These speakers are absolute junk. Send them to me instead of back to the manufacturer and I'll take care of the rest. LOL

Great review, Ron!

Most people dont realize that the bass/lower frequencies can change the way we hear the higher frequencies.

Thanks! Fantastic review Ron. I've been waiting for the reviews to begin dropping on these in hopes that they lived up to the show hype they received. Looks like Andrew hit not only a home run, but a grand slam with these. So glad to hear about that smooth top end. I think I've found the upgrade from my current Q Acoustic Concept 50's! Keep up the great work!

I own these speakers. I’ve had many other speakers of higher cost. These are absolutely terrific. Ron, your reviews and your humble nature are appreciated. Top to bottom, these are extremely cohesive. You can not go wrong and the reviews like this are 100% on spot. I use Pass XA100.5’s with them; 200w pure class A. They also sounded amazing with my Audio Group Denmark Axxess Forte’ 3 integrated. I can’t wait to try them with some EL34 mono blocks.

One cool feature about this one is that it crosses over at 130 Hz to the base drivers. This means that you can implement Dirac live or other room correction (Lyngdorf, mini dsp, etc) as if these are subwoofers by adding two monoblocks directly to the woofers. Hello ganfet by Orchard. Then part of the crossover can be disabled. So you can feed only the coax drivers by a much smaller amp. Hello 300B SET. For the coax drivers the Crossover can be replaced by the one that gr research did for the source.point 8. Although, the 888 crossover is already way better than the one for the sourcepoint 8.
From some of the show reports, the 888 already performed superbly well. But I believe with the changes above, that it would be very hard to beat. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

John Hunter, from Rel, has a video showing how to set the gain on a sub. Basically, you don't listen to the base but instead, you listen for peak performance of mids and highs. I figured it would also apply to my bi-amped quad 15" woofers as well and I was right. My MTMs achieved a massive improvement when I tuned the base correctly (they were previously too hot).

Thanks for the very informative review.

On my system, these speakers sound closer than anything previous to them in matching my home setup. The in room response helped with the bass on the last couple of sound clips. The holographic sound stage is an important part of the presentation that I could hear a tiny bit of in the in room response, especially in the vocal reverb.

Sweet sounding speakers.

Great video! Learned a lot about the speaker. Very dry content presented in an entertaining way. I got nothing from the listening tracks, great section to thrift. Thank you!

Great review, Ron. The 888s are on my short list for my new house.

I had listened to them with Andrew! I hadn't known he would be giving a demo in person that day.

That Dominique Fils-Aimé album is stunning. If fact her entire catalogue of 4 studio albums is stunning, I can't choose a favourite.

I absolutely loved the comparisons. The 888's sounded amazingly beautiful 💜

i was thinking about that 130hz crossover point, there is some benefits with crossing over higher. those 70hz extra up to 200hz would have added some impact to the sound higher up. and made the crossover parts smaller, there are some huge coils involved the lower you go in hz, either lower the cost or used higher quality parts if you did so.
assuming no other
and the midrange would have even less bass to play.
that is my experience playing around with crossover from larger woofers to midbass drivers, 80hz to 300hz i have play around with. there is some magic happening when you let the larger drivers or larger cone area play higher up, assuming the cabinet and damping inside is up to the task.

Thinking on purchasing the 10s in the near future…good video without cutting anyone’s throat 😜👍🏻

This is why legendary speakers like the Kef 104/2 do exactly what the triples do…crossover at 150hz to their twin internal 8 inch paper bass drivers. It creates a magic midrange and pure music!!
