I had these speakers for over 1 year and wouldn’t shut up about them! I’m glad that somebody, somewhere likes them. The OGY are criminally underrated.

Love that you review lesser known speakers like these Jay! Makes it more fun to discover new brands and products. Cheers!

You are the 2nd to tell me about OGY. I may have to get some to try now.

I had a pair of speakers that were very similar, about 15 to 20 years ago using the Jordan JX92S 4 inch full range driver. They were made by Ronnie Thackerey who had a small company called Carolina Audio. The bookshelf model looked a lot like this one with a folded transmission line and there was a floor standing as well. They had a lot of the characteristics that you talk about with the amazing sound stage and clarity. To me they sounded like a pair of Quad electrostatics but with better dynamics, sound staging and, bass. The driver's on these ones look amazing and I hope I get a chance to hear them someday.

Really well done and helpful. I've been looking at these recently, and was very pleased to see that you've reviewed them. Was first looking into PMC offerings, but this might be better relative to price.Thinking/hoping they might work well in a 10x14 room and a Rel t7/x sub. Albeit, solid state pre and power amp.

Thank you for this review Jay! I'm Polish and only thanks to you have I learned about this Polish brand.

This is interesting i had the ls50 meta’s so I’ll be looking out for them !!

I love the "Tang Band" design. Always sound fantastic.

They look good too. Like bookshelves or smaller speakers. Thanks for sharing.

Very good choice. Fertin makes fantastic loudspeakers. Bravo

Hello, Jay! Thank you for this review of these weirdly named speakers...

Thanks for the review, Jay. I'm surprised you did not compare it with the SuperMon Mini which you also praised highly.

What I did to solve the lazar problem on the highs with FR drivers: I mounded the FR driver at a 30 degree angle on top of the box. Built a cover with a wood top and black mesh sides (with an omny deflector cone inside). I plan to make a few like that. They are semi omni, just a bit brighter in front but no lazar stuff, just gentle pregressive roll off in the highs as you increase angle. But even from 90 degrees it's still only 10% less highs. Easy to still enjoy. And as you walk around the room there is barely much difference in highs. It's not for the faint hearted but if you are handy with wood, it's about the only real solution to the super directional highs. Better than any conventional speaker for highs spread!

Hi Jay,would like to know little bit more in how do they compare to the moon mini,as they are both similar in price and would fit great in a small room. Cheers and thanks for the all work you’ve done here👌🤝

Something for me to consider. I'm currently shopping for a whole new system. SS or Tube, mono or stereo, integrated or stand alone, bookshelf's or floor? Decisions decisions, but the information gathering is actually a nice voyage. Too many times in the past I've bought on impulse and regretted it. This time around I'm aiming for high-end but simple and not ultra expensive. I want to get great value for my money. These speakers are interesting and with a quality sub might be the ticket with something like a Zen TORII JR.

That is a beautiful little speaker

I have some 3" coaxial speakers with tiny middle tweeters. Just a cap on tweeter. With a BSC filter they sound quite good, especially since they cost me only a small amount.

Nice review as always. Better is in the eye of the beholder... but I will agree they sound different than the KEF's. I will keep my LS50's (will be just 4 years old tomorrow) with a solid state amp, save my money and simply be satisfied and enjoy the music. The idea of chasing audio rainbows never ends. To each their own.

That's the coolest phaseplug I've ever seen, is that a transmission line ? Seen the deeper ported cabinet?

You mentioned the speakers were made in France, but the company is Polish. Thanks for the great review. I am considering buying them.

Excellent video, mate! I ditched my LS50 Metas after hearing a demo of the Adam Audio A7V powered studio monitors. With the A7V, I pick up details in music I never knew were there. Imaging is outstanding, too. Sometimes, it seems I hear voices, footsteps, gunfire, etc. behind me while gaming. I use an SVS 3000 Micro to fill out the lower end to make an outstanding nearfield system. Don't get me wrong, I liked my Metas, but the A7V are just a cut above.

Hi Jay, this is very interesting. I've been researching other speakers to replace my LS50 metas. I like them a lot, but I know there's more and better! I recently watched your review of the Totem Tribe Towers. I know, a different price category. But putting the price aside, how much better the TTTs are than the metas? Your input will be very appreciated!

I believe the midrange clarity of a transmission line speaker - is partly due to the low(er) back pressure inside the cabinet. Since it is open, the driver is, I think, able to be more like an open baffle speaker.

Have you had a chance to hear new kef speakers with vintage kef reference speakers like 104.2, 107 etc?

