I want to commend Ron and congratulate him on his channel. Deeply detailed and documented (i.e:speaker measurements) analysis of a component's sound - honest opinion. His in-room music playback demos (must see - different postings) are absolutely awesome, entertaining, auditory revealing and a first in KZread audiophile reviewing. Kudos to Ron 👍

I have these guys little brothers the Airmotiv T1+. Absolutely love them. Very easy to drive, Love the AMT's. I find my T1+'s very detailed, as you did the T2+'s. Mine pull double duty for movies, and music. They are awesome for both.

I picked up a pair of the original T1's on the clearance sale for $500. I have a few or so pairs of speakers that I'm always swapping out, and the T1's are absolutely the most surprising value of them all! If I could have this same speaker in a pretty piano gloss cabinet for $1000, I'd buy it right now!

I'm contemplating if a pair of T1+'s are going to be enough for a HT set up or if I should spend more for the T2+'s. My front stage is a 10' × 10' wall. I have two Klipsch R-12sw's. One front right. One rear left, because of my room situation. Anyways, with the entertainment stand centered the sub, the the T2+ I think it'll stick out of in the hallway which doesn't pass the wife test. So I'm torn between the T1+'s and T2+'s.
I have the TZeros with 2 subs. Perfection to my ears. Goodbye Klipsch.

Concise and precise! Thank you for the effort of showing those nice graphics and not dragging it endlessly (15 min or more) like some who appear to be in love with the sound of their own voices!
According to Stereophile's measurements, these hit -6db at about 28hz and -10db at about 25-26hz, so they have some useful response down into the mid 20s, which is pretty impressive. I'm curious about how these stack up to the Prime Pinnacles. The ol' "order both and return one" auditioning method is a pain.

You probably made the better choice. However never ever believe what the specs say. Manufacturers have no rules when it comes to specs so they will list what they want. Some are honest some are not. Only way to tell extension or bass performance is listening to them in your room.
I replaced my 20+ year old AuraSound LSC-535M CC with the Emotiva C1+ CC around six weeks ago and I couldn't be more satisfied...absolutely love the clarity and detail in regards to vocals. It's also sealed and I was surprised by the mid-bass punch coming from the dual 5 1/4" drivers. I picked up the Emotiva BasX A3 amp a week ago and I'm very satisfied with it so far. I almost pulled the trigger on the probable last batch of T2+'s for the clearance price of $699 two days ago but I decided against it since I had already spent enough money :) . Loved this review...thanks.

Think we got a hell of a steal with those close out prices! I grabbed the T1’s and C1 early summer. Awesome speakers. Curious, how’d you make out with the crossovers on the C1? Sounds fantastic but was surprised it seems to fall off quickly under 100hz or so, audyssey wants it crossed over at 100hz. Being sealed is kind of nice though, I don’t need to worry about some equipment I have just behind it.
Great concise review. I owned the T2 previously. Your impressions very closely matched my own. You especially nailed it IMO when talking about not experiencing the 2-5k fatigue but could hear the zippy top. I also asked myself where the bass was. Decent speakers, they just weren't the right pair for me. I need to go back and watch all your other reviews!

@@joepokro4824 I personally did not care for the voicing. They had a very pronounced & murderous upper midrange around 4khz that made 2-channel music uncomfortable. I thought they were better suited for home theater. The bass was voiced more towards mid & upper bass than low bass. There wasn't much depth at all unless you heavily EQ'd it. The highs were actually really nice. Smooth, detailed, balanced, not overly bright. The drivers & cabinet were good quality. For music, a tube amp would be best. I would not recommend for heavy metal or electronic type music. Better for mellow or vintage music. I used a Cambridge Audio 540R V3 to power them which is 100w per channel solid state. I have upgraded since then to a Yamaha S-A801. I spoke to Eric @ Tekton, and he said the Pendragons would be more smooth in the 4khz range. He also said the new Dragonfly would be a good match for me.

Great review, Ron. I’m digging the new look of this vid. I actually recommended these speakers to a friend with a budget of around $1K based purely on good reviews like this one. He really loves how my Tektons sound too, so we’ll see. He’s also already got a healthy addiction to vinyl, which I started after giving him one of my old turntables and amplifiers. lol
ron. thanks much for the review. would be nice to mention comparisons on your reviews. would really give us, potential buyers, some idea of where speakers really stand compared to similar products. in this emotiva case....for example, how would you compare them to the Triange BRO8, Elacs unifi2 or Elac DFR52 (similar price) you reviewed?
Love the new art direction, Ron. Good stuff.
I own these. I found the higher hertz a bit much. I just moved them farther apart and that took care of the issue.

