Congratulations on the release, wishing you successes.
Very inspiring to build your products in public like this. Appreciate the transparency with your goals and the story of why you did what. Very interesting and engaging.
Thanks, glad it was entertaining.
Congratulations Thomas! I'm sure the speakers sound incredible! Knowing you you must have worked day and night. Hopefully I can listen too them soon
Congrats on bringing another product onto the market.
Thank you!
Oooh! Desktops, Just what I was looking for. How apropos. Well done.
Reggae, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊
Very interesting & constructing presentation! I really wish more manufacturers would disclose their design process like that.
Thomas I met you at Axpona 2023 and had a fabulous time talking to you. For this price you’ve convinced me to take a chance. Looking forward to hearing it up against my Sound Artist LS3/5A. I suspect this one will sound more smooth and dynamic.
Thanks! Yeah, there is no real risk because if you don't like it, just return it. My only ask is play some disco music a decent loud volume for a day to break it in.
Well, if the measurements are anything to go by, yes the Voyager will sure be more smooth.
Keep it up Thomas, I still want your amp ! I think it is wonderful. Now speakers 🔊, the sky is the limit ! Good Luck !
Thomas great job!!! Very interesting the speakers impedance is around 10-12 ohms.
Well done Thomas! Another great product.Looking forward to the release of your new amps and the reviews that will follow. I'm sure all your products, including these speakers will be praised. A pair of floorstanders are hopefully in the pipeline 🙏
I do have access to a pair of floorstanders but shipping is expensive so that is why I am hesitant. Also, who wants to pay $3500 for a Galion speaker?
Exciting stuff going on at Galion!
Really inspired by you Thomas, your courage to put your money into your hobby in such a big way. 4 thumbs up. I am NOT a Ls35A midrange-centered British sound guy. I'll wait for your next bookshelf speaker that has 47-50 Hz bass in it. No no no, no subwoofer in the mix. I will support you then (esp. if it's below US$2.5K, shipping included).
Would be making another speaker in the next 12 months? Excited with what you are doing Thomas!
Thomas, I need to win the lottery so I can buy all your products! All the best with the new speakers.
Thanks! Go buy a lottery ticket today!
There are speakers that measure well and speakers that sound great despite measurements.
I once heard some LS3/5A speakers with a simple Naim Nait 3 and was so smitten. Just something about it was so captivating. Best of luck with yours. I may just pop for a set. I currently have Dali Zensor 1's. And, the original (verson1) of the Elac B5's. Both good, each a little different.
All the LS3/5A iterations have interested me --- except for the prices! Yikes! Thanks for keeping yours very affordable. Good luck!
100% - Looking forward to hearing them all !! =)
I'd like to put them against my Sonus Faber Lumina 2.
Nah, you would put the transmission line version against the Lumina 2. This one is really for desktop or very nearfield.
@@ThomasAndStereo ... 👍🏻👍🏻
Worked this time, I can't wait . Got to make some room !
Wow nice. I like the fact that the front baffle is screwed onto the box just like the legendary 3/5A. This is create a lossy box that the BBC pioneered.
There is always something cool and alluring to non ported speakers. I’m sure this one sounds good
Congrats Thomas great finish and every man price. I like my standing desk but my feet get tired faster than expected
Thanks, yeah, that is why I need to stand and sit a lot. It is painful to keep standing.
LOL,SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE GETTING OLD THOMAS 🤗💚💚💚
Where's the bass Thomas, where's the bass!!! Awesome video and I can't wait to listen to your new baby.
Was beaming taken in consideration with the high crossover point . I was wondering if you have measurements of the off axis response
Sweet!!! Congrats.
Thanks!!
@@ThomasAndStereo… Take my money! I got a small room and subwoofer. 😊
Well done
Thomas, I add my congratulations to others and wish you every business success. I would suggest, however, that you find a way to differentiate Thomas on Stereo product reviews from Galion TS product advertising and sponsorship ads. Folks are not necessarily used to tuning in to ToS and getting wall-to-wall infomercials/commercials.
Thanks for the advice, I will take it to heart.
Waiting for the TS Voyager Signature Edition, limited release, qty 50, hand-signed by Thomas himself! BTW, how does Thomas stand in paradise with all that wind and his hair is perfect! 😝
Its my new Galion product. TS HAIR GEL.
Thomas, any plans to add a standalone subwoofer option?
