    The W-King D8 bluetooth speaker (budget boombox) tested for sound differences with the grills on and off. That’s side grills of the W King D8 and the front grill over the tweeters and woofers.

    Softened the texture in high frequency tape reel noise amplified by D8's EQ mode playing a CD file of a live recording of Count Basie's "Prime Time" song connected to D8's 3.5mm AUX and my 2010 MacMini headphone out. The noise change came by setting Mac OS utility app "Audio MIDI Setup" headphone out to 24 bit. Had it set at 16 bit.
    Because the D8 is so loud I can here this detail more than on my headphones where I have to set the volume in the middle, but on the D8 I can max out the Mac's output volume (0-db according to Audio MIDI Setup readout) and adjust volume on the D8. I don't use Bluetooth. I'm an audiophile so I love what I can do remastering songs through the D8 because of its up front loud sound stage in EQ mode. The D8 handles the severe ear piercing high frequency peaks in trumpet screech artist Maynard Ferguson's "La Fiesta". I thought I was going to tear the D8 tweeters but its (I'm assuming) built in compressor handled it very well.

    Purchased the W King after 2 weeks of reviewing speakers. You had me just about convinced to go with the motion +, but after lookin at all my options & the fact I'm gonna use the speaker on my Kawasaki, Vulcan motorcycle, i went with the louder choice.
    Will let you know next week how it does.
    I'm guessing / hoping i will get at least 100 + decibels with the W King system.
    The $100 dollar hard wired, handel bar mounted speakers didn't cut it. I'm thinkin the carrying strap will fit over the wind screen and it will rest nicely on the handle bar, maybe add some heavy duty velcro to the underside if need be.

      @@alanrossreviews I'm always curious about what the rare hi-fi-head with a deep knowledgebase and a knack for verbosity has to say about those particular speakers just because I'm in the likewise rare category of schmuck who just happened to luck into a pair of them for literally... well, nothing! That said, I view them like God personally made them for me since I couldn't be more impressed with the features, sound quality, a properly solid build and just imo most importantly: they practically laugh at me when I think I'm about to 'put them through a little hell for a bit here' and then neighbor-relations become much more relavent far sooner than any thought of having taken those speakers far beyond any reasonable upper limit and well into the speaker afterlife [when using the sub-out for the record]. Just nice to have that lofty opinion without the pride factor weighing in heavily due to that price tag they have.

    After further testing with the Aux input line being used the pair will not transmit to the remote "stereo" speaker which is kind of stupid. If you set this pair up for in-house entertainment and want a 100% reliable connection, then you would obviously use the Aux line in and not bluetooth like most stereo systems. That's means you lose the pairing stereo advantage. I tried it several times and as soon as the Aux is connected the second speaker cuts off.

    My mind has always been blown over such tight and small speaker hole grills. It appears more solid than open by observation. I think of a sound wave as propagating out of the driver in a uniform and smooth fashion. If that sound wave hits a perforated cover, seems like it would break apart into tiny waves trying to squeeze thru the tiny holes in the cover like water would do in drips. Seems like the change would be dramatic. I guess you proved that theory wrong or the human level of hearing can't perceive such changes anyhow. Pro speakers usually do not obstruct the drivers but of course this application is for the protection of the drivers.

    • @alanrossreviews

    I agree with your opinion on the w-king. I received one today and have been listening to it. I don't like the bass, if some indistinct thud thud noise is considered bass. I happen to listen at low volume and the low noise (bass) overpowers the rest of the sound. I think they use the wrong cross-over frequency for this speaker. Any recommendation, other than the Tribit, for low-volume listening?

  • @kokolorenz
    @kokolorenz 4 роки тому +1

    There is one feature of the W-King, which you obviously didn't realize: If you're not using it on max volume level, you can extremely adjust the bass level through the relation between sound source volume and speaker volume: E.g. if you set your music player on 30% volume and the speaker on 100% volume, you get the described big bass. But if you set your music player on 100% volume and the speaker on 30% volume, you get much less bass. This way you can adjust the bass level exactly to your taste. This feature works on using with cable/aux as well as with bluetooth, also with bt stereo link.

    However I have found a very annoying problem.
    If i am listening to music on one of the speakers & someone turns on the other speaker, the first speaker just totally freezes.
    You can't connect to it or turn it off or anything. You have to let the battery totally drain away & then re-charge it.
    After this it works fine again until someone turns on the other speaker.
    If I turn them both on together & link them they work fine, but if one is already on & then you turn the other on it messes up & freezes.

I also very easily removed the straps by separating at the joint in the metal clasp using pliers. I slid the strap right off on each side in a minute or 2. You can also put them right back on again.

    Hi Alan. Best video about these speakers. Great job. Tell me, do speakers improve with use just like headphones? Will the D8 sound different after a lot of use?

      thats the 24 thousand dollar question! :) its likely to change but better? i really dont play it anywhere near enough to know the answer. anything with moving parts will change over time, its physics, and as for the electronics some believe in burn in others dont. personally i believe in changes to the sound over time rather than saying it gets better.

    Update: I have received (2) D9s. They are louder, no distortion at max vol with way less boominess than the D8. Woofers are much larger to handle the max power. I only play mine outdoors at max volume with virtuoso trumpet (me) and these are fantastic for that cause. They seem very well balanced. I hope A. Ross can analyze these soon. Still probably not for indoor critical listening but I'm still breaking mine in, they might get even better. Got mine 30% off which was a steal. I'm sure the passive single woofer that is oddly rectangular and quite large has something to do with controlling the boominess. Seemed to be really tuneful and pleasant at max vol.

The silver grill one is also a bit brighter and on EQ2 mode can get harsh at louder volumes.

So does this mean the main drivers have been upgraded possibly to 25? It doesn't reveal that the amp has been upgraded. But if peak power is 70 then the woofers should be able to handle the peak with less distortion. My book states the BT is only 4.2 however the new one states 5.0. The fine print usually states that they can change the specs at any time without notice.

I am inquiring with the company if the frequency response has been changed in this new version v1.1 ... the Stormbox tribit has the most convincing bass, at least up to medium volumes ...however sound clarity in the mids, in the highs, and the great soundstage, is perfect for me, for my ear it is the best of all the speakers I have tried ... but the bass so little present really shocked me.... and to think that initially I was afraid of having to often use an equalizer to lower the bass ... for now exactly the opposite has happened ...