Thank you for having data as part of your review that’s great
These T2+ is a newer improved version of the T2. And the T2 were rocking already. These are the speakers to beat for the money. Theater and Music these are amazing. Imaging bandits too. These with their XPA-1 gen 2 amp monoblocks are great. My buddy is using a pair of McIntosh power amplifiers in a Bi Amp. Shazzam! These dance with the best. If I had the room. Instant buy. I use the Stealth 6 and Airmotiv 6s Emotiva and the XMC-1 processor and SVS SB13 Ultra. I use this setup for music and movies and editing my videos. Love the setup.
I run the T1+ and an Anthem 3 channel with a 12" sub which works well in my room.
What do you think of these vs the SVS Prime Pnnacles, for movies & music (jazz, hip hop, pop, funk)? Love how methodical you are. Instant subscribe for me! Cheers!

Can tell you 100% the Pinnacles are a better sounding tower across all ranges (more linear on graph). But they would also cost you $900 more. Some may prefer the ribbon tweeter of the Imotiva.
Thank you for the review. I have the Airmotiv B+, and those speakers are wonderfully balanced. Looking at the T2+, it seems that they need a crossover revision to account for the unbalanced treble extension.
I don't think there are many 2 channel audiophiles looking at Emotiva for speakers. They are known for their amps. The XPA Gen 3's are great for home theater and two channel music. Even reviewed by Stereophile. But I'm certainly glad somebody reviewed their speakers. Their prices are a great value. But Andrew Jones of ELAC has made this speaker pice range very competitive.
Great review. I love that you provide measurements and correlate with hearing experience!

Nice review. In my experience some cheaper ribbon speakers sound spitty and hashy. Occasionally though they just have long break in periods. I would think over time the top end will smooth out quite a bit. That said from your review I wouldn't expect this speaker to ever sound as refined as say KEF's or Sonus Faber's. Very nice review though. I'm a big fan of hurrying the break in of new speakers by facing them close to each other, wiring them out of phase, and cranking up the volume. That really helps.

Listened to a Pair of small Martin Logan slim bookshelves with the same style tweeter. I loved them. I fell in love with the ribbon tweeter right there. Quality and value wise, how does Martin Logan compare to Emotiva?
I've owned Emotiva from back in the day when made here, great stuff hard to beat at prices well above their asking price.
Ron, I'm enjoying your channel. I've been looking at these, the Triangle BR08s, and the Elac UF52s. I know you've reviewed them all and it seems like you enjoy the UF52s the best. I guess for under $1K, which one would you pick for a stereo setup that produces a warm tone, has good bass clarity and impact, and is detailed with excellent imaging?
Very nice video format/style. Concise, informative . I think these would be amazing for a 2 channel AV system, fireworks in the treble is a great when you don't have/want a center channel. Sometimes very hard to put a center channel .sound bar in a room with TV mounted on wall above a fireplace. This however can set either side of the fireplace and into the room a bit and look pretty decent, could always paint them to match decor ( I'd probably do an off-white).
Would have loved to hear those sound clips with T2+ but I guess they are not worthy? The speakers are gaining a lot of popularity right now and I think they should be given the same attention as the others given there are a lot of people out here that don’t have the budget for the high end stuff... just my 2 cents
Great review as always

@@gtric1466 Well Klipsch has an interesting reason to not use it for their RP line, not completely sure why. That's probably because they have a dip in the 1 -2KHz range(crossover point for the RP-160m, 600m etc...) Many people like it because they sound really nice with metal/rock or just noisy music in general. But I completely understand, I do kind of miss the midrange from my MA bronze 1's. But sacrificing it for the horn-loaded tweeter was definitively worth it. The problem with Klipsch speakers is that they really rely on your DAC/Amplifier. They're(RP-160M) unusable with my dad's Pioneer LSX-VX51 receiver. Way to bright and just sound thin (they do dig down to 30 - 32 Hz in that room). But here in my bedroom with my Hegel HD11 32-bit DAC and NAD D3045 they sound aboslutely incredible. Did my best to get some acoustic treatment in so bought a few absorbers and bass traps. Paired with the SVS PB-1000. Have the NAD's hp filter set at 40Hz and the subwoofer's lp filter sadly only goes down to 50 Hz even though the sub hits 17 Hz... Which is a big problem because the RP-160M's goes down to about 40 Hz so I get a pretty ugly peak between 40 - 50 Hz...

