Topic: CUSTOM SPEAKERS OF NIRVBKR, SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

[streetsmart]

Most welcome, a noble start up venture like Anthony's deserves all our support! If only I were wealthy, I would have funded it as a Venture Capital project!

Incidentally, one of my friends brought home from Australia a custom made speaker - Lenehan (you can search it on the internet) and it was also another Proac 1SC - killer, according to the reviews (seems this Proac is the benchmark for all bookshelf speakers), and also from my personal audition. I think Anthony's can beat Proac and this Lenehan side-by-side, in the right set-up and using the same reference system, which I wasn't able to do in my audition. For one, the amplification was low, and the space too tight to give it ample separation to truly assess its soundstage. But already, my first listen had me converted!

If you can bring an original Proac 1SC or a Lenehan, we can do a blind test. That will really be fun.

If anyone is brave enough (or just wants to have fun), pls bring your bookshelf speakers and we will match it vs Anthony's clones in a blind test.

Unfortunately, I sold my Proac 1SC in Singapore when I came back here. Let me see if I can borrow the Lenehan from my friend. Will bring my branded "Best & Winning" speakers for side by side compare.

Hi

What amp will be used for the listening test ?

[praktikal]

for a while medyo tahimik itong si diy_master/Anthony sa speakers perhaps due to other ventures/line but after the sub shoot-out at sa generousity ni sir Mark/streetsmart at kasama na rin ang support ni macdon, aba aba! mukhang apektado na ang bentahan ng branded speakers sa av shops ah 

mabuhay ang Pinoy! good thing about Anthony, hindi puro profit ang iniisip. mantakin n'yo, may punit ang surround ng isang driver ko, oorder na sana ako ng isang set pero may binulong s'ya sa akin mung sub shoot-out at danjajaran.... ayos na uli! that's Anthony amigos.

ot: parang gusto ko na ata magpakabit ng Hyper Torque

Great! I will also match my JBL XPL-90 bookshelf speakers vs the clones. The JBL's are very good.

pm mo nalang si sir anthony (@diy_master), mahirap pangunahan eh.

[CeeV]

[macdon]

So ano nga ang PRICE ng set of 5? 

Para ka lang bumili ng 1 pair ng B&W 602s3 

[john5479]

compute...compute... sulit nga if that's the price

[macdon]

When I was shopping around for my first pair of speakers, I auditioned alot of commercial speakers & even after I got what I wanted, I still continued to educate myself by auditioning some more. When it came time to shop for my 2nd audio speakers - i looked beyond the commercial offerings and hiked my budget to the likes of Proac, Rogers, Harbeth, Von Schweikert, etc. I must admit that the above brands really sounded different & in my subjective opinion, was better sounding than the ordinary commercial offerings we see around. But of course, they were also expensive.

Anthony's interpretation of a mid-end speaker at just the price of the cheapest commercial speaker is really something to celebrate about. Whether its 80-95% of the sound, we should consider ourselves lucky that these even came to fruition Ang swerte talaga ng mga pumapasok palang ngayon sa HT or audio - sayang lang at walang ganito when I was starting out

Regarding Anthony's new FS speaker, I think it would be better to comment after the EB this coming Saturday........however, if the new FS has any indication of his clone speakers, then this certainly is a winner.
If this speaker was slapped with a branded logo and sold for more than 100-150k and after hearing it, we could probably reason out its pricing. But what if you learned that you could have it for just 10% of its selling price?

Honestly, those stores selling branded speakers have now a reason to be scared

[anchit]

we will see this weekend. Pero ako nakaline up na kukuha ng current set up ko para sa nagbabadyang pagpapalit.ü

I finally had the good fortune of having 1 of these babies last night, and as bro Macdon said, we should consider ouselves lucky that these even came to fruition. Indeed, without somebody sharing his own Proac to use as reference, and Anthony's skills and experience to match, this wouldn't have been a reality!

Everything in my earlier reviews about these speakers are confirmed, within my own listening room and now, I can comment on soundstage and imaging - and I could say "they image superbly!" These speakers have the ability to just disappear, one positions clearly each sound where they originate, in an expansive and realistic soundstage.

But the most defining characteristic of these speakers (which has also been said of the original Proac 1SC) is their openness and clarity, as if there is absolutely no "veil" at all when listening to them, the singer, the instruments, are just there, in plain view (or hearing).

About bro Macdon's comment na "sayang walang ganito" when we were starting - while I share the same sentiment, I guess we couldn't reach this pinnacle of achievement if we didn't go through what I believe was a necessary learning process, each step (and hardware) an important piece of this process.

That was my impression too. 

Anthony has delivered a new center speaker. 4 woofers this time. I will set it up and calibrate this evening. We will use whatever sounds better in my HT. Exciting again. 

[praktikal]

4 woofer center? aba aba 

[jerix]

There is one problem with Anthony's DIY speakers --- it will kill your itch to upgrade for a long time. I got his 5.1 speakers in 2004 and until now I still am very satisfied. The good thing however, I can realign my budget to some other thngs.

kung MMTMM ang alignment ng best if it is oriented vertically.

"In every case where we measured a center channel speaker with redundant horizontal drivers we were able to improve the smoothness of its horizontal frequency response in that range by reorienting the speaker vertically." - http://www.audioholics.com/education/loudspeaker-basics/vertical-vs-horizontal-speaker-designs/conclusion-rankings-and-evaluation.html

Thanks for the reference to the Audioholics article. I have been thinking about this exact issue for the past week. The problem is comb filtering.

Let me try it out both ways.
