that second guy had a super cool beard, handsome fella!

That big CSS logo on the speakers (in white) looks pretty amateurish, scale it down a bit and make it dark metallic.

So happy to see the collab team's passion and dedication bear fruit.

Your hard work, passion and enthusiasm have been recognized! Congrats to both of Jay and Thomas! We definitely will see more high quality products from you guys.

Honored to play a part in this video, and I really enjoyed the speakers. My only feedback for the team is that the CSS logo on the front is too high contrast and too large in proportion to the speakers. It’s a great cabinet that screams high-end, but that logo needs to be toned down (I’d size it about half off what it is currently, and go with a dark grey against the black baffle so that it’s more of a shadow/depth/textural thing and less in your face). Wonderful sound, though. I can’t say enough good things about these speakers. I seriously can’t think of a better speaker under $30K that I heard at the show.

Congratulations, Jay, Thomas, and of course, CSS Audio and Doge. Your collaborations and hard work with CSS (Jay) and Doge (Thomas) have seemed to have paid off. They are both beautiful and from the initial reviews, impressive. The better close ups of the Typhons really show the quality of craftsmanship by CSS. One day, I hope to own both.

Congratulations Jay. I met you in Florida on the elevator. Glad to see things going well. Love to see passionate young audiophiles continuing the tradition.

Congratulations on the debut of your speaker design in conjunction with CSS. Can't wait to see what you and CSS come up with in the future.

Aurender is the most stable machine I’ve ever had- it’s bulletproof and sounds amazing

It was great to meet you and listen to your speakers. I was impressed with your accomplishment! Only the best of luck to you!

I’m the person whose comments start at 18:10. I just put down my deposit this afternoon. I’m sold.

Hey I am a KZfaq star! LMFAO! Definitely need to brush up on my reviewer vocabulary though. Um um um…. Thomas caught me off guard! Lol Good job guys!

Typhons look amazing, great job you two!

Congratulations Jay🎉 sounds like you have hit a home run with these speakers. Not always easy to appeal to such a variety of people and music tastes. I hope that you are proud of this accomplishment, no small feat. Hopefully one day I will get to hear a pair myself. All the best to you.

Had a chance to meet and talk with you briefly in the CSS Axpona room. The speakers sounded great, the design is cool, so thanks for bringing them! Nice job.

Jay, please give CSS some credit. I knew what the comments would be because I have heard all the comments about other CSS products. For example, what if you teamed up with Mercedes Benz to make a special car?! Yup.

Placed my deposit April 3rd and couldn't be more excited after seeing this. Will be a big step up from my Q Acoustics Concept 40's. Really looking forward to making far better use of my Spring 3 KTE with preamp and Bryston 4B3 power amp. Can't wait!

Jay, it was a pleasure to finally meet you in person. Your speakers had some monstrous bass but still sounded pretty dang fantastic in that room. I hope you enjoyed the donut holes. 🎉

Jay congrats on a great show and amazing collaboration with CSS, the end result for the price point absolutely killed it. Enjoyed DJ Thomas spinning in your room.

I think these look amazing, total quality! I’m interested now in an automatic DIY DSP. Also interested in how these sound with different quality input sources. It’s obvious that these guys put faith in quality drivers FIRST.

I understand this video is from 3 months ago, but I wanted to say, congratulations your product was an absolute hit and you succeeded in your mission to create a great value speaker. It was great that Thomas was there to help promote the product and to provide and show off his wonderful tube amplifier as well. A great pairing. Much kudos!!!!

Jay the cables look fantastic. Work of art.

Hi Jay thanks for coming all the way out to Axpona so we could listen to your speakers and Thomas' amp! Here are my impressions: Typhons: Soundstage depth was immediately apparent which was amazing considering that most rooms at the show just sounded 2 dimensional. As advertised these are FULL RANGE towers. The bass went deeper than anything I heard without a sub below $17k. They sounded pretty even over all frequencies with no big dips or bumps that I could tell. They have a nice tonal balance with clear highs that are not overpowered by too much bass. Center image was strong despite no toe-in. Vocals had some meat on the bones without sounding too thick or wooly. Well done! Galion: This is tough since I don't have much experience with amps but I did get to compare it with the Norma. I'd say that you could tell that the Norma had more power and grip on the Typhons but it wasn't a huge difference. I wouldn't have noticed it without hearing them side by side. The Galion still made the bass sound great and gave some amps powered by KT150s a run for the money. Treble was comparatively more natural and a little softer in a good way. Which is to say that for the size of the room I think the Galion was the better match. It would probably come down to a choice of presentation for most people... But then again I think the Galion can also run KT120s so who knows!

