Some have asked me about the sunglasses I am wearing in this video, they are cheap and from Amazon: amzn.to/49WjOvv
Today I talk about these new speakers from Thomas over at Galion Audio. These speakers were designed to be a smooth operator, the opposite of most audiophile type of speakers. These speakers have a big full bass as well as a rich midrange. The top end is smooth and while some may feel they sound dark these little guys can really rock you out of the room with power.
These make music, they will make you move. They do not sound airy, holographic or 3D but rather they sound like real music. I have been listening to these non stop for the last few weeks and I just love them. These will stay in my collection for future reference.
While these speakers are not like most, they are affordable and come in at around $1200.
Enjoy!

@SteveHuffHiFi, how does it compare to Wharfedale Linton 85th anniversary or Buchardt S400 MKII or Dynaudio Special 40 speakers? Thanks!
They are not audiophile speakers but they make music sound like real music? What does that say about audiophiles? 😀
@@cremersalex personally I am only a musicfile. Audio is important but it is not music 😊.
I’m still listening to the Voyager TL. This morning I hooked up the Burson Voyager which is their flagship head amp. It happens to also have a remarkable preamp (bests the pre of the Forte Axxess and a Pass Labs XP10 I have). The TS A 75 amp is the best mate I have here for the speakers. With this amp there is actually some slight 3D action happening with remarkable warmth. Lovely. With the Brunoco tubes it’s warmer still. But wow this Burson is amazing as a speaker pre. Even has a sub out. I’ll review the TS A75 soon. Giant killer? Well, depends on the giant. With that said it’s a $1500 power amp that really hangs with some much more expensive amps I have had here. More soon.
It looks like Thomas is really focusing on producing very high quality products that sound great at very reasonable prices. That is fantastic! Good for Thomas!
Great value for the money. 100%. See the sound demo I just posted if you like!
Where is "here"? In what state do you live?
I don’t broadcast where we live due to a stalker issue I had 6 years ago. We were in the 70s for 5/6 days in mid Feb. usually it’s around 5 in mid Feb.
fu.....k yes, black metal
James currently has these speakers, the galion ts120 and his SS amp too. James brought over the galion last night. Thomas has made some smart decisions with the products he is choosing to put on the market.
Nice. But would the Epos 7n or even the Fisher Fisher be a step up 🤔
The best speaker until next time ugh
This is not in any way “the best speaker”. Maybe you didn’t watch the video. Never said this was “the best” of anything. The best doesn’t exist. It’s all about personal preference. This speaker is for those who love warm, smooth midrange centric sound. As I said in the review. Those who value airy highs and a wide open sound will hate these speakers. I never say anything is "the best" because we all have different tastes. That's why speakers like this exist. They are different from the wide open, see through clear sound that most higher end speakers offer. With that said, I haven't heard a speaker like this one before. Not for everyone, but some will adore them just because they are so musical. Not for analyzing, but for listening. Thanks.
He's a reviewer FFS. Of course there's going to be a next one.
LOL'd to myself - "no reason at all for me to listen to/ or consider them because music is not my Passion, but rather just enjoyment from time to time, like going to a concert". Also, I betcha in one to six months (+/ -) there will be another Speaker that will come along and beat them/ must hear (its the nature of this hobby)
In six months there may be something different but these will still sound like they do now which is fantastic.
Are they warmer than the buchard 400 2
Thanks for the great videos
Yes
You dont play any song to ear them?????
And about a side by side?????
I found my goal only active speakers of Nubert XS-4000 RC
are the right one for my room ❤ thanks for the video
Thank you!
I just went through this with a pair of expensive speakers. tried every trick in the book to get them to sound right. Back to the special 40s. Sounds like a good match with something like an Atoll or Belles integrated amp.
Sometimes pricey speakers can be a disappointment. They focus more on the details, transparency, etc. These focus on the music. The special 40's are AWESOME! Keep enjoying them!
Great video! Very interesting speakers 🤔. Love your channel. Your production is awesome!
Thank you!
Very interesting how your voice sounds exactly the same inside and outside, despite the totally different acoustic environments.
It is indeed. Outside I just use a DJI osmo pocket 3 with its built in mic. Don’t even use the wireless though I have it.
Good review Steve. Do you think they would benefit by the addition of a subwoofer? Perhaps the REL T7?
I have the little brother Galion TS Voyager desktop speakers. Very musical and non fatiguing. They are meant for close range listening (placed on my work desk at home so they are 3 to 4 feet from my ears). I listen to them at low to mid volume so not a big benefit to add a subwoofer, but I did, a small REL subwoofer (T Zero MKIII) to get the lower frequencies, 50 to 80 Hz. Though musical and satisfying without a subwoofer, the addition of a small sub completed the musical experience (REL T Zero MKIII). Not a floor shaking sub, but fits the application.
These will not need a sub. I have a couple of subs here but never even wanted to hook one up. The bass here is plentiful but not overdone.
@@HiFiHuff No sub needed. That is sweat! Thanks Steve.
That was a joy to watch Steve. I have to say, your home also looks like such a zen space to live. I have had these speakers for a while as well, I agree with EVERYTHING you said. cheers sir. love your videos.
Thank you! It is why we moved here 3 1/2 years ago. It's total zen, peace, quiet, serenity. Wildlife every day .... only thing is the winters are not so hot. Cold, gets dark at 4 o'clock, etc. Spring, summer and fall though. wonderful. Keeps me centered for sure. I am happy you are enjoying these as well!
@@HiFiHuff which state is this, if you don’t mind sharing?
