Has anyone tried No-Rez from GR Research? I'm picking up some 10B's tonight and was wondering if anybody tried this...

    Less is more but a great product.

    Danny Ritchie and his followers will tell you to line every inch of the enclosure interior, this is terrible advice.

    One sheet cut into 4 inch wide strips and then divided by the two speakers would be more then plenty

    To be honest I've watched a lot of his videos on upgrading speakers that people have sent in to him and he often includes a sheet of No Rez in the upgrade kit he comes up with, but I have never heard him say to line every square inch. I have asked him in comments sections about what would be his recommendation for square inches in a passive radiator speaker and he didn't respond.

    PS: For that matter, I don't remember him ever doing an upgrade kit for a Passive Radiator speaker.

    Go to audio circle and look at Danny's design... All are completely lined in no rez, every inch of the interior.

    This is a response from a guy who works with Danny

    Yeah -- he -- Danny, is a piece of work.

    Not a big fan, although I will say that I spent a few weeks with a carefully built (and, indeed, to some extent, re-engineered) pair of the GR "Paradox 1" loudspeakers -- and they were very fine. Their builder had equipped them with a little toggle switch to select their default XO vs. his revised XO.

    I've not heard the 10B's yet. I'm hoping to get a big vintage sound, perhaps without the low level detail that new speakers offer...

    If the sound is a little boomy, then adding something (like No-Rez) may do the trick; however, I don't want them to become detailed, with precise imaging and sound-staging. I'm really hoping to Geta slightly (its all relative) smeared sound to maintain the vintage sound...

    L-710.
    They're excellent little loudspeakers. I like them better than the 810 (FWIW); the latter are a bit "heavier" sounding than I prefer. Sort of like the Monitor 10 vs. the Monitor 7 in Polkspace. ;)

    The best thing about the L-710 vis-a-vis the Polks of roughly the same era-- cat-scratch-proof grilles on the ads loudspeakers! B)

    Too much sonic barrier or No Rez will suck every bit of life out of the speaker.

    For sure! A little bit goes a long way.
