It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since we first tackled the intriguing world of GR-Research on this channel. Today, we revisit that discussion and dive into some old and new debates surrounding Danny Richie's speaker upgrades.
If you’re new here or wondering why Danny Richie is part of the conversation, this video will clarify his journey from the early days on my channel to his own successful YouTube presence. A while back, I started a series called “Tuesday Tech Talks,” inviting manufacturers to discuss their tech and audio products. Although it wasn’t a massive hit, Danny quickly emerged as a standout contributor. Fast forward a year, and he launched his own channel, and the rest is history.
Now, GR-Research isn’t for everyone. Some skeptics think Danny is selling overpriced upgrades that don’t offer real improvements. While I understand these opinions, I’ve experienced his work firsthand and find value in his speaker designs and DIY kits. But what about his speaker modifications and upgrades? Are they just marketing hype or genuine enhancements?
In this video, we put Danny’s upgrades to the test. We’ll examine sound clips from the Wharfedale 10.1 and Behringer Truth speakers to see if there’s a noticeable difference between stock and upgraded versions. I won’t reveal which is which until the end, so listen carefully and decide for yourself if the upgrades make a significant impact.
**Wharfedale 10.1**
We start with the Wharfedale 10.1, which Danny upgraded with new components and tube connectors. While the stock crossover wasn’t bad, the upgrades might be more subtle. However, I’ll share a surprising discovery about the stock binding posts that could influence your perception of these upgrades.
**Behringer Truth**
Next, we’ll review the Behringer Truth with stock and upgraded crossovers. Despite matching every component to stock values, any audible differences could suggest that parts indeed make a difference. Let’s see if you can detect any improvements or lack thereof.
**Big Reveal**
Finally, the moment of truth: I’ll reveal which clips correspond to the stock and upgraded speakers. Based on my experience, I believe Danny’s upgrades generally offer improvement, but I’ll leave it to you to decide.