I am confused, didn‘t Thomas tease us with a transmission line speaker, and now yet another? Galion is very productive.
I am still waiting for an instant noodle soup sponsor 😊
Ah, the transmission line is the big brother of this speaker. Lol, instant noodles is the best.
Maggi, are you listening? 😅
GM ☕️…..this is going to make 2024 very very interesting 🧐
I'd throw the kit speaker Falcon Acoustics Q7 into the ring here (preferredly with the gold badge crossover). Half the price of an LS3/5a and same components, only slightly bigger cabinet.
This TS Voyager looks very similar to the Falcon M10 and of course Falcon also produce there transmission line IMF100.
Seldom does a UA-cam audio presentation get my attention and as well, make my excitement
audio-O-meter float up into the positive green zone but.... this one did. I could detail all of the
boxes this speaker checks for me but I won't. I have to think that for me this speaker just might
pair fabulously well with a decently powered Class A or G amp. Musical Fidelity, Schiit Aegir or
Adcom all come to mind but then a Hegel H95 might fit the bill as well. I know the sweet sound of the
Harbeth line but to be honest .... way too expensive for my taste. If I could find a speaker that
brings on the mid-range as you describe and do so at mid-low to mid volume then my search
would be over. The price was a bit of a pleasant surprise as well. Good God Thomas... what have
you (not done) but brought to light?? This engineer is brilliant. That waterfall graph (showing wasted
energy) was almost perfect. Never seen that before.... almost hard to believe.
Super congratulations on this one Thomas! ( a transmission-line version yet to come?🚀)
Thanks a lot and the best part is, there is a 15 day trial period so you can be sure you made the right decision...or not :) The transmission line one will be in 2 to 3 weeks BUT it is very different. The transmission line was designed to be use in a big room so the midrange is buttery smooth, I mean with extra butter, which is different than this speaker where the midrange has more texture. Also, you cannot use the transmission line nearfield, it has like 3x the bass of this speaker. A completely different experience.
First off Congratulations Thomas... You keep surprising me, in a very good way. I seriously look forward to these and very likely will be buying them. And likely pair them with a Subwoofer though that remains to be heard. Do you think they would fair well with an amp in the 45-80 RMS per channel. And did I miss their ohms? Cheer's 🙏🥂
Thanks, they are 8 ohms and yeah, I ran them with a 50w Iotavx and a 30w tube amp on my desk no problem at all.
@@ThomasAndStereo And I took Love Bamboo!
Lousy big fingers 😂 that's Too...
Great news! taking the industry by storm, one step at a time. All the bast Thomas.
Great review Thomas and very interesting speakers, of course!
Also good to see you're using a Yamaha WXA-50, one of my favoured amps, with the Voyagers 😊
Yeah, the WXA-50 is a hidden gem. I think I might have highly recommended as a product of the year in one of my videos.
Hi Thomas, I really like the way your designer found a driver that allowed him to push the crossover frequency to 5KHz, it makes a lot of sense to me. Too many designs crossover way too low and that also means needing tweeters that can handle much more power, which also has some major disadvantages. When paired well, a two way design should be very hard to detect which part of your signal is coming from the tweeter. Far too often, loudspeakers give fatigue because we are too aware of the different drive units and focus too much on the sound from the tweeter. Well that's what experience has taught me. Good luck with this new project.
Thanks Harley, it is so interesting speaker design. There are set rules but sometimes it is ok to not follow the rules.
@@ThomasAndStereo rules are always there to be broken! ;-) The trick is to know when you are doing it :-) Have fun, H.
Chario crosses at below 1600Hz, because according to them, it's more difficult to detect phase at such frequencies.
Many times, tweeters are detectable due to dispersion mismatch - wider dispersion than the woofer, in those mid-high frequencies, so you hear "more tweeter" in your room.
I have been running them as my my main desktops, and I think they like me. I like them also, I think I need a stronger amp but we will get there. I will not be selling these, they go in the casket lid!
LOL! I'm giving this a thumbs up just for the Star Trek reference.
If you can raise the sensitivity within it's volume constraint and defy the laws of physics that would be amazing. Are you keeping the classic LS35A bass hump or smooth it out for a more linear transition to a sub?
There is a bass hump.
Im sure the Spendors are excellent, and that would be my first choice.
Waterfall plot looks unusual? Is the low data cut off?
