Thank you for the review sir. Do you think W-15 will have the same good low end? Do you think it will be a good mid bass driver followed by a compression driver from 1-1.2kHz? If F-15 and W-15 have a same magnet and a membrane this could be possible I guess

If this is your reference then I don't know what Lii f15 you bought. I've heard the Sibelius( Alpair 10.3) speaker in the same room next to my open baffle Lii F15. And I can tell you I would not change my Lii's for a Sibelius. You did something wrong with those.Adding a tweeter to a full range speaker makes no sense btw. grtz. Groetjes

@939Productions 4 ай бұрын
As a full ranger the alpair 10.3 is a decent enough speaker. Compared to the f15's they have a more neutral tone but lack the open baffle effect on soundstage and the sensetivity is way lower so the output is lagging behind. The reason for me adding a tweeter was for the simple reason that I had the alpairs and wanted a two-way. You only need tweeters and a some crossover parts. In the end I like the result so much that the prototype speakers became the main speaker. I have said this in may of the comments on the f15 video and I'll say it again. The f15s do something right for alot of people to like them so much. They were just very much not for me and I think they are not what alot of people are looking for in speakers. Hifi-cave talked about it in a recent video. His system does some music extremely well and some it just doesn't. My speakers do most good and fall behind in some. I do want to try open baffle again to see if I can make it work better then the f15s. That design would look something like pure audio project designs. But first I want to build a ported two way design with a 12" woofer and horn that is 8ohm and 90dB+ sensitive. If you like the idea of that I'll start building next month

Hey, great video! I was wondering if I could use a 0.01uf bypass cap for the coupling cap. Would the difference be noticeable? These Duelund's seems like a perfect choice, but they go up quickly in price as you go up in capacitance... Looking at some silver foils which have excellent reviews. And one more question (I'm a modding enthusiast and have 0 knowledge whatsoever) does it have more impact to directly replace the orange cap or bypassing it? Thanks again!!

Yeah, I know. I made this Reisong A10 my own personal diy project. The casing is really nice, I did skunkie's mods and worked really good, but looking for even more... So I was wondering if the capacitance of the parallel cap impacts more (or less) depending on its capacitance. I.e. a 0.1uf has more impact than a 0.01uf. Is that correct?

hi , in my a10 , i stuck with 0.22uf when replacing the fake philips orange drop interstage capacitors (which are best used in guitar amps for their tonal distortion) , as that is the correct value for the circuit , i went with high quality paper in oil 600v 0.22uf and opted not to bypass the interstage caps as this creates a high frequency filter which is bad as it robs this amp of one of its talents , honest and sparkling top end . bypassing to remove noise is actually masking noise from elsewhere in your system and may be pushing up the mid range with the impression of reduced bass . the a10 should be silent at idle or between tracks . i replaced the cathode bypass cap of the el34s with a rough foil non polar from visaton connected with outer foil to ground and bypassed it with 0.1uf polycarbonate 400v (this was almost as big an improvement as the interstage cap replacement was ). 12ax7 adapters fitted with golden dragon 12ax7-T (ecc83-T ) cheap and good tubes , el34 replaced with treasure 2 6ca7 (getting a bit pricey now but worth it , mine are 7 years old ! ), replaced the power switch with an input selector switch and new, longer silver screened cable from van damme balanced microphone cable and left the screens floating to the new selector which is a Taiwan alpha 6 position (pegged to 4 position) 2 pole switch with rca sockets added for 4 inputs. fitted a toggle type appropriately rated power switch front and centre on the chassis , replaced the volume pot with an alps blue . using melo david L.cao 6" drivers which are 93db@1w@1m in 45L bass reflex cabinets with ribbon super tweeters crossed in at 12khz . massive sound and goes very loud with solid bass down to below what my speakers can reproduce with amazing clarity . will be trying some 96db drivers in a rear horn loaded cabinet soon. a stunning little amp for the price . worthy of note : do one modification at a time and try the results , the orange drop caps need to go as they are sapping the amps potential , the tube replacement helps but is not essential as even the shuguang el34b sounds great with the interstage caps replaced by better items . there was a newer version of the a10 called the a12 which has 12ax7 pre stage and 5ar4 rectifier and cornell dubilier interstage caps as standard. valve equipment carries large voltages so please , BE CAREFUL and get someone who knows what they are doing if you are not confident . have fun 😘

