They are $229 in the states. They say they are their entry level, which is great that they sound so good. I only have a true 50w per channel so the added sensitivity would be nice. One issue is that I listen to a lot of streaming music over Bluetooth or direct connected. I think most of us do. I don’t want to only like them when I’m listening to reference quality material.

Of course this video comes out after I imported a pair of Satori MW13TX-4’s from the UK, BNIB. Hmmm, now I am rethinking my rethinking, of my rethinking, of my stereo. I may shelve the Satori’s for my “Noice” car.

The way you described these speakers as being very articulate and “unfriendly”, especially for poorly mastered metal music, is exactly how I would describe my Audio Frog GB40’s. I have them installed almost as exactly as you in the dash. They’re no where near as sensitive as the one audio but they are very detailed sounding speakers. I mainly listen to metal and it’s very frustrating trying to get the AF’s to sound good with that kind of music. Like you said, a lot of it is poorly mastered compared with other types of music and the AF’s really show it. Any suggestions that’ll help me is much appreciated.

Hey Mr Cat, I have been looking for a good mid/tweet combo for a while and the One Audio has come on my radar before so finally pulled the plug and got both the T28.e tweeter and the WB3.e, the tweeter come with some nice braided leads already attached but the wideband come with just a set of deans plugs. How did you attached your speaker leads to the mid? I am guessing soldered as the terminals on the wideband are super small. Soldering is not my best skill to be fair. Great vids as always.

@RAW-CAt Ай бұрын

Unfortunately with those soldering is the only way.

@MrCitizenKaned Ай бұрын

@@RAW-CAt I feared so, oh well excuse to brush on the skill, the mids came with XT60H(the one with the little covers on so you don't need to shrinkwrap but i will do so anyways), will likely run XT60h's through out in the new build. Thanks for the Reply.

Should be fine. You will have to EQ these mids down a bit. So after that they should match with the tweeters nicely👍

I was on the fence with those drivers because they just came out when I was buying my equipment; I went with Morel MW4 instead. Maybe I should have went with the OA instead. I have a similar tilted dash corner install. What's in the box!?! (Se7en movie reference) I'm guessing a new front sub to keep up with your front stage.

I'm a metal head mostly, I'm curious, not being a smart@$$, what metal albums have you tested to state that they're poorly mastered. Audio engineers like Bob Rock take pride in good audio recording.

@vipercrazy9910 Ай бұрын

A lot of metal lacks bass extension below 100hz. As an example if you have a system that plays down low play Take The Power Back by RATM then play Master Of Puppets by Metallica. That's an extreme case most other metal is somewhere in between, though a lot of newer stuff has gotten very good, Bad Omens, I Prevail, Sleep Token but they are the exception. Not an engineer just enjoy my bass.

@20smgreen Ай бұрын

@vipercrazy9910 I see your point in the comparison, and yes, that is an extreme as MoP was recorded in the early/mid 80's where there wasn't much low extension bass in recordings period. Korn in the 90's broke that for metal, followed a few years later by Chimaira. Today's metal bands, as you've noticed by pointing out a few, has more low end bass incorporated into their music. But in fairness, low end extension/bass in general doesn't make it a well recorded/mastered/SQ album. I urge you to play some Chimaira, Gideon, King810 or Lorna Shore if you haven't.
