speaker. It seems the bigger the company, the more pressure there is from above for profit.