I ran a few sweeps on my F15 in Declare designed Zenmaster baffles. I found a very similar spl curve. The drop at 3-4k was so marked, I assumed I had some kind of problem with my testing setup. (I am a complete novice.) Similar hump following. I sent the curve to Lii audio asking if they thought there may be an issue with the speaker. I never heard back. ( maybe they never received the email) I plan to retest in the near future and compare results after hundreds of hours of use. I should add, much of the harshness is gone. I cross with a single sub at 250. I do find the sound quite good at this point with my impression of greater clarity and richness crossing at 250.

One that says lii audio with a red top 1/3 with the bottom saying "lii audio of hangzhou. china" and a lii song with a green top 1/3 with the bottum 1/3 saying "lii song of hangzhou. china" The resonant frequency is 50Hz on the lii audio and 37Hz on the lii song The lii audio branded drives are seen with a black foam surround and a wooden phase plug. Lii song branded drivers are seen with gray surrounds and a orange transparant phase plug. The rest of the construction seems to be the same. Presented spec sheets are the same on sites like "lii-audio-europe.com/", "www.lii-audio.com/", "aliexpress.com" and taobao The first two sell the lii song branded speakers. The Chinees sites sell multiple branded drivers with a mix of surrounds, phase plugs and magnet cup. Now the story on the Lii-audio.com site the story is this: "Lii Audio / Lii Song has been found in 2016, by the rear of beautiful Xizi Lake in Hangzhou, China. The company concentrates on designing and developing many types of high quality full-range audio speakers. The sound is artistic, we hold in belief that only by achieving a perfect design, insisting on handmade craftship and sound adjustment with restricted exigences can a speaker be made enchanted with art and life. We are devoted to provide to music amateurs worldwide a feast of exquisite hearing experience. Since the year 2020, for unifying our brand name for global market, we use Lii Song brand name in addition to Lii Audio as to establish unified brand recognition for both domestic and international markets." On the lii audio flagship store on aliexpress they sell 2 different versions of the f15 and neither can be found on site mentioned earlier. This seller sells allot of different drivers all branded lii audio but with a entirely different label as first two I mentioned. This rabbit hole goes deep. My personal thoughts on this. I think that lii audio and lii song are the same company. The drivers are more or less the same. Hifi Cave reviewed the lii song branded speakers and he liked them. I don't and that is fine. I will change the video title to lii audio/lii song since I believe these to be the same from my own research.

Well there is about 3700 miles between us so it ain't gonna be me. My recommendation is look at dedicated open baffle bass drivers from manufacturers like eminance or sb acoustics/audiance. purpose build/designed drivers are usually better equipped to do the range they where build for. This is a full range driver so it has compromises over the full bandwidth. The f15's call it quits below 50Hz where a dedicated driver can get maybe an octave lower. Believe me you want that. If you want to start building crossovers I recommend Xsim and looking at @speakerscott on YT(Edit: His video's are not online anymore sadly). This guy explains the basics of speaker building really well. Get a Umik-1 and REW and start with getting you measurements right then try and build cross overs.

Great review! Have you, by chance, heard any of the full range speakers from Omega? I'd be very interested to hear your take on them, and how you thought they compared to the Lii drivers.

Where did you purchase them? There is a controversy between authentic and fake. Do you have pictures of the label?

They could be. The originals have a hornflower logo on the label and sometimes on the cone. The fake ones say lii-song on the label. If it says lii-song anywhere on the label them it's a copy.

@@Phloored It says Lii Song but it's the same label as the website. So I doe believe they ar original Lii Audio drivers

Unfortunately the owner of lii-song, who was a employee of the original lii-audio, started producing copies of lii audio after he secured the web address. The original lii-audio speaks no English and has no website. There are some reputable dealers of the originals on ali express. The lii-audio website is owned by lii-song and they are copies. I despise anyone who would do this and am trying to get the word out on this. So the people buying from lii-audio all over the world are buying copies. I am informed by someone who has been to China and visited both locations and lii-audio are building speakers in house while lii-song are outsourcing. I don't even own any but this makes me determined to get the world out because it's just wrong.
