Link is not working for me

[@Toid]

@@stevewuertz3598 I am not sure why. I checked it on multiple devices and it is working for me...

[@bobclarke5913]

You meant Torx screws, yeah? Does the bass boost setting default to off when unplugged? Would be good for when the remote is inevitably lost.

[@PaulBrunhammer]

I use dayton audio and ABSOLUTELY love them. I have the Bluetooth 4.5" and really enjoy them

[@tomsettles6873]

Toid - could you build a DIY version of the Wharfedale Linton using Dayton Reference driver and mid? I think this would be a home run. I would buy the plans for sure.

[@artificialmonkeypoo]

From what i can recall, the panels are fairly thick so the truncated frame was necessary to keep the cone inside the air volume. Hope this one continues to works out for them.

[@danrussell9357]

Liked the video - Another informative review!

[@Toid]

Glad you liked it!

[@joshcatstream]

Would have liked to see some active filtering on these speakers, and the advertised bass extension is misleading. The finish on these new series of speakers is quite nice as is the overall build quality.

[@RobertCookcx]

Would be nice to have a bit of a shelf to bring that midbass down 4 dB. These look very nice overall.

[@Toid]

@@RobertCookcx I agree. Or a basic EQ within an app

[@brianboro5278]

Hey you are wearing my favorite hat!!!

[@DIYAudioGuy]

Cool

[@RandyPeterson-b6m]

The one thing I don't like about the M6 bluetooth connectivity is that KZbin Shorts are very problematic and the audio drops out a LOT for KZbin shorts. Not too happy about that.

I have Bose 4001s and 2001s I want to upgrade the tweeters which are designed for major off axis listening. Any suggestions? I was kinda thinking a bmr would be great.

[@Toid]

@@LikelyLagging i’m not really sure what the sensitivity on those tweeters is. The big disadvantage of the BMR is it’s very low sensitivity. I would assume much lower than the current tweeters. It probably wouldn’t be a great combination.

[@LikelyLagging]

@ yeah I’m having a hard time getting any specs for them. Apparently Bose is pretty crap about sharing that kind of stuff. Thanks for the input though!

[@Toid]

@ yeah they’ve actually sued people before for posting frequency, response graphs or other tests. they don’t want you to know how their speakers perform

[@LikelyLagging]

@ that’s crazy…

[@miscreant1739]

Anecoyically?

[@Toid]

@@miscreant1739 anechoically means measured in an anechoic chamber to remove all room interactions. This gives us a baseline of how a speaker performs. Ideally that would be flat when measured from 3 feet or 1 m in that environment. Once you placed those speakers in your room, you will have a downward tilting high-end. You can read up on things like estimated in room response. It’ll give you an idea of how your speakers actually measure at your listing area versus what you see in manufacturers graphs.

[@miscreant1739]

@ Oooh ok! What does anecoyically mean?

[@Artcore103]

@@Toid yeah his point is that it's pronounced an-ECHO-ically (or rather, an-eck-O-ick-ly) .... i.e. without ECHO, not with ecoy.

[@LordDarthNihilus]

Seems like your a little disappointed by dayton, otherwise I would have seen many more smiles on your face :D however being a dayton fanboy for years, yeah. They might be great. But I think I'll stick to their passive mk series.

[@Toid]

@@LordDarthNihilus I’m sorry you got that from the video. I actually really like them. As long as you understand that they’re a little mid-heavy. Currently they’re what I’m using using for desktop monitors and I’m very happy with them.

[@LordDarthNihilus]

​@@ToidI see :) can you compare them with the mk402x with a budget amp, like Fosi? Because this set would be cheaper

[@johannjohann6523]

No digital input? People and their Bluetooth. I Never use it. Digital always for the best sound. Otherwise, not bad speakers.

[@Toid]

@@johannjohann6523 it has a USB DAC. That’s how I run them.
