Rick went above and beyond to add padding on his own dime. You can't ask for more.As far as I know, nothing was supplied and Rick had to put in padding in there himself.

...rez?My only question is how much No REZ was included in the kit? Tube connectors, check, high end crossover, check, $10 driver, check, very nice cabinet by Rick, check, fancy internal wires with audio perfect colors, check, but wait, where is the "No REZ"?
Material to line the interior of the cabinet to stop resonances. It is "usually" included in all of his recommendations like the tube connectors....rez?
Per the designer.…Material to line the interior of the cabinet to stop resonances. It is "usually" included in all of his recommendations like the tube connectors.
I just hope to change your mind one day.Just get a DAW or a VST plugin capable audio player, a distortion VST and a noise VST. You can dial in any combination of distortion and noise levels and composition at a fraction of money and effort.
No need to buy a tube amp or these speakers.
But if you love your tube amp, by all means…
Anyone can test that, distortion.Just imagine a listening session with the GR Research LGK 2.0. It would be informative to pinpoint the flaws in real time to educate people on distortion.
Ok, I get what you're saying with the Google Nest Mini. It sounds pretty terrible at high volumes.Anyone can test that, distortion.
There are lots of gadgets with sounds that distort and distort sharply if you turn up the volume a lot. Your Tablet, a bad old car stereo, clock radio and so on. This is also experienced by those who are not really interested in sound / HiFi because they, all of us, get pain in the ears fairly immediately and more or less headaches from that sound.
On the contrary a system,with sensible FR and low distortion, you can turn the volume a lot and think it sounds good. Even then fascinatingly high volume.
Speaking of audio and HiFi. A little OT for this thread but it still touches on the topic of distortion. A thread about why good sound reproduction among the general public nowadays does not seem to be a priority:Ok, I get what you're saying with the Google Nest Mini. It sounds pretty terrible at high volumes.
And yeah, I blew my ears out without knowing at a Justice concert in Versailles. They used line arrays which sounded incredibly clean (and lots of flashing lights). I underestimated the volume of the show. The sensory overload afterwards was nauseating. It felt like being buzzed on 10 shots of espresso and being deaf.
But, these are extreme examples which cause physical discomfort. Distortion is much less noticeable at lower % and lower volumes. I'm basically saying that it would be interesting to train people's ears to better choose speakers.
Hm, you have a point. Normally, it is these subjective Youtubers like Danny who howl about the big differences they can hear regarding in different, for example, cables. But as soon as someone challenges them with serious blind tests, it will be completely silent from their side. They have never taken any serious, independent blind tests. They claim something but can not prove it BUT in this case it is the opposite; Amir claims that distortion can be heard. It should be tested.I do not know how it will be done. Some kind of blind test, speakers, distortion and so on that is. In any case, if such a test can not be performed, it will only be considered imagination, what one hears.But, these are extreme examples which cause physical discomfort.

Audio Nirvana (David Dicks) is the place (guy) who pushed Lowther twincones in bass reflex enclosures (maybe still does). Oy vey.If you are a serious loudspeaker hobbyist, it has been long long ago that you have abandoned doing 3" FR systems for anything but amusing LF distortion demos.
As a side note, I think this is an EOL driver from Audio Nirvana in Missouri. I have a pair here from perhaps 6 years ago; have not yet built with them.
Ha, don't wind yourself up about junk panthers & junk speakers, it's not worth it!I hope everyone has read post #362. One of our esteemed members has put his reputation on the line. If it isn't what he says it is, then he is a fraud. But getting past that point, I had to give up my sit down strike named "Power to the Panther", as I got hungry and decided to get some food. Plus no one joined me. I was the only one sitting between the great unwashed masses of speaker buyers and a giant scam. Luckily, I put my big boy pants on, hiked them up and held the line, well, until I got hungry. You all can thank me later for sitting in the breach between ASR and a big fraud. Next time guys, give me some help. So again, Power to the Panther!
Yes, you guessed it. It is 1:44am and I can't sleep. I will pay tomorrow for not sleeping tonight.........
I hope everyone reads post #233. We should find ways to explain discrepencies between GR Research's measurements and AudioScienceReview's measurements. I mean GR Research's reputation is on the line, they should strive to market competitive products. I feel like you're just burning GR Research at the stake (figuratively) because AudioScienceReview reviewed a dud. To be clear, I am fine with the "not recommended" conclusion. I just find it excessive to slander GR Research.I hope everyone has read post #362. One of our esteemed members has put his reputation on the line. If it isn't what he says it is, then he is a fraud.

At first this looks radically different than what the company shows:
I have circled some of the reasons the two graphs look different. Danny is using improper and heavy filtering (1/3 octave) for his measurements. This gets rid of the myriad of variations you see in my graph. He also uses gated response to get rid of room reflections which in the process removes any resolution below a few hundred Hertz. This is why his graph starts at 200 Hz rather than 20 Hz.
Unfortunately I think I’m the one who taught him to do that (use gated measurements) in the thread where he got me banned. I was pointing out how making acoustic adjustments is more beneficial for your dollar than having more expensive binding posts, cables and such and demonstrating it with measurements. It’s not optimal, but when you don’t have a Klippel or a really good anechoic chamber, it’s the best you can do. I remember that at one point he had claimed to have built an anechoic chamber in a garden shed. That literally makes no sense. I was banned before getting a chance to call him out on that. I was so busy logically and politely defending attacks by his followers which only seemed to make them all the crazier. I remember thinking how strange it was that in this day and age we still have cults.JSmith