Congratulations Jay. Well done! 👏🏼👏🏼

So good to see many of you there! Thanks for agreeing to do the interviews and please comment if you have heard the system.

While I was not able to attend the show, A friend and his wife did go. I had him check these out. He was not aware of them until I mentioned them to him. He runs modified SB Acoustics Sasandu's with high end Graphene Satori drivers with outboard active crossovers, each speaker powered by 3 Digital Amplifier Company mono Cherry amps. His setup sounds insane. His comment to me regarding the Typhons....... "Pretty nice"! Great job!

Hey Jay! Happy for you and your new speakers. It was nice meeting you in person, glad you didn't charge me to take a picture with you;) Yep that was me asking if you were going to charge me:)

Jay, it is a great achievement. You can be proud! I really loved them.

The second I have the money, I'm buying! Great job!

Well done guys, you're doing great work👍

Big moment for you!. The moment of truth when you see your creation open to other reviewers. Good job!. Congratulations!

YES, as said by other commenters, CONGRATULATIONS!! I speak to both you and Thomas. I actually learned quite a lot from those individuals interviewed by Thomas. Both CSS and Doge deserve a lot of credit for both their willingness and expertise relevant to the co-creation of both the speakers and the amp.

Hi Jay and Thomas, I finally found time to watch this video. Congratulations on the rave reviews from the hifi enthusiasts. They articulated that these products are particularly good high end. Great production values on this video too btw. Good luck.

I haven't been watching as much lately and with the rush of the show didn't realize you were involved with these speakers. I heard them at AXPONA and was very impressed. I thought they sounded great for their price point. They looked much more expensive. The tube amp was just being packed up when I was in the room, so I didn't hear that amp.

Congratulations to both of you. You have the ears.

Good job guys. I hope you sell a bunch and live like kings. Keep up the good work.

Your speakers look great. My only gripe aestheticaly speaking, is the CSS logo looking way too large for the scale of the speaker. If I ordered a pair, I would request them to be made without those logos attached to the enclosure.

will you ever make a center channel if i was to use these in a combo room ?? i am really intrigued. thank you for all your content

87dB is not a difficult sensitivity to drive. If you look at 90% of commercial speakers, they will have a mid-80's sensitivity. CSS don't overstate the sensitivity of their speakers, but some other companies have been known to. Don't make too much of the Sensitivity spec; amp power is cheap, and if the speakers get loud enough to be fully enjoyed with modest power then everything is fine.

What Great Coments Jay/Thomas!! Auditions to Audiophiles, who are Canadian! (hopefully), are priceless. Canada, with your help is moving forward with Audio Equipment that sounds Great at a less than $100,000 dollar price system/tag.

I own a Norma 140 since 2018, what an amazing piece of engineering proudly made here in Italy.

The online magazine HIFI PIG Axpona show coverage mentioned your room and posted pictures. I was happy to see you get some coverage. CREATIVE SOUND SOLUTIONS The CSS Typhoon speakers sounded really good, I was surprised at their $5500 a pair price. I thought you'd like to know.

Hey jay, for us people who bought the 1TDX based from your reviews, what are the key differences between the typhon and 1tdx expect for the bass which we all know is much much stronger. Thanks

I have the Aurender N20. I can't say enough good things about it. The compny and their support is Stellar.

Jay, tell us more about that Norma! Would love if you reviewed it!

Jay, Typhon looks awesome. Any thoughts on a future center speaker? :-}

It looks like you had the upper enclosure tilted all the way back. Did you find that was the best position?

I will say I was definitely impressed by your speakers. I listened to them three times, but the only amp was the silver one I listened with

Nice design but some remarks, CSS logo way to large and not very classy (but CSS is already working on this 😊), why not try a little smaller midrange driver for faster sound = better imaging (specially in a 3 way design), only one finishing = hit or miss, would be nice to have more choices (for a little more $)..

How does these speakers sounds with Hegel H390? Im planning to replace my old dead amplifier to H390 next week. and its a big chance that I will decide to upgrade the speakers to Typhons one day...

I had so many rooms I wanted to check out, but didn't find you on Saturday... Dang it!

23:35 xD ahh I imagine it's good feeling having all the work you put in finally paying off when you hear those peope talking about your speakers.

