    Lenny, I know how much you love vintage audio and I am so glad that the manufacturers are making vintage looking gear. I think those speakers look awesome and that Accuphase is one of the most beautiful amps I have ever seen.

    Another vintage speaker design overseen by Peter Comeau. He seems to understand what most people love to listen to on relatively affordable speakers while staying somewhat faithful to the original models. Kudos to Sir Comeau. Andrew Jones & Comeau seem to be dominate in mass-produced speaker design for the majority of people. 👍🏼😎

    Comeau is a legendary speaker designer. He was the dude behind the Heybrook spks in the 80s. The Heybrook HB-1 was the budget spk that punched higher than what its price tag would suggest.

    There probably is some high frequency refraction from the metal edges of the speakers. Putting on the grills probably fixes that

    5/22/24 Lovem. Preordered the 250s thru Tom , thank Tom . I crank these with a 300w per ch Parasound zone master . In my opinion with my setup, it’s on the warm side, which I’m a fan of. Built like tanks . . . heavy like a tank too. Pleanty of base . There not burnt in yet so I’m curious to hear how they pan out. Se’an . . . NJ

    Another fun and informative video. Nothing wrong with a little unboxing content. I would compare the sandwich 250 with JBL L100 Classic and the Elipson Heritage XLS 15. When you ask how it sounds to us viewers, it’s really impossible to answer that, cause I’m listening on a pair of Philips Fidelio X2HR, so I guess the sandwich sounds just like my headphones 😉 Think these are the most beautiful speakers, I’ve seen in years. On another note, stay away from Yamaha amps, they are bright as hell…

    Yes, the sound will be affected by the headphones, and the KZread compression and the quality of your DAC. A great set of headphones will be quite revealing listening on a good DAC. You will be able to hear the difference of the speakers. I think a bigger is is the recording, a lot can be gained if JA would creatd a reference recording setup. Look at this kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXWWtLyIh9u8dMo.html

Sound quality is subjective and I think it sounds just fine. But I will say that having recently gotten two tube amps I can understand why some people totally bail on solid state.

Tube amps... yeah totally different animals, at least the true ones (hybrids not so much). Ironically it was my displeasure with the AS3000 sound that led me to try a Unison Triode 25 and i sold the 3000 as quick as i could after an A/B.

    I still have my JBL 4312 original speakers from 1983 when I was in the military. I have lugged these things around for 40 years. I have Martin Logan requests and Kef LS 50s and Klipsch 600Ms and by far my 4312s still sound better than any of them. They literally disappear and I have a full soundstage with precision and depth and wonderful base mid range and treble. It is hard to listen to any other speaker.

    H Guys love the video, love the interaction. If you really intend on making more tests listening to speakers on your vlogs, I suggest you work on some kind of a reference set-up/recording area. Use a good quality mic and fixed positions in the ideal triangle so viewers with good headphones can hear and compare differences. Listen to the guys at Alpha Audio and their reference set-up: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXWWtLyIh9u8dMo.html with some amazing recording and benchmarking going on.