Jays thanks for your information, I always enjoy it, a lot. I'm just starting out with audiphilia, I recently bought the meta LS50. In the store they sounded amazing, but in my apartment... hmm I feel like they are not working at 100% capacity. I think it may be my amplifier (Marantz PM7000N) Very good in the middle, but in the high and low frequencies, frankly light. I know you've had the LS50 Meta for a long time. In your experience with which amplifier did you have the best experience?

I'd be curious as to how they sound with Thomas's Amp in Class A at 10 watts.

Jay, you have to try the new decware T6, sound great on ss. On tubes, I'll save all the audiophile catch words but , OMG!!!!!

I've heard them. Suprisigly good and full sound. They are tiny but don't sound like that. :)

This was great . Look to see u in Florida. Ill check out your patreon account

I'm looking at the paradigm founder 120h or the Dynaudio confidence 30 (used demo) wich would you recommend the Dynaudio would cost 8000 $ more... thanks

Jay, which speakers do you listen to when you are on personal time, ie. NOT doing reviews? Do you fall back to the Sonus Faber Amator?

Can these also be used as centre speaker along side left and and right LS 50 Meta’s and would you recommend that or would you recommend another centre that could go well with L/R LS 50 Meta. My other option is the Dali Opticon 2 stand mount and Dali Opticon Vocal Centre. Many thanks.

great review. THANK YOU. the OGY are very nice speakers. however. they sound very different with B.O.B base units hooked up to them. WOW we're talking a different ball game !. the beauty of those OGY is that you can add 1 , 2 , or even 3 Base units on each speaker as a serious booster. they're called: B.O.B (Base Open Baffle) . i think the concept is great. you can upgrade these speakers without losing money on selling of trading.

Nice review - I figure, for my case, I'd have these for some 'mood 'listening. .. like a side system that does some music really well. .. I mean, .. after all .. I don't own only 1 pair of shoes either. =)

Any advice about matching them to a moderately priced subwoofer? Is there a subwoofer under $500 that would do these justice?

sending love and peace to everyone...

I build speakers with single driver and coaxial drivers (that I built up from separate drivers). My 3" FR drivers go high and yet are fairly warm. You can even listen to them completely open, out of the box. And even easily make out the kick, over the music. A "puck". But in my built speakers I actually mount the FR driver half out of the box (with an acoustic speaker hole). So you also hear the music from the back of the driver (while the box still warms up the sound). Sometimes I hear someone in my room talking and I turn around in fright (it was the speakers). Once I heared a jet go past "overhead" and I looked out the window with excitement (a half a meter from my speakers). It took a few seconds of looking out the window before I realised it was a KZfaq video.

Perhaps a little brother to Harley’s Pearl Acoustics floor standers (i.e. Sibelius)?

EMS drivers are not the cheapest but definitely up there with the best full range drivers is my impression after reading posts from customers that have used them in DIY projects.

Like father of Hi-end British, the Lowther ! Simple no cross-over Dungeon type reflex system.

My choice was the combination Closer Acoustics OGY plus 2 x BOBs set I don't like regular subwoofers. 🎉 Best speaker system from Poland❤

I've only had cheap coaxial speakers, but the beaming drove me to drink ;)

Those Arendal subs are no joke, I wonder how they compare to the new Rsl speedwoofer 12? I have the 1961 1v and the 1961 bookshelves and I couldn't be happier(or could I?). Recently I've had my eyes on a pair of supermons but these Ogys are definitely on my list of must-haves.

Where is Two Gents? I haven't seen Him in quite some time.

❤️Hello Jay hope you’re doing well. Are these better than the dali minuet se❤️ In creating a three-dimensional holographic image with a strong center focused image

Jay in your opinion if you could choose would you pick KLH model5 or these OGY?

Jay it would be helpful if you provided a single frequency response measurement. With this speaker I would like to see how the lack of baffle step correction results in a rising response…I have never seen a single driver speaker without filtering not have this issue.

These speakers look happy

I would love to hear your review of the OGY speakers paired with their B.O.B. base speakers. I hear they're fantastic!

Business as usual! So how many speakers do you own and use? Freebies?

Jay I am big fan of fullrange drivers. Question for you. On a strickly "tonality" and presentation of the music using say the Vincent Audio SV-237 integrated. Would choose the OGY and subwoofer or Polk R700? Thanks for all your help in advance.

So, did you end up selling the KEF LS50 Metas and keeping the Ogy's or are you going to keep them both? 🙂

You should check japanese Coral full range drivers 🤔🇫🇮

Nice speakers

Can a Sugden A48 power a set of these? My Dittons apparently will be in yhe shop for a longer than originally planned. 40w of Old English Solid State

Jay, as you continue your journey, how about the Dutch & Dutch 8c?

Hey Jay, are you coming out to The Lonestar Audio fest?