Jay, you are Canadian. You say you really love Hegel! Why have you never reviewed a Simaudio Moon amplifier or integrated amp?!! They are exceptional!!! I bought one and I had to stretch my budget to get it. I think you are missing out.

Jay, Thank you, I enjoy watching you vids. I'm abit concussed as I've watched you go from Sonus Faber Electa Amator III's to Maxima Amator to these. Just curious how these CSS that you are pitching now compare to Maxima Amators. Thanks as always. BTW, I think you owe you viewers that especially after all the praise you cave the SF's.

Hi between the arendal 1732 thx and yours ... which is better and then which is better value for money...thx Beejay

Any idea how long time is taking to delivery this speakers after order is placed? Are they on back order? Thanks,

So, when can we see about getting a Kit for this?

It is available as a made up speaker only? or also a kit?

Jay when will shows like these come to Detroit? I would love to sample your speakers...or the speakers that you helped design.

Fist off... Congratulations on the show and all the growth ! =)

Would of loved to went to Expona and meet up with everyone ' But my boss wouldn't approve me Vacation days for 7 months now ! We Can't keep Maint Techs in Automotive factories anymore a dying breed' Thanks Jay atleast i got you all !!

How did you like the Typhon's with the Galion in A vs. A/b mode? Did the speakers scale with more power/current in A/B mode or was pure class A the richer and smoother sound?

Bummer I missed you at the show!

hello Jay how to order your speakers and ship to london?

Another 3 letter brand name on the market. Soon many

Best of luck with your ventures..although the reviews say you don’t need the luck….

Can u bi amp these ?

I need to get to CSS to hear these! Or, Jay, you should bring a set to my house to test them out in my multiple systems and treated rooms. I’m 20 minutes north of CSS. 😂

speaker looks great except you have to lose or tone down the white css logo

In all honesty, it has been 10 years ago since i have been to an audio show. I heard the Steinway Lyngdorf class D system speakers and it was very nice to say the least. Is there a system better to this for a lower price?? I don't think so, or is there?

You clearly read all the comments. I remember throwing this idea out there for a speaker design. Good job following up and executing it!

I wonder if we can expect a Bundle advertisement for this pairing: CSS Typhoon by jay&Thomas Gallion Bundle. Prize for a Bundle with combined shipping? It could be a nice Website for such a combination. But who knows. But, that said, it would be funny if two Reviewers started a new Brand together. Has something as this happened ever before? Are there Plans for a project like this? The point about all this would be the money, isn´t it so? My idea would be something like a Combined Name like JT Audio or similar... Certainly knowable the CSS Speaker, but it is sold under a new Brand Name, but everyone knows the manufacturer's CSS. Like Back in the Days of The "Sharp / Optonica" Line. Or "Toyota / Lexus"... It is some kind of joint venture with the side effect that the names Thomas and Jay gain more popularity too in the audio-World! I mean, it´s always a talk about: Where are the young guns, thy new ideas? So if anybody asks: what do they two want to sell here? The answer can be: There are new Ideas we wait for! I am just dreaming... But no one knows the future!

I spot a tonmeister in the background 😅

So, Lenny... What did you really think...😂

How much was the Favorite System Total? Im sure the Warmth and Soundstage was Spot on but i am totally sick and Tired of the Fo-Cal Look , as well as Wilson, I would Never own them , not because of Sound but Looks are a Huge part of the total Package and can affect sound- some Tweaking on the Speakers and could be Sold, because the Price is awesome- need the British/Vintage Look as well as awesome Sound, but Overall the Room and Set up "rules" for Value to Non Fatigue long lasting Listening sessions!

J A Y ! Did you consider a replacement for (Jay Iuagi) ?? ....At the Show? I can't believe you didn't send me to help with coverage of the show..

The CSS is WAAAAAY TOO LARGGGGE makes them look like fisher price

AUdio Demo Would be good

Jay these are sick...im in uk ...hook me up bro i want a pair bro ...my end game speakers

Andrew Robinson's wife Kristi was talking smack about you and Thomas, and said in the comments on their latest video that you and Thomas only send your products to be reviewed by your friends.

Those little tags that Thomas put on his amp just make the amp look stupid, he should have not put them on it.

Weird day and age we are living in…

Wonder why you took my comment down?

I still do not believe that its enough power to drive those speakers, unless you are listening 1m away. 88db into 4ohms. Hard sell