Cooking rice in bambo trunk. Delicious. I assume Thomas you tried that LOL.
I am sure I have tried that at one point.
Thomas ,send them to GR Resaerch
Let’s see what Danny has to say….
Lol.
Nice speaker. Sound demo sounds great. I was listening to the first track for a while deciding if I like the track and realize my toe is tapping all by itself. That's good.
Ah, that is a good sign. Yes, there is good bass with these speakers.
Man, at this price, I have to buy it! What? Shipping not available for Taiwan?! You gotta be kidding me. BTW, the voice of dinner call at 12:53 in the background sounds warm and special.
Yeah, I forgot to edit it out! Yeah shipping to Taiwan from the USA will cost a bit more but I have enabled it so it can be ordered.
Thanks man. Been waiting for a LS3/5a inspired speaker for years and hope this one will do the trick. Not enough detail and bass but musical? Sounds good to me. And kudos to you for getting yourself into a business no audiophile would even bother with.
Hi Thomas congrat on the new product do you have the frenquency range of those speakers? And how would it pair with my rels t5x
It is 80hz - 20khz. It will pair well with your RELs. There is a trial period of 2 weeks anyways so you can be sure if it works in your room or not.
@@ThomasAndStereo😊
love the mentioning of the rf7iii. the more i can learn about them i love. on a scale of 1-20 how bad is the mid range on the rf7iii? thanks man love the review. or how much better is the rmidrange of the speaker youre reviewing compared to rf7s? thanks again
The RF7 midrange is excellent, just that it does not have the resolution of the Klipsch Forte. Meaning, if you want to hear the exchange of breath of the singer, you would need to put more effort in. You can argue the RF7 is 'smoother' so you don't hear as much information in the midrange. It is not bad at all and some people might prefer that. We tend to exaggerate in a review when comparing but if you have nothing to compare to, the RF7 midrange is just fine.
@@ThomasAndStereo isee thank you. As always your the best
@@ThomasAndStereo what about comparing it to the speaker you were talking about in the video?
Bamboo is not a wood, its actually a grass. Never the less, this is a fantastic material if you can work with it as you have said Thomas.
Oh Thomas you’re a bad boy hahah. Im so happy for you that you started your own company and are doing things for the people! But, I am not happy for my wallet in the years to come 😂😂😂.
Looks like xsa vanguard. I have a pair. Didn"t know Thomas did crossover.
It is a XSA Vanguard, they have retired it and brought it under the Galion brand.
Interesting. While looking at your site and seeing how much shipping was, I was surprised to see Canada address had a "Shipping not available" while checkout.
Probably a bug?
Yes, I have just fixed it.
This one should have been named The Helm. Save the Voyager name for something else, perhaps the transmission line speaker. Galion Saloon would be a good name for the Transmission Line or a floor stander...
Ah, the transmission line is named TS Voyager TL.
Well I guess I need some new speakers , Thanks Thomas. Checks bank, not yet but sooooooooon.
This looks like a pretty decent deal for a desktop. Just curious, though, are you using dayton audio classic woofers and reference tweeters? What components are you using in the crossovers? Thanks!
I asked the designer and let me just copy and paste what he said.
"The capacitors and inductors are all custom made. If you notice the value of one of the caps is 11uF. A very non standard value. Even the 4.7uF cap was made for this as the manufacturer doesn’t hold onto large inventory of parts. They are made when the XO is ordered. The resistors are standard values and probably stock items but also made by same company. "
Yes, we use Dayton RST28F-4 tweeter and DC130A-8 woofer. They were chosen for smooth response, and low breakup modes below the XO frequency and the woofer has natural falloff at 5kHz which allows me to place an electro-acoustic 4th order low pass filter using a 2nd order electrical filter. The woofer also has a nice pincushion shape bezel for a distinctive retro look. The tweeter is quite advanced with a large magnet, a low resonant frequency, a damped rear chamber, copper pole pieces to reduce distortion, and uses ferrofluid cooling to handle higher power. It compares well to much more expensive Scandinavian offerings and I actually prefer the smoothness of the Dayton (cost no object). There is a “phase spider” mounted under the metal mesh grill to give a smooth polar response. I like the mesh grill - it protects the tweeter and smooths the sound. There aren’t many dome tweeters on the market with a mesh grill. The tweeter also has a thick aluminum front plate that feels solid and looks clean. "
Thank you for the great reply. I surely suspect you will sell quite a few of these once you offer an mdf or birch cabinet like you mentioned, at a slightly lower cost, I suspect.
