I don't begrudge Danny for such videos. This is how his business model operates. From what I know, his main source of revenue comes from selling DIY kits and not upgrading speakers from other manufacturers. So why does he do it? Because it establishes his reputation in the industry as a cut above the other riff raff like Wilson, B&W, etc. The message being conveyed is that this guy knows his shit, he is a better designer than those idiots at Wilson. The halo effects helps him sell his DIY kits. It's a brilliant business strategy whether we agree with him or not.

I don’t think he know what he’s talking about.

The cabinets are no longer made of Corian though that’s what he said.

He make a huge deal about the tweeter and midrange sharing a common cable out of the crossover so that the tweeter has to go through a 220 mfd cap, which he po poo’s to no end. But when I look at the picture of the speaker’s backside, I see separate mid and high sets of cables out of the woofer cabinet. So why would he think the tweeter goes though the big cap?

He doesn’t know how Wilson does the woofers and didn’t bother to read the Stereophile article that clearly notes that both woofers are in parallel along with a 20 ohm resistor.

BTW, I put a 30 ohm resistor in parallel with the 18" JBL woofer of my speakers.  It smooths out the response tremendously.

Hmm.. I posted something a few mins ago. There was nothing offensive in my post. I see that it has been removed.
