Hej
This is a little story about The Loudspeaker, have now used it for about
6 month.
In many ways it is the best speaker I have build, and this is because of
the way this speaker gives me the feeling of real live music.
Take the 18” bass driver, it plays bass only when there is bass in the
music, in the beginning I wondered why there was so little bass, compared to my former
speaker (GR Research LS9).
But when there suddenly come deep notes from the record, the house is
shaking…and another thing that make me wonder, it gives me very little
trouble with the room.
Normally my LS9 gave to much bass where I have to place my speaker
(regulate the area from 100Hz -6db in my Jriver program)
this is not required with the 18”.
Voices is very good, easy to understand the word from singer. Tweeter
must be really good, acoustic guitar sound so nice and clear,
haven't heard this before.
And one of the really good thinks for me, the speakers give big sound,
fill the hole room with music, An Evening with Godsmack on DVD ..when
you first have heard this on big speakers, you'll newer return to small
2 ways, quietly music like 2 guitars with-- Magna Carta: Ticket to
the Moon DVD —sound really good.
Is there nothing bad I can tell about the speaker? Yes there is,
bad records sound terrible, it is mostly the lower horn that tell this
record is bad. But that is OK, just play at lower level. Do I need to
tell... dynamics are just second to none.

Troels Gravesen, April 2019:
A couple of weeks ago I made a visit to Bjarne, and I have to admit I
hadn't heard what
The
Loudspeaker could really sound like in a proper sized room. Bjarne
has a 50 sqm living room and I would have sworn the left speaker would
have problems being stuck in one corner. It didn't! And I don't have any
good explanation for this except the room size may pose optimal acoustic
properties where room-nodes don't at any point become dominant.
Bjarne first tried the Hypex version but eventually settled on the fully
passive version - and run by some 1000 rock solid Gryphon watts I've
never heard anything like it. It was mind blowing!
Thanks Bjarne for taking the time - and to your wife for some delicious
sandwiches and cake.