I'm a big fan of the dayton classic woofers myself. The aluminum reference or even the aluminum classic series just don't do midrange for me very well. I wish you the best with these and your other ventures. I'm planning on buying one of your amps next year. I can't wait.
My Klipsch R15m's are a bit tired.
Looks alot like the little Harbeth....
LS3/5 BBC uses Kef drivers...and has a very complex and costly cross over filter.
Your speaker sounds very musical .......but a LS3/5 is an LS3/5......
Any way the demo is sounding GOOD !
So one should not compare those two different speakers ........both are what they are !
The woofer of the LS3/5 is mounted at the rear of the front panel.....that changes the dispersion and charges the speaker different than a front mounted speaker.
Wish you succes with the new speaker...and excellent synergy with your Galion amp...
Another speaker I like and I still listen too is the KEF ref 101........witch I sometimes prefer to the BBC speaker , both are closed cabinets ...
Exactly, both are what they are! Love that quote.
Hi Thomas
Can you give the spelling of designer
Being a Bob Carver fan I found it interesting that Dr ? is the lead designer
I would love for you to review the Carver RAM 285, I do realize this may be a little complicated since you are promoting your own products, but thought you would enjoy it just the same.
Take Care
Bill
Hi Bill, it is Dr. Viet Nguyen. Oh if I get a chance to review it, I am open to it forsure.
These are XSA labs Vanguard speakers
Yes, I shared that info on the Galion-audio page linking to rave reviews. It even won the system of the year award. www.tonepublications.com/audiophile-apartment/our-system-of-the-year-for-2023/
Hi Thomas, can you make a class B amplifier with tone controls, loudness, headphone jack and phono input build in without any sound quality compromised and without the price tag of the Accuphases, of course if you can also put the vu metres will be great 👍.
Wow, a class B, I don't think any of my designers are into class B.
Sorry it should be class AB.
@@ThomasAndStereo
@@jameschan2404 I was really impressed with what Emotiva came out with at the Toronto Audio show. Check out that video, it might have most of the stuff you want built in. I will be reviewing the BC Acoustiques EX234 which have also almost everything you are asking for for less than $1k

Hello Thomas, really interesting news. I always been big fan of closed speakers.
Are the speakers available for shipping in Europe? Are there any eupopenan warehouses so to avoid customers duties? Thanks

Hey Thomas i have a pair of totem mite how do they compare? and would your speakers go good with some rel t5x subs
Thanks for the video
@@stefpichette7742 I have owned the Totem Signature 1, Forest, Metal, and Sky and one thing they have in common is they are really revealing. Some are on the bright side, so if you like that kind of sound, then the TS Voyager is not for you. If you are however looking to explore other types of sound, then it would make sense. Yes, it will feel 'veil' compared to Totem but after a few songs, you might be surprised. All a question of taste. I don't recommend this to Focal fans.
Thomas i just bought the ATC SCM7's and they kill it. how would these compare?
I remember having that ATC for a while and yeah, great midrange. I can't really tell how they compare because it has been so long but you probably cannot put the ATC on your desk? I never tried that.
Hi Thomas,
Are you able to supply 5 of the speakers for a 5.1 music only set-up.
Shipping will be to the uk
Thanks
I can in theory send you 3 pairs. My only concern is shipping because in the USA, I am only charging $39 for shipping so it makes it a good deal. Shipping to the UK is going to cost an arm and a leg. Email me at thomas.tan@galion-audio.com and we can perhaps figure this out to see what is the best decision for you. I have set international shipping to $95 for now.
Those drivers look like from Dayton Audio. Personally I am not so sure about crossing that woofer at 5kHz and from the simulation it shows the drivers are not summing that well between around 2.2kHz to 4.2kHz. In fact that tweeter can be crossed much lower with no problem.
Tweeter looks like Dayton rst28f, but that's a good tweeter. Not sure about woofer. I agree that 5k is not optimal point for crossover. Woofer is going to be beaming a lot at crossover
I have been playing with crossover for over a year now and I also thought, how is it possible to crossover at 5khz, I get distortion trying to cross over at 3khz already with my other speakers. Well, this is what happen when a rocket scientist (literally) design a speakers, it might not make sense in theory but when I listen to it, I can't tell.
