Living Voice R80 Loudspeaker Lab Report
Lab Report The 210mm Scanspeak Ellipticor bass/mid driver works to a high 2.8kHz here, the CSD waterfall [Graph 2] revealing a series of low-level modes up to ~4kHz before the 34mm Ellipticor dome tweeter builds to a peak at 10kHz [see Graph 1]. Distortion, however, is a very low sub-0.1% at...

The measurement looks very jagged, which is strange, but I can say that I really liked the sound with the Air Tight 300b amp. I could live with it. This is my personal opinion, not universally valid.A bit higher than 88 dB, but not much and not the easiest phase angles. While not hard to drive it is not really a 300B amp type speaker IMO… at least not in a biggish room or playing loud. When levels were moderate they sounded great with the SJS amp but when things got going you could hear it harden up and the amp reaching its limits.Living Voice R80 Loudspeaker Lab Report

Yes..same tonality newer series of scanspeaker driver more resolution & natural sound.
Everyone has to decide for themselves whether the improvement in sound is worth four times the price. Personally, I'd go for the IBX or build something similar. It costs the same and works very well with tubes; smooth impedance, phase, and spl.
This is the one you should build from Troels... 95dB and DTQWT bass!
This is in many ways similar to my Hornings but with more crossover than the Hornings.
The best pairing I’ve heard a LV OBX-RW with is a PSET 300B, they output ~20W on a good day. Art Audio had a wonderful PSET 300B amplifier, so do Kondo (if going to extremes).
Never properly auditioned the R80, only at show conditions, so I can’t comment.

Yes, the Auditorium series (the OBX-RW is the top version of that series) are very SET friendly and will work well in a domestic situation. I have also heard them sound absolutely great with Einstein OTL/Einstein preamp.
When I change my speakers again, it will be something like this. The company will soon be offering the kit in poland. Dipole Ellipticor speakers (4x 15" bass, 2x 9" midbass, 1x middome, 1x tweeter drivers) cost €18,000 for a pair. The best sound I've ever heard. An example with Aries Cerat DAC

I think i will tested it,how how it sounds against the metronomeJust make sure you get the Aries Cerat to go with it …
Roy Gregory wrote “Kevin does not prefer SET”.
In past I had a conversation with Kevin and he told me he designed his speakers with kondo push-pull 300B.
I think Kevin just prefer push pull 300B to single ended 300B and he does not like high power solidstate systems. Kevin had CH precision in his showroom for awhile but it I guess it was just marketing advertise for CH Precision.

I agree with @morricab and @bonzo75 on the LV R80. I have properly auditioned the R80 as they did, but I’m afraid, @DasguteOhr, your comment isn’t based on an extensive audition outside of audio shows and distributor rooms. Rather, it seems to be based on web pages and technical specifications, as is usually the case in your postings.
R25 series speakers sound much better than R80 in my opinion especially the one with separate crossover.

Of course, I live 25 km away from the German distributor of Living Voice and Kondo. I'd say I know speakers pretty well. Two friends own Living Voice speakers. I always roll the dice before giving the answers
. What planet do you live on? I can only shake my head at answers like that.Over and out
P.S
if you don't believe it

Excellent Stefan … For my part the most compellingly convincing rendition of this work thus far on WBF

The age of the Trios makes a difference. Earlier ones didn't have chokes in the crossovers so were higher impedance in the bass but with each succeeding driver crossed in, the impedance went down with frequency. SETs will take umbrage with that sort of thing. The later speakers have this problem fixed.
Thank you and good to know. I have only heard the current generation (G3) and was extremely impressed by what I heard.
