A brief review of GR Research Bully
I was looking for speakers that would allow me to enjoy classic rock at reasonable volume. NOT at a venue volume. I don’t like loud music at all. Thus something that allows me to have full spectrum sound without having to crank in up. First I tried ProAc 38R, which were nice, but lacked bass at low volumes. Accuphase amp has loudness and tone controls, but they did not quite worked to my satisfaction.
So I ordered a pair of GR Research Bully, assembled. GR typically sells kits, but I am not into finishing cabinets so rather prefer it professionally done. It took about 12 weeks from the order to delivery. I did not buy matching stands and instead ordered custom metal made for me.
I am very satisfied. The bass section is powered - the amp is Rhythmik. It is, effectively, a subwoofer and is very adjustable - crossover frequency 40-120Hz, phase 0-180 and even includes parametric equalizer. This allowed me to adjust amount of bass to the volume level I prefer.
The speakers come with printed measurement chart (in GR Research room). I also performed a number of measurements in my room with UMIK-1 and REW for Windows. I could make frequency response pretty close to linear, but prefer a bump below 100 Hz to compensate for lower listening volumes. Waterfall is also very clean, no ringing.
Associated gear: Denafrips Terminator with DDC, Rega P6 + SoundSmith MC, Pass XP-12, Accuphase E650. The room is 30x16x8 with some acoustic panels and ASC Tube traps.
Admins need to clean these. Have little to do with my OP. @quickjack1234 - please remove yours. If you want to post your own, please do. But my thread was on a specific subject, so don't hijack the thread. If you wont remove, I'll report it to admins. |

Boy, I have seen some incredibly obtuse people here over the years, but this ranks right up there with any of them. The topic is the GR Research Bully speaker. You completely hijacked HIS thread. He asked you politely to remove your post and start your own thread, which is completely reasonable. I am sure that once your post is removed, you will go on a sniveling tirade about how unfair it is here. Jeez! |
@quickjack1234 - you suggest that I delete MY thread? Why would I do that? So you would come and pollute it again? You were reported. |