@@ThomasAndStereo I am currently still tuning the crossover of my DIY speaker after 2 years of listening, so I know what you mean 😄. Not only theoretically, practically it shows there is phase issue between 2.2kHz to 4.2kHz, that's why the drivers are not summing properly. If it's me, I will not cross higher than 3kHz. BUT if you like what you hear, that's what it matters. 😉
@@cpaint69 Thanks, yup I personally cross my speakers at 2khz. However, none of the speakers I worked on have a midrange like this one. That is why I put the 10 other speakers that are developed for me by professionals on hold.
@@ThomasAndStereo crossover has nothing to do with distortion. Such a high crossover point will impact directivity, or sound dispersion. Woofer will have narrow dispersion at 5k, and when tweeter takes over, it will have wide dispersion, so it's a mismatch. Also like someone mentioned, at high frequency drivers go out of phase easy because of short sound waves and comb filtering. For example, two tweeters is generally not a good idea. Some tweeters just can't be crossed low enough, but Dayton rst28f is super happy at 2k crossover
Is the XSA Audio Vanguard the same product?
Yes, I have listed it on my website explaining that. I bought of all their stock.
Thomas is there a trial period with the New Voyager ?
Yeah, it is 2 weeks so people can be sure if this is the right speaker for them.
@ThomasAndStereo That's Great Thomas '
you should pair it with abamboo stands
Smart, I think Tri-Art has some!
We audiophiles love heavy amplifiers. The heavier the better.
This is true true true 😂
If ordered do these ship directly from China? Also I see these are 83dB, though you did say they need power so I guess you’re acknowledging they are demanding of power.
No, they ship from the USA so there is no customs if you are in the USA. They do need power to reach louder volume but they are easy to drive in the sense you will still get good dynamic contrast, good control of the bass drivers and no compression even if you don't have a powerful amp. They worked well on my desk with a 30w tube amp.
Based on your review/ comments its a "Very Impressive Speaker". However, how does it sound at low listening levels? How is its H &W off-axis performance? Is placement a problem/ critical?
Well you have to keep in mind this speaker sounds best nearfield on a desk so you are not playing at loud volume. As long as your volume is not too too low, it is ok. Off axis, based on measurement is normal. On my desk, I usually have it almost pointing forward anyways.
Thank you for your reply - much appreciated!@@ThomasAndStereo
Do you remember British AVI Neutron speakers?
No but I noticed it is a ported design.
No Harbeth P3ESR regular version?
I had 2 of them a while ago.
When does the TS A20 release?
I am just waiting for the casing. The problem is because it is made in Canada and I have to deal with multiple manufacturers and right now, the casing is what is holding everything back. I would expect 3 months-ish at this point.
It better be binge worthy to live up to the Voyager name, I love that show also. I own the Wharfedale Denton80th, I wonder how it compares to the TS Voyager..
My favorite Star trek series actually. Never listened to the Denton so I have no idea.
Can most of the screw hole be covered? It seems distracting.
The speaker grill will cover it.
@@ThomasAndStereo Understand that but most of us listen without grills and having so many holes in bamboo finish is, for me, not so aesthetically pleasing. Just my opinion.
Nominal impedance 8 ohms? How low does it go?
About 7 ohm.
You gonna hawk the class a amplifier too?
Ah, that one is taking a lot of time because it is build in Canada and I need to coordinate with 5 different companies, unlike China, I can just deal with one company.
Voyager is a great name for a speaker! Because being a music lover is a journey not a destination :)
oh, very deep.
That looks like a Rst28F tweeter
I'm i correct?
13:56 …Bryston..warranty…20 years
can detail and musical coexist? they are not enemies I assume
Sure, the 1 million dollar system I recently made a video on definitely is both detail and musical.
@ThomasAndStereo in the future, maybe review a system that can do both at the lowest price possible.😃
Is the version available today still made from bamboo?
Yes! But I now have a better SE version.ua-cam.com/video/T198GEXChS4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Tee-JayTheStereo-Bargainphile
@@ThomasAndStereo I'm not sure the new version is "better" for my situation. I'd be using them with OB bass enhancers that include a crossover. The signal to the speakers is 100hz and above. Don't need the extra bass of the SE. It's the LS3/5A design brief of the original that has me interested.
Your speaker looks exactly like the XSA Vanguard speaker bamboo and all ?