Thought Jay sold the Kef LS50 for the Wireless version ?

Ogy is scary natural, like somebody singing next to you. Mega!!

Please tell us how much they cost. I can't find the price anywhere!

You should review CUBE AUDIO from Poland too

Very cool speakers. Kinda where im headed in terms of designs. I feel like they float the image in a beutiful way with these designs. Im going with a aperiodic transmision line design and a 8" drive with supertweeters. Should yeild a low 30's -30 frequency response. Ive had my eye on this company for a while too.

Love Boonzi trees, my dad keeps sending them and I keep killing them🤦

Why don’t you have a Tandberg TD20A SE half track 7.5/15 ?

Besides the look, what is the advantage of these co km pared to a Kali IN-8 and woofer setup for even less money? More SPL, extension is both directions, more advanced port end, no worries about subtractive crossovers. Sensitivity doesn't make anything more dynamic, and power is cheap... Plus most music only has 15dB of dynamic range on average anyhow.

When you said no crossover or filter, Danny popped in my head. Oh my he would have a field day with parts for this beautiful speaker!! LOL

Is it in the same price point as the KEF?

Dubious specs. IMD measurements?

@Jayiyagi Hope you are doing wonderful. Last year I got the AGD Audions after listening to your recommendation and last week I got the OGY. I already own a pair of Zu Audio Undertone 3 subs and believe me this combo is phenomenal. I believe I have found my end-game setup. Thanks to you!!

Lovely PS Vane Tubes

No US distributor?

What's ya going to do with those tiny drivers? I don't get it? 🤷🏻‍♂️

That one-eyed speaker is smiling at me.

Greetings from Poland. This Boyuurange is very beautiful.

OGY reminds me of the LGK's.

Looks like the speaker is going to say..Bananaaaa ..

Made by Closer Acoustics and sold by Stereopolis, both of which are in Poland, not France? Did you say France?

Maximum respect for anyone's opinion in Naples they say "Ogni Scarrafone e bello a Mamma Suia". The BBC3/5 in the various versions produced have been on the market for many years and evidently their sound has become tired, but it seems to me that we are returning to the phonovalige . ... moreover there are beautiful versions of the Diatone and Goto one-way in Japan that no one is looking for, but they are much better ............ although personally I can't stand them for more than 10 minutes ..... If I want to hear with a one-way I use a dipole with Altec 420 driven with a single ended 845 and so much for your shoeboxes

Focal does not use Crossovers, each driver is build specifically for their own tonality.

Excessively wide soundstage = poor imaging? Similar to Philharmonic BMR Monitors.

Have the feeling something happened to your autocue, or script itself.

They look like the slot machine from the TWILIGHT ZONE.😂

Adding a sub-woofer rubbishes the transmission line principle of the design. If a sub-woofer is necessary Ogy might as well house the same driver in a smaller cabinet such as the Neat Iota.

🤜🤛

@Jayiyagi, you should try a Bose 901 Series VI (the made in Canada versions) paired with modern audiophile electronics. Incredible bass from the 14” equivalent surface area and benefit of crossoverless design, albeit with the outboard EQ. Main problem was that Bose always sold these with poor electronics or in showrooms with poor placement. The Canadian ones seem to be the best (there are made in USA and made in Mexico vintages of the Series 6)

I heard ls50s and went is that it? Thats what everyones buying???

If the cabinet was yellow, it would look more like the single-goggled minion from the Rise of Gru than it already resembles

Crossovers do not shape the tone of a speaker/driver. The only thing a corssover can do is limit what frequencys are allowed to pass to each driver in a multi-driver system. The tone of a speaker is determined by it's design and the baffle it is installed in.

Thumbs up and shout out to team full range! I built the Pensil 7ms DIY speakers recently (ms=mono suspension, special driver technology now copied by B&W). Was only GBP 200 for drivers and CNC cut wood. I have the same super deep and wide soundstage. Only one problem occurs with one Santana live recording where the very left congas on the track always play in my neighbour's living room (so wide & spacious is the soundstage). He can get quite annoyed at times about that...

If they are small and only one driver and no crossover parts why are they still $2000? Should be around $500-600 range ;)

I’m just calling them OG as the y is silent

Is it just me, or do they look like a Minion?

Which sub could these be paired with ???

Btw they are made in Poland.

Sub woofers are directional actually

I loved my Kef LS50 but single driver speakers just can’t give me the dynamics I’m looking for in my music.

I admire but don't really understand these purist efforts in trying to make a viola yield the sounds of a violin, a cello and a double bass all at the same time...🤔

Paint them in yellow and they'll look like a minion.

92 db is ridiculous… I just don’t believe it, 87-89 at most…
