PS Audio tech recommended 100 hours for breakin period. My pair arrived yesterday and I will be streaming 24/7 for 4-5 days up to Thanksgiving with the initial listening session on Thanksgiving (I prefer music to football on TGiving!). Interested Jay if you notice differences as you break in the speakers. I am Grateful you are doing this review. You may be the first serious review of the fr5's and certainly the first to pair with the Gryphons. Brava!

[@jaysaudiolab]

Thanks for sharing

Jumper red to red. Jumper black to black. Spk wire red to a red terminal. Spk wire black to a black terminal.

[@jaysaudiolab]

Yep - I fixed it after I filmed it

[@Kiwi_Col]

I thought I had gone to the twilight zone.

[@oohtob6685]

Ive done that over the years. From priced matched Amps and speakers too much more expensive amplification to amazing effect. 👍

[@jaysaudiolab]

Totally agree!

[@EskWIRED]

The way you are testing it is the correct way to do it. The component under test should always be the weak Link in the system.

[@rangerrecon]

I love the idea of connectingthe FR5's to the same equipment that drives your Q7's. I think I mentioned this on your Facebook page, this allows us/you to hear how well they can compete with the Q7's. Obviously, no one is expecting the base from the FR5's that the Q7's produce, but how well do the midrange and high-end match up? How well is the overall performance of the FR5's? This is the way to find out. Excellent.

[@jaysaudiolab]

Thanks

New to me: shorting to cancel radiator effect 💡

[@alanwatson3367]

That’s a lot of horsepower on those things 😊

[@jaysaudiolab]

Yes 🙌

[@ivoverhoef1160]

I think you need to bi-amp those speakers. Ask Flemming to send you two more APEX amps.

[@sidvicious3129]

Way to go Jay, but I was expecting you to get angry and turn green, moving those 700 pound speakers!!!

[@jaysaudiolab]

Me too 😂

[@glenncurry3041]

I just finished typing the question of do you short out unused speakers. About to hit Comment. When you showed the shorting cord! Glad to know you know!

[@jaysaudiolab]

Yes I do!

[@helgar791]

If you like these can the FR-30's be far behind?

[@jaysaudiolab]

Not sure

[@mikelautermilch8939]

Interesting experiment. Can't wait to see results after break-in. Hey Jay, unrelated question: which DAC did you like more, the Tambaqui or the DAVE?

[@jaysaudiolab]

Tambaqui

[@patfrederick7327]

Break in is snake oil at best.

[@mikelautermilch8939]

Jay, a great Piano pusher....ps why didn't you just put those FR 5 's on top of the Magico's ?

[@jaysaudiolab]

lol 😂

[@xsamitt]

Again...thank you!

[@jaysaudiolab]

Thanks again!

[@MikeFisher-h9r]

Am I missing something. Why did you jump the negative to the positive on the highs and lows? Shouldn't it be negative to negative and positive to positive ?

[@jaysaudiolab]

I fixed it afterwards

[@dw5757]

While watching, first thought was fare well to that $100K amp.

[@carlitosgomez71]

Which is heavier your amps or main speakers? No wonder you look jacked moving those things around 😅

[@jaysaudiolab]

Amp

[@hindagsxr]

Jay, with this place you could use a castle and a place for Magico would be ok. I could use one too :)

[@jaysaudiolab]

That would be cool!

[@socratesliriano9852]

Jay don't forget speakers need to be broken in to sound their best.

[@MotownAudio]

You have done so much Audio group Denmark pr why haven’t you reviewed their gear ? Borresen speakers etc.

[@MotownAudio]

Especially those speakers vs the x series

[@RobertKohut]

Like Sesame Street, "One of these things is not like the other".... LOL

[@anthonyfender72]

Why the heck would you hook up those small bookshelf speakers to those massively huge wattage amps ?

[@jaysaudiolab]

Because I can man…

Jay, you can title this video “Snow White and the Four Kick-Ass Audio Dwarfs”.

[@jaysaudiolab]

Hahah

[@chucke.7141]

Is it just me or do your electronics look tidier and more organized?

[@jaysaudiolab]

They do

[@Coneman3]

So this is your low end solution?

[@jaysaudiolab]

Yes

[@fredbissnette3104]

A set of these with a bryston would be decent

[@royli3260]

Mmmm.....(admittedly despite the sound from the video being heard via my humble/rubbish internet connection), it sounds pretty crisp/tight from the outset. This should be really interesting as the new speakers run in over the week. I wonder how much the overall character of the presentation will change as this occurs before it properly settles. By then, what will you think ....?

[@jaysaudiolab]

Stay tuned !

[@royli3260]

I hate to be "That Guy", but I looks like you wired the speakers wrong. Maybe you fixed it off camera.

[@jaysaudiolab]

I fixed it after I filmed. Don’t worry

[@goodsound4756]

No, "that Guy" would comment, why this video is still not the actual Review that got teased so many times now.

[@Kukkema]

So the result will be: These sound pretty damn good on $500000 worth of equipment. Cool. But what can they do on more price appropriate equipment?

[@jaysaudiolab]

Let’s wait and see

[@Kukkema]

@ will definitely follow along

[@denisplante2193]

Who is the guitarist??

[@jaysaudiolab]

It should be on the description

[@SAGNI0971]

PS Audio proves the maxim: style over substance. I’ve listened to their equipment and have never heard anything approaching musicality. You better hook back up the Magicos before your ears start bleeding. good luck !

[@jaysaudiolab]

Ok
