The fact that a layperson is critiquing a professional labor is what caught my eye.. Thousands of people in my life offered opinions on heavy duty repairs. I believe it's called arm chair quarterbacks. I'm pretty good at it too. I also live in a small glass house.
I find the same with Danny Ritchie. I remember some of his early repairs in regards to VMPS. It was a "hoot" to follow the threads.
He has grow up in the industry just like everyone else and is a part of it. He produces a product and is successful. He has modified a lot of speakers to sound different.
His repairs are at a price point. The reviews on his work are there for anyone to read. I knew/know several owners of GR speakers. I haven't heard all of them. I owned the 123s LS9s and still own 4 dual 12" OB subs. Bang for the buck, and quality, it's a good product.
I read the comments on the LGK 313.00 flat pack. I've never heard it, so I can't comment. The bookmark for a bookshelf speaker was an Infinity Infinitesimal. The first 2 versions. I still have both pairs. 1975 or so. I'm not a peanut speaker fan. But The little Infinity was "THE" standard for me. I have no clue how they measure.
OTOH GRs NX series, very nice sounding, nice looking and reasonable priced speakers. Couple them with GRs servos. Pretty dynamic system for any amount of money.
Have I HEARD better. NO!
I find GR a wonderful company to work with. I've never used any cables or connectors. Just cabinets, speakers and Rythmik plate amps. I use my own wire, connectors, dampening and decoupling devices.
Have any of the people commenting about GR owned their products? Have you worked with the GR staff and Danny? Are any of the people commenting
in competition with GR?
Do you need to Dyno tune your car or will a set of spark plugs work?
This site measures equipment objectively but the measure of other people is subjective.
With NO personal experience or interaction the measure is purely subjective. LOL I find that interesting.
When you have tools that do the job and the business reflect it's success by the use of those tools, why would you spend 100K or change anything?
The measure of success is success itself. Not another person's opinion. I was asked that often late in my career. YOU spend money on a new wrench
this one works just fine Kiddo.
I like Danny and I like the fact that he changes as he learns. I've never seen or read about an unhappy customer either.
I read personal remarks about him. That comes with success. That and 5 dollars will get you a cup of coffee too.

Even when the speaker measures well, he is often replacing parts for the sake of alleged "next level performance". Strange he provides measurements as a weapon but supplies none for some of his alleged improvements. He recently did another No-Rez promo video and there is not a single spec or measurement to illustrate its applicability or effectiveness.
