Title: Ichillpill's Current and Old HT/Music Setups
Post by: ichillpill on Nov 09, 2008 at 09:20 AM
Here are my HT/music setups ... all GR-Research Speakers

I had these white GR-Research AV-3 speakers made back in 2006. It is from http://www.gr-research.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=116 (http://www.gr-research.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=116)

They are much better than the following speakers that I've listened to Klipsch RF2, B&W 603, JBL S series, Paradigm Studio 100's. The only difference between the AV2 and AV3 are that the AV3 are the floorstanding version and are 8ohms. I soldered the crossovers myself and had someone make the cabinets. Check out the website for more info http://www.gr-research.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=116 (http://www.gr-research.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=116)

There are a bunch of REVIEWS on the internet

http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=14062.0 (http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=14062.0)

I am actually selling the AV3's actually in the for sale section. http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=87731.0 (http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=87731.0)

If anyone has any interest in a DIY kit I highly recommend GR-Research. Danny Richie designed the kit and is the owner of GR-Research. He also took part with the Usher Tiny Dancer, and many AV123 speakers from www.av123.com (http://www.av123.com)
There are other kits availble but I ordered these as it fit my budget and rivaled commercial speakers <$2000. Because these are kits all parts are included from the drivers, capacitors, inductors, solder, internal speaker wire, wire rubber sheaths, schematic diagram of how to assemble the crossover, and the plans for the cabinets with exact specifications. All that is lacking is the wood :) www.audiocircle.com  (http://www.audiocircle.com) has many DIY kits from different stores. PM me so I can help you out if you like to get into DIY

welcome to pdvd! :D

The left and right speakers are the same actually! Depending the on how much light and the angle in which light hits the speaker, the color can change from a glossy black, dark purple, dark red, dark green, and dark gray. Automotive paint was used to achieve this.

The speaker on the left looks dark gray while the one on the right has a tinge of green...

Nice DIY set-up!

Yup that's an SVS 20-39pci next to the LF. Goes a little bit deeper than a 25-31pci but a little less output.

The 3 LCR's cost me in about $700 in parts and $500 for the labor and cabinets...so about $1200. They are the GR-Research AV2 http://www.gr-research.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=102 (http://www.gr-research.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=102).
