Even the best recording studios don’t have this much gear. Since they’re getting the perfect sound, why not spend money on studio monitors and an acoustically perfect room?
Dig those horns, but don't dig the insane price tags. A good DIY system could get you 90%+ of the performance at 5% of the cost. The whole "audiophile" market segment is a bunch of pretense, smoke and mirrors, coupled to overpricing.
This is how I felt when I was building my car system. Everything was planned from the subwoofer box to the 3 way. Everything was built with tuning in mind, from directional facing to port firing spl build. It's honestly really amazing what all goes into making a system sound really really good. Honestly a lot of the stuff wouldn't have made sense to me just a few years ago. It does take some time to wrap your head around the perfect system. Thanks for the video loved it. I have a lot more to learn thats for sure.
…and so, we are witness to 2 intriguing aspects. SCALE, AND TIME. The first is obvious to all with functioning vision. The man lives, and breathes his passion for the world’s greatest recorded performances. ( we certainly get that). 🌹 I will address TIME in a second posting.
Every one in Audio does its all about if you can pay 4 that and that dont work unless you have huge space and it will not play hip hop or metal n more only sounds good if you like horns with the dress on we know how he got around 😮😊
Ich war dort und habe es angehört. Der Klang ist nicht nur schlecht, sondern katastrophal, länger als 5 Minuten hält man das nicht aus. Die chinesischen Hornlautsprecher klingen wie ein Grammophon. Lieber 1.500.000,-€ verschenken, als für diesen Müll zu bezahlen.
The ESD Super Dragon is the most expensive comb filter I've ever seen, and also heard elsewhere on youtube. The listener has to be positioned on the point at infinity to get a coherent sound picture. But it is sure most beautiful to *look* at, no doubt about that.
The infatuation with vinyl amazes me. Here, we have state-of-the-art systems utilizing vinyl media which is dramatically limited in terms of dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio, as well as musical detail, when compared to digital sources. Yet, even wealthy audiophiles prefer vinyl. Utterly ridiculous.
@@AudiophileHighEndAudio I acknowledge that vinyl may "sound" good to some listeners but, in actuality, it isn't nearly as accurate a representation of the music. It can't possibly have the same punch, nuance and detail as a digital source because vinyl simply cannot contain as much musical information.
Just imagine how far this money could have gone towards building a school or hospital for people in the poor countries who mine materials for our electronics.
@@a0r0a7 That's part of the charm of vinyl. I understand that you're not looking for that. A well-recorded CD can also sound really great, and the convenience of CDs and streaming is higher. I use everything myself. I use streaming to discover music and, if the recording is excellent, I then buy the album on vinyl or CD. Personally, I find vinyl to be the best, followed by CDs, then downloads on a hard drive, and finally real-time streaming.
I you understood how simplistic Class A amps are to build you would be banging on the Gryphon Manufacturer's owners door asking for a FULL Refund! LOL.
At a certain price point, it doesn't make sense not to also have a complete custom built room or even building, because beyond say around 20k, it's a question of diminishing returns, and the room will have way more effect on the sound quality than any esoteric tweak or change to the gear.
What is the crossover slope? In general crossover is something we want to minimise and avoid. Every order introduces 90 degrees of phase shift between the upper and lower frequency bands. These are very hard to correct in analogue domain. But in recent years, possible to measure the impulse response from each driver and time align these together with phase correction. But not possible with analogue active or passive crossover. So much better to use very capable and linear drivers just to cover the 20hz to 20khz, then add uhf and subs to this 2-way system. The challenge is making these very capable drivers. Traditionally large format TAD and JBL compression drivers would be the more promising way to go for high end diy audio. Not sure why these systems are going down the opposite way... these many crossovers are just opening a whole lot of cans of worm of problems... 😅
Another important factor we need to consider when having crossover with drivers that are not physically aligned, is the comb filtering effect. Think of the scenario at the crossover frequency, you have two coherent waveform propagating forward. But there are from two different locations. Remember the constructive and destructive interference pattern this creates? This is why many high end audio companies trying to make coaxial units to ensure that the HF is on the same axis as LF. Like the Uni-Q on KEF, the TAD Reference One and even the latest JBL D2 D2430K dual diaphragm compression drivers. They are all applying the same concept of achieving coherent source.
That would be pointless because you can't hear what the systems sound like through your device. It's literally impossible. So there's no point in that.
What kills me on the first one (EST)... it is just 4 million... and then they have a person using a 300 dollar camera to capture the event. (insert palm slap here).
4,000 sq.ft or 370m2 for $1mil is easy. 10-20% of that for a music room is plenty and $50k for an end game sound system including a good size piece of land.
No creo que haya tanta diferencia entre buenos equipos de Hi-Fi y Hi- End. Lamentablemente nuestros oídos captan ciertas frecuencias y no creo que haya muchos oídos que superen más frecuencias. Esto es un negocio y siempre hay excéntricos que se jactan de ser diferentes y escuchar por sobre la media.
I love more than anyone a good sounded. Stereo system. I've Tinkered with sound all of my 50 years of life. But there is a lot of sound. This guy has going on here that only a dog can hear. But I guess it's there. We'll just have to take his word for it. Or at least put a dog in a room and watch his action.
I've been into high end audio since the early 80s and I can tell you this: 1) ALL sound reproduction is subjective. 2) There is NO PERFECT SOUNDING SYSTEM! 3) No one ever touches the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY SPEND! There, saved you all millions of £/$/€ and your marriage/relationships etc............ 😑
sound should be adjusted to your taste! I have been doing it myself for years, and I do not have a single stock component in the system. Only Custom. Even the wires.
Incredible. Again, super, mega, never seen, never heard of, big, big, huge achievement of mega, super mega, specialists, engineers, doctors, Chinese. Given that the world is full, even overcrowded with madmen, one will find one to buy the Ugliness. And one more thing - look for suckers who can hear the 100 kHz produced by your Caricature. 😅😅🤣🤣😂😂
What’s the point? Trying to compensate? Better to give the money to educate and feed the needy. Also, men in dress is not a good look. Sorry, just my opinion.
1 million dollars for a very high quality home stereo system?….. It must sound THAT good!! But what clearer sound than hearing it live? I’d rather hire the actual band to play for me live and end up with the left-over money from that MILLION dollars.
Were looking and these systems and we didn't get to hear any music. What nobody had a King Tubby album on the Blood and Fire label. If your gonna test out a system ya gotta play some dub

How long did it take to phase align all those drivers? Timing is the biggest issue with these. Must take a month to trace and align correctly.
