Cheaper but is it Better Than JBL and Klipsch Horn Speakers ? Size is NOT Everything.

Yo. I'm back

Did you really start by saying that Beatles recordings are badly produced?

..I upgraded to Apple Music... and wow, just wow.

Apple Music with Spatial Audio (surround sound music via Dolby Atmos) is a night and day improvement.

Spotify 2-channels is like home theater in the 90s with 2 front speakers or DVDs, whereas Spatial Audio is like today's home theater with 13 speakers and Dolby Atmos/DTS:X and 4k physical disc movies. It's a night and day improvement.

I compared the song 'Senorita by shawn mendez and camila cabello' in Apple Spatial Audio versus 2-channels Spotify and it was a night and day improvement.

In my Corvette with Apple Carplay (and an aftermarket wireless Apple Carplay adapter from Amazon), Spotify now sounds so so so bad (sounds like a cassette as if there's a blanket over my speaker) versus Apple Music's clarity and dynamic range. I didn't know what I was missing!

The song with the most night and day difference is: Y Volvere by Lucero (female vocalist). In Spotify, there's a lot of crackling noises because Spotify can't capture the full wavelength, whereas there's no crackling in Apple Music and the notes are higher.

Size is not everything? You need to talk to my wife.

I have the sh8b and love them best sounding speaker I’ve heard

I laughed for at least 30 seconds when you said size is not everything and then said being serious that came out wrong. LOL It was you being serious that made me laugh. LOL

Did you bring it off the back wall at least 1.5 mtrs?

First time watcher. You're a piss'a 🤣. Subscribed 👍

Chinese made speaker look pretty but they sound awful

I would call that ‘wave guide’…. Not even like a horn

$880 ok. Shipping???

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

sell my those

Will you tell us about the Lumina II you recently acquired? Just bought a pair. Lovely.

GR Research could fix these speakers.... don't give up hope now.....just think ahead to your new new speakers.....no res, good banana plugs , more and better caps etc... congratulations on your GR Research review, you maintained cool head and let Ole Chopper have at it.

This review is lol. Anyone who buys these speakers after watching this review deserves to have bad speakers. Or should I say... deserves to have more orange, kind of toy looking, kind of fake looking speakers.

OMG that emotional damage meme was GOLD

Yo, Jay, I think i speak in the name of many other when I say this. Please make a tidal/spotify playlist with your best tracks to test gear on. That would be great. I'm subscribed for 4 months now, I think, so if you already made something like this, please let me know. Thanks and keep up the great content!

Hey, Jay, curious about the decware, is it the ZMA? Can you believe the hype?

Send them to Kristi she'll love the bright color.

China. So a chunk of my money goes to support concentration camps. My late neighbor from Poland was sent to a concentration camp. Unspeakable The Han Chinese master race refuses to tolerate the uigher race from infecting them racially or religiously, just like the gypsies and jews in Hitlers camps. How MUCH HATE IS THAT ? I thought the world was past that BUT CHINA IS JUST GETTING ROLLING with over 350 such Camps with up to 2 million people. WTF IS THAT ?? My money is not going to feed that HATE AND DEATH.

Cheap Chinese junk always fails. Just leave it. But probably getting payed for this nonsense.

Wow honesty. I respect you for it.

Chinese counterfeits!!

Had already written off SA speakers after GR Research examination of the SC8B. Poor design, bracing, resonances, bad spectral decay, etc. I dont think they are serious speaker makers. They seem to copy ideas of other speakers but poorly implement them.

Brave man buying anything from them. The R8 is the only thing I would touch. So hit and miss!!

Can you make a speaker ranking Jay? Would be awesome!

WhatsApp Jay?
Where's Thujin?

why didn't you show us close up shots of the speakers? It would have been nice to see them but you almost didn't show them.

Was a bit hesitant to post a response, but here you go. I actually own these speakers for a year and I am quite happy. There are, however, some issues that can be considered as problems by some. The fact Jay indicates about the lack of base is very true, however, when the (quite crappy) crossover is replaced and an equalizer can be used for the input signal it handles bass very very well and I am quite sure it will go down to 28Hz (or at least enough for me, since I can feel the air and see the cone moving). The problem with mine was that there was some damage to the paint where the horn touches the cabinet, didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it to China so put a layer of olive wood veneer on it, and now they look even better. While the point Jay points out about true horns/compression drivers might be true, I think the solution they went for here works out very well and looks also a LOT better than Klipsch horns in my opinion. The next step will be changing the, probably also shit internal wires to OCC Copper, don't know if it will make a difference, but why not, in the rest of my cables it did.

Love your reviews, but this looked like a hostage tape :)

When does the Decware Review drop? Haha

But let’s see what Kristi thought…

Gr reseach says these are junk?

Good to see you back.Thanks for the review . What acoustic treatment are you using on your front wall now? Is it a lot better than the skyline style you had before?

Welcome back!

28Hz and 91db should ring some alarm bells.

Well Jay, from what your saying they appear to be a pile of RUBBISH

just say it, they suck!!!

Horn tweeters suck.

but was is the point to order speakers from china?

Send them to GR research! I think that sets up both channels for some really interesting interplay.

Hi Jay. Can you tell us more about the wall we're seeing behind the two speakers? 😅

A Denafrips Apollo review is on its way ...Size matters Heavyyyy :)

Send them to Danny Richie maybe he can “fix” it lol..

Is that the Denafrips Apollo?!

If Jay grew a beard, I might mistake him for Andrew Robinson in poor lighting. But if Tugen grew a beard, I would not mistake his voice for Mrs Robinson's. 😁
