      which amplifier are you using? i wonder if the audiolab 6000a will be okay for these speakers? Or from your experience or research, what do you think is the best amplifier for these speakers? Kindly help.

    I'm the one who asked you to do this Deep unboxing and I appreciate it so much. I had a question. What receiver or amp did u use to sound test these R 200s ? I bought them a couple months ago but haven't heard them yet because all the Av receivers have been out of stock. I have heard they might be hard to drive . Did u play them on a Receiver ? I'm looking at buying the Brand new Yamaha Rxa4a 110 watt and I figure it would have enuff power to push them pretty good. Thank u Good sir !!

      Hi, the amp is a Rotel one. But Yamaha, Marantz, Cambridge Audio are excellent choices as well. Check the Harman Kardon Citation Amp, a marvelous choice.

    Thank you for the only teardown of the R200! I just bought these and like everything but the tweeter. Do you know how to remove the tweeter?
    I wanted to test them with a different tweeter before I decide what to do.
    I have a speaker selector switch, so I was comparing these to Polk SDA2, Sony SSCS5, ESS AMT1, etc. Amp is Denon PMA1600NE with Denon DCD1600NE SACD deck.

      @@justinking5964 hi, I did start with 4 ply of Swifter sheet,3, 2, 1 ply. 4 or 3 ply cut the piercing radiation but also killed some needed treble. Crutchfield was sympathetic and only charged $12 to return shipping them. It's a real shame since they were beautiful, solid, the best tight bass.

      @@justinking5964 hi, yes there were many ways to reduce the treble of the ring tweeters... but they are just bad for smooth sound or good imaging. It made no sense for me to pay for a bad new speaker. So now I'm refurbishing some 45 year old ESS Tempest, 8 inch 2 way speakers. They have the mid sized original Heil AMT tweeters. I had one membrane factory replaced last year. I just got Hivi F8 woofers from Parts Express for the cabinets, $60!

    Σύμφωνα με τις προδιαγραφές, πρέπει να είναι δύσκολο φορτίο. Πόση είναι η ελάχιστη απόσταση από τους πίσω και πλαϊνούς τοίχους, που χρειάζεται αυτό το ηχείο; Πολύ ωραία κατασκευή, σχεδιασμός και σημασία στη λεπτομέρια, πολύ καλή και η τιμή του.

    The crossover seems very complex with many iron core inductors. They tried to save a few bucks by skipping on quality component. How sad! Thanks for the video.

      Even tho they are cheaply made woofers, they sounded better on the fast attack and decay bass than anything I've tested. The cabinet must have perfect tuning and good spectral decay.
