Re: Leviathan System

Then you are rocking....Excellent!

Yep that's the DAC I currently have. I really like it.

Thanks!

Just came across this build. Impressive ...

I was wondering is you looked at the Goldwood GW-65/8 for the mid. Any comments as compared to the GRS?

No, those are the GRS sealed back mids. I build JR's LSS speakers with them and I really liked the sound of them, so I used them as mids. IIRC 2500Hz or so crossover point and 500-600Hz on the low end, because they're sealed backs. They were fully active (been sitting in storage for over a year now) so I changed the x-over points several times, but I think that's where they were crossed in JR's LSS speakers, you'll have to ask him, I've long since lost the PDF on them.

Thanks for the compliments! I really enjoyed them when I was using them, they're just too big haha.

I just happened to have the LSS PDF handy - it says 600 and 4K.

The Goldwoods are sealed backs as well and look identical and likely are drop-in replacements (the GWs spec 5.25" outer diameter but measure 5.13" like the GRS spec). I'm using the GW-65/4 in a 2.1 boombox. I used the GWs because I couldn't find a graph on the GRSs and the Goldwoods go up to 10K hz (albeit with some dips and spikes between 6K and 10K). I have a 2nd order L-R HP at on the GWs at ~1K because of the impedance and SPL at 475hz.e

I've used and measured both. The GRS are much better drivers imo. Though they do look very similar there are differences. Mounting size they are essentially the same. Audibly, the GW fall short.
