Speaker designer Danny Richie (GR-Research) directly attacks ASR

Certainly could be, if you then use those devices to design and create/build hifi gear that measures impeccably and sounds superb at a reasonable consumer level of cost.
Otherwise no, at a guess I’d say that’s £140k of equipment, and as far as I can make out amir is not monetising this website nor his YouTube videos so I guess he’s in it for the shits n’ giggles (and to inform/call out the utterly shoddy design & workmanship being sold today)
A lot of us like Danny. I bought the Rythmik, the F12G (for GR), that has his driver in it. It's a great sub. Danny knows his stuff, which makes his occasional phoolery irritating.
The tube connectors are only 60 bucks, it's the cable phoolery that distresses me more about Danny.

In Danny's defense, banana connectors do mostly suck. However, something like SpeakOn is the solution.
Welded Blue Jeans locking bananas work pretty good for us mere mortals.

I used to worry about his stuff. TBH now I listen to the music more than I worry about it. If it doesn't work and there's no sound, well then I will take a look at the connections and the bananas or speakons or screw terminals but only then.
Before seeing the light on the road to Damascus, I liked copper buss bar or grounding braid for my conductors of my speaker wire. The heaviness of my wallet is so much more thrilling than the other more expensive cables. As for binding posts, a set of screw terminals seems to work fine or speakons in a pinch as long as you regularly connect and disconnect the Speakon so the wiping feature does it's job. If you're super worried about it, just solder your cables directly to the output pads on the circuit board of the amplifier and directly to the crossover (if you use a passive one) on your loud speaker.

Blue Jeans are cheaper than my time to solder something. Because I suck at soldering.
Yes, many speaker connectors do SUCK big time. Speaker terminals too. No doubt the gold plating looks pretty and expensive. However, its only skin deep. Beneath that gold plating is actually crappy aluminum/steel alloy. Some are copper plated (I thought they are real copper, lol).
There is definitely some science in ASR. But its not absolute science, I would say is part science, part belief. Pretty much in line with enthusiats/hobbyists.