I actually emailed Danny and considering on sending him my T1+ towers.
I enjoy listening to your videos and have used LOTS. What I want to know is about the problems from sitting too close to speakers. Some say you need a certain distance for the sound coming from the various drivers to ‘merge’. Is there truth to this? What does it sound like if you are too close?
I have the Airmotiv T2's (not T2+) that I bought used. I am running a second gen Emotiva xpa-2 that i also bought used and I have a Denon AVR-X3500H that i'm using as a pre/pro. I noticed that you said that you found your T2+ to be easy to drive. My experience has been the polar opposite, the main reason I bought these is that I was wanting a punchier upper midbass than my old Paradigm Studio 40 V3's could deliver. I figured with four 8 inch drivers I coundnt go wrong, also since these are 4ohm speakers, so my XPA-2 should be able to deliver as much as 500 watts per speaker. Even with all that power I have these should rock the house - they dont. I mean they get loud, but they dont sound pleasing at all when loud. I ran the Audessy test many times and even futzed with the EQ setting a bit, nothing seemed to work. I know you cant troubleshoot my problems with this limited amount of info, but maybe someone can throw me a bone. Im starting to think that maybe the Denon and the XPA-2 arent matching up well ? Also I find the airmotivs fatiguing to listen to and i can never seem to get the treble "just right" . They do seem ok for home theatre but, at least with my setup ( which is probably the problem) , they dont seem that great for music. I really wanted to like these and I still havent given up on them, but is there something not too expensive i could buy ( covid has hit my wallet hard) to hook straight up to my amp and bypass the denon just to test if the amp could deliver more with a better matched pre pro? I assume an emotiva brand would be a good match but some of there processors gets mixed reviews. My older Paradigm Studio 40's Version 3 sounded much better except they couldn't deliver the punch I was looking for. Lets put it this way, I feel about as much upper bass effects from my brothers system and hes running two Polk T50's ($200 a pair) and two PSW10's. ..and its driven by a denon reciever that cant be putting out more than 75 watts per channel. If you have any suggestions or pointers i'd really appreciate it. Thanks for the video, there arent many of this model . I liked and subbed.

I’ve heard these and the original T2. They are highly refined Klipsch RF-7II’s; that’s how they sound. Replete with gaining over 14dB on-axis from 1.5k to 15k. YIKES. 😳 They are quite forward, but image well and don’t bite as often as you’d think. But they bite with anything but tube gear. It’s not ideal. They lean heavily on the low distortion of the tweeter, but the midrange gets kinda hard and dry at any moderate volume (is it going into breakup?). They are definitely not the speaker to beat under $1k. A solid option, but there are others as well. Sorry Ron. Love ya buddy.

Rick G Agreed. There are better options that don’t require that kind of EQ. My only concern is that the massive midrange dip, which would require significant additive EQ, is also a point of too much stored energy. So you literally can’t fix that. That’s still a massive midrange dip even if you flatten the treble hump. Not horrible, but not ideal.

Ryan, I have a pair of the 590's in my album/ streaming room, and they are my personal favorites of any speakers that I've heard at anywhere near 1000 dollars. Are there better ones that I've heard? Yes, but, they were 6 times the cost. They are a steal at a grand. I listen to a ton of electric guitar based rock, progressive, jazz fusion, classic rock, funky horn bands, etc. Check out Zeos' review on them, and believe ever positive thing about them. I'm a life long musician, and I've listened to top end monitors, both nearfield, mid, and large soffit built in, and heard many hifi systems the cost of some homes, and the only thing that I could say may be a negative with the 590, is some may find the size prohibitive, and some may not appreciate the aesthetics. Greg Timbers designed them, and they are a no BS, great speaker. For a grand??? No brainer.

The speaker is not on a pedestal, 20-30ft off the ground so they have to use a gated measurement to record the frequency response inside a normal room. I believe he said 4.5ms, which is about 200hz. A longer recording/measuring time could allow measurements below 200hz, but then that sound wave would have enough time to leave the speaker driver and bounce off the floor into the mic, messing up the results.

How are they 999, superior materials can be used because you only pay 20 bucks day for labor, that and online store so no large overhead for retail chain. The end consumer wins for best bank for buck.
Waterfall measurements is totally room dependent, and unless you have a SUPER great room acoustically treated I think do not make so much sense...

These are tower speakers, aka, stand height recommendation = 0" tall His power suggestion was enough, being that they worked well with both the IotaVX amp and the 15 watt tube amp.
I haven't heard them, but with that tweeter response my ears are already bleeding.

It's a shame really, a couple of more components in the crossover would flatten that rise out.

I’ve heard them. Mine are still bleeding. Not an awful speaker, but it’s basically a more refined Klipsch RF-7II in sound signature. Definitely on the forward and bright side of neutral. If you like that, these are solid.

Jaime I heard they are selling well also. If that’s the sound you like, avoid these. They’re not bad, but they’re definitely not for you.