I got your answer, you don’t share where you live due to previous stalking issues. Understand and don’t blame you. 👍
Dig the shades! What brand and style?
No clue, came with the house when we bought it over three years ago. They go all the way to the floor which I like.
@@Moonplant432 lol hahaha. They are dirt cheapies from Amazon… link… amzn.to/49WjOvv
Exactly how many acres are you on?
20
How do you think they would match with the Galion tube integrated?
Wonderfully. The Galion TS120 is a fantastic tube amp with some sparkle up top. That sparkle helps to open these up more, much like the Brunoco does. I think these sound great with tubes and my fave combo is with tubes. So I'd say these would sound great with the TS120. With that said, I do not have a TS120 here but remember it well. Also, I am sure Thomas tested it with his amp. Should be a natural match. These are rated to 50 watts.
Thanks, man.
@@HiFiHuff
you can't possibly be running the stock stereo in your bronco? any hints on what have you done with it?
It's not that bad - The 2023's came with a Sub (this is not the L:UX package B&O) so 10 speakers here. Better than my last Jeep that had the Alpine package. I do not do any kind of critical listening in the car so I am 100% good with what is there. NOW...if this were a 2022 I would have not even bought the truck. Same as the 2024 Jeep Wrangler stock system which is awful. The sub helps just enough.
@@HiFiHuff I have a 2022 2dr and I bought it specifically without the lux package because I knew I couldn't live with it and I'd have to upgrade.
Thx for the response.
Thanks! Mine (at 1800 miles) developed a slight balance issue. Wheel vibrates between 50-65 - Taking it in next week. Other than that I enjoy it. @@bc5299
These look like a PMC speaker.
Thanks
Which speaker is better for Late Night Listening? The Ogy’s/BOB or the Voyagers?
Totally different sound. 100% opposite ends of the spectrum. The OGY and BOB units are wide open, transparent, 3D, etc. these are subdued, smooth, warm and great at low volume. The OGY and BOBs are as well but they sound absolutely noting alike. Think of the OGY and BOB as a holographic, clear, transparent wide open sound with fantastic bass. Without the BOB there is almost no bass with the OGY. Maybe a tenth of what the Voyager has. With the BOB they are one of my favorite speakers. Both do wonderful for low volume listening though.
Blame it on the preamp. Where's the matching preamp.
Blame what on the preamp? There is no matching pre. It be tested this amp with three preamps now. Best sounding for me by far is the Burson Voyager which is class A head amp and pre.
@@HiFiHuff Would the WIIM Pro Plus streamer/preamp be a good match? If not, blame the bad sound on preamp.
I am using a dedicated preamp here not the WIIM and these do not sound bad at all, they sound AMAZING as I stated again and again. I use the Axxess Forte 1 as an ore as well as a Pass Labs XP10 and a Burson Voyager. The WIIM is just sending the data to a Denafrips DAC. But not sure why you think the sound would be bad? Just posted a sound demo BTW.
@@HiFiHuff I'm just saying if the amp did not sound to your expectations, just blame the preamp. I like the multi band EQ of the WIIM, so this preamp should correct most any systems sound?
Hi! Can I ask again if there is a review the Galion TS A75 amp coming up ?
Yes for sure. Listening to it now with the Burson voyager as the preamp. Quite remarkable with the Voyager speakers. Opens them up even more yet they remain warm and meaty. But I’ll have a review of the amp in the next 2 weeks. Have to listen with other speakers still.
If you ever get the chance to listen to the Monitor Audio Silver 100 7G, I'd be very interested in your review.
I own a couple and love them, but I'm always interested in what the HiFi people I respect, like you, thinks of them :)
I’ve heard quite a few monitor audio speakers. About 20 years ago I owned some Gold towers. Don’t remember the model number but I enjoyed them for about 3 years.
Sounds like they are not very good me.
They are awesome. If you want thin, wide open transparency, lifted treble then no, these will not do. If you want musical, soulful, depth...they are amazing. See the sound demo I just posted. Thanks.
Very nice
Thanks for watching!
@@HiFiHuff - Watch everything =) Comment to help the support.
Im hoping to hear some of the Galion stuff again in Montreal when I go over for the Audiofest. =) I had the TS120 here for a bit .. that was great.
Im looking forward to a demo with the TA75 eventually too. I have a feeling I'd love the amp more than a laid back speaker.. Im one of those HF types.. bass doesn't impress me.
Where this stand between the Ogies and Daniel hertz?
Totally different speaker. These are not anything like those. These are a touch subdued, warm, thick, meaty and have great bass. Daniel Hertz EVA (which are now $7k bookshelf) are way more open, holographic, and have more treble energy with a tighter bass. Different kind of vibe.
Holographic? End game?
The opposite of that. Who said they were Holographic? Or end game? These are warm, smooth speakers that sound different from most speakers on the market. As I state clearly in the video (you should watch it) these are not about transparency, holographic imaging, etc. These are $1200 and well worth it as they are supremely musical. If you like that vibe, these are worth a look. I posted a sound demo just now and there three more in the members area with acoustic, rock, and heavy metal. I hear few Hologtrahic 3D pieces but when they come in, I always mention that. 1/3 of the gear I get goes back without a review. Why would I review gear I dislike? Not worth my time. In regards to these they are killer for the Money. I cant think of any other $1200 speaker I would prefer. Have a great day ; )
Sniff sniff, I'm an ignorant self proclaimed audiophile!
What are those speaker cables with the orange boxes on them?
They are the earth cables from Kinki Studio. BTW, I love the cables. They are quite a lot like those $3k cables we see but cost a fraction of that. Sound is lovely.
1200 I'm out