Yes it is the XSA Vanguard designed by Dr. Viet, I guess I did not explain it well in the video but on the purchase page, I explained it.
@@ThomasAndStereo I should learn how to read. Thanks for the info
Ok, I would definitely buy a Thomas speaker, not even listen first.
Ah, given it is a niche market product, I allow people to try it for 2 weeks because I respect the fact that we all have different taste. This is definitely not for Focal fans. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
i assume the price is 849 each, was not clear enough on website.
It is $849 a pair! Let me fix that.
@@ThomasAndStereo that is a saucy price :)
It is a sign!
Nice affordable price for people who love MUSIC !@@ThomasAndStereo
Send me a pair, I’d be interested to give them a listen.
Yup yup! Let me get the transmission line version too and I will send you both.
@@ThomasAndStereo Perfect.
Congrats on the new product!
Question - would you consider an ultra-efficient, higher impedance co-axial? This would be able to serve a wide range of tube amps
Ideal would be 97 db, 8 ohm “MoFi SourcePoint 10”. Would need a sub for base, but those are cheap
None for now. One thing I learned, it is so hard to develop speakers. Amplifiers and preamps are way easier.
Thanks for the fast reply! Really looking forward to seeing your progress on the electronics side, and congratulations on all your success so far - best, Jonathan@@ThomasAndStereo
i think you said before i wrap it up 10 times lol. you say a more musical speaker isnt bombarding you with detail but you alsos ay a musical speaker has more detail in the midrange, kinda conflicting
Ah, the top-end detail is not the same as the midrange resolution. I should have been cleared about that. Usually, when you have a very revealing tweeter, the top-end detail can be quite impressive. The downside is some might not like it after 30 minutes.
@@ThomasAndStereo I thought it was something like this but just wanted a deeper elaboration on it for my own knowledge and for that I thank you. It’s also conflicting tho to say some might not like a more revealing tweeter after a certain amount of time. I find if a tweeter or speaker is more on the brighter end the more time you spend with that speaker in a certain listening session your ears will adjust toning down what seemed to be bright at first to more manageable listening. But this is just me tho I’d imagine other people would agree and I completely understand after so long with s brighter speaker it can wear on you in other situations.
@@daveycrockett5738 You are right some people will adjust, and some will not. That is why I always say, it really depends on each person and there is no right or wrong answer.
@@ThomasAndStereo exactly have a good night
I’m a big fan of yours Thomas…but…a one year warranty? Why would I buy a product with a dismal warranty, if you’re not going to stand behind it why would I buy it?
Thanks for the support. I thought one year is standard and it is a speaker, it should not break unless someone pushes the volume really loud. What is a good length for warranty?
@@ThomasAndStereo standard warranty for speakers is five years, some companies offer a ten year, the shortest I’ve seen is three years, I’m sure you already know this. A one year warranty is a deal breaker for me.
I see, I have changed it to 2 years because of you.
@@ThomasAndStereo ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkxTohKO7mg8-HQp-2V7iY_LqK2TrSqEeuu?si=j7Rq4ZGIuyRTnFvH
Only 15 day trial period and 5% restocking fee.
Yeah, I looked at what other companies are doing and that seems to be the average.
Thomas, it appears to me you just take on products that others had marketing failures with.
Oh no, they sold a lot. Look at some of the rave reviews they got, I have linked to them on the purchase page. I think they even got awarded "Product of the Year' on one of the websites. It is just because they have developed the transmission line version for me and I told them I love the sound of these small speakers and would love to have it under the Galion brand. The return rate on these speakers was less than 1% when they were selling them.
errr, where is the bass?😂
That old Proac is as far away from the LS3/5a as a ported speaker can be far from a sealed one with different dimensions and design philosophy. For a Proac speaker more akin (but better) than the BBC you should look at the Tablette 10 Signature. One of the last of the late Stewart Tyler designs it is magical in my opinion. Of course it is double the price of your speaker but still much cheaper than current BBC replicas whose stratospheric prices do not reflect their sound quality but are a product of marketing and myth induced demand.
Looks exactly like the vanguard spkr assembled by a vietnamese guy
Well that Vietnamese guy is the guy in this video.
@@ThomasAndStereo oh, ok. I only watched less than a minute. Will complete it when I have the time
Just tried to buy a pair, the captcha will not allow a human!
