Please Review the denon 6700H

[@pcfreakx]

I know you've reviewed the LS50s and the Q750s but I'd love to see a review of the R3/7/11 series. I'm seriously considering them and love to hear your feedback!

[@KristiWright]

@@pcfreakx Wish we could help you there but I doubt we'll ever get the R series. I've been asking KEF for anything out of that line for a couple years now and no luck.

[@pcfreakx]

@@KristiWright LAME. Thanks for the fast response Kristi. I'm a video/audiophile going on 30yrs and you guys are probably about the most well rounded reviewers I follow. And whoever is doing the beautiful automated tracking shots is KILLING IT. Great video work.

[@jmax5105]

Seems that lately there have been quite a few nice surprises in the speaker world that are on the "somewhat affordable" side of things. I've LOVED seeing this and these reviews. My Polk Reserve R600s just showed up today. I didn't think I needed the R700 due to the smaller size of my room (although I am sure I would have loved them!). I am AMAZED so far at how they sound and am like a kid on Christmas morning. The R600 is definitely big enough for me! Thank you for all the work you put into these reviews and helping us all find what will make us happy with the sound of OUR systems. I'm happy now. ;-) I'd be willing to bet that most of the 'hater' comments you get are from people that have paid WAY more for their systems (not that there's anything wrong with that) and just can't understand how someone can be happy for less money. lol. Thanks again for all you both do. LOVE the channel!

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

So glad to know you are enjoying your speakers, Jason!

[@9tophat]

Yes, some of us do watch all the way to the end. I really like Kristi's take very much. I also really like Andrew's perspective, with the result that both of you together do a wonderfully lovely job with your reviews. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you both in each video. Well done. Cheers!👍🙂

[@sevsevertson9189]

I have to say this is the first time ever that I have been moved leave a comment on any KZbin channel. But I have to say I’m very impressed with your professionalism and yet laid back commentary. I feel Andrew always comes across very relatable never feeling like you talk down to your listeners. I also find that you and Kristi have great chemistry, I feel that she adds a unique balance to you show. I’m always so impressed on how you are able convey so well what’s to be expect from the product your reviewing. Also feel the editing and labeling always looks very professional. You guys really have something truly exceptional please keep it up. I can’t say thanks enough for the great content you provide.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

We really appreciate you taking time to comment as it means a lot to us to know you found a home here! Please don't be a stranger in the comments.

[@BryanRuby]

Kristi and Andrew, I really enjoyed the discussion over room comparisons between the old house and new house. Thanks! You'll never hear me criticize your room for listening not being 100% perfect as my house's listening areas is embarrassingly imperfect with the wife's salt water tanks humming away. But it's home for us...so that's good enough for me! Personally, I can't imagine I'd ever want to listen to music in a "perfect" room where I can only listen to music and do nothing else with the room itself.

[@KristiWright]

[@JoeGsPizza]

I was all decided on the Lumina II’s for my living room, had the plan all laid out, and then these green beauties came into my life. The slightly rolled off highs while maintaining clarity make me feel like this might be the better option.

[@KristiWright]

I don't believe you can make a wrong decision either way, Joe! If you're looking for the green ones seen here, be sure to use our link (desx/pinned comment) because they're impossible to find in that finish option but last I checked you they are still in stock there.

@@KristiWright awesome, thanks!

[@vrenlos]

That green!!! 😍 As usual, killed this one. Completely off of my radar and now I'll be hunting for anyone that carries them locally (yeah, right...). Maybe a perfect upgrade for my office setup after I get tired of looking at the Kali LP-6's. And that's if I can drag myself away from these Lumina V's 😁

[@NosEL34]

You 2 are the best, I always leave your vids with a smile on my face. I agree with the aesthetics of this speaker, very nice. Quality gear that looks good and at these prices is a trend that I hope never stops. ✌️

[@vicentepalacios7041]

Whether folks agree or not, aesthetics and colors of speakers and turntables matter. Especially if the unit is being placed in an area that guests or family can see and enjoy. Great sound is critical. Getting the added benefit of Satin green or blue is phenomenal!

[@laurelhardy4064]

Finally, someone's making an environmentally friendly green speakers, excellent review, thanks.

[@Lucas-qo5go]

Doesn't it seem as if in the last couple years, hifi audio has been getting more and more affordable? I haven't been in the hobby that long but everyone, including the dealer I bought my speakers from is saying how affordable really high end sound is becoming. My dealer specifically said he's worried he's gonna have trouble selling more expensive stuff specifically because of how good a lot these new entry level lines are.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Quality AND performance are getting well with reach of the "masses" for sure! This speaker is proof-positive of that. Thanks for tuning in!

[@DearSX]

I started out in DIY 10 years ago because I wanted to get high level speakers at a price I could afford. I think unless I got really nice DIY gear and design, buying now makes more sense for me for under $5k. Around $5k DIY you can get very high level gear from the same companies that build equipment for HiFi companies like Scan Speak and SEAS.

[@Mark-hb2zy]

@@andrewrobinsonreviews what I'm finding, as someone starting out after a long time away, is that speakers are coming down in price and getting better for the money, but it's not necessarily the case for the amplifiers needed to get the best out of them, which costs more than the speaker more often. It's why I'm strongly considering a pair of kef ls50 wireless used, for about £700/£800. No way could I match that sound quality buying an amp and passive speakers for that money.

[@DearSX]

@@Flarptube Agreed. I remember paying $500 for a desktop in 2002, a 2022 Desktop for the same price (inflation or not), is exponential more capable. Same for TVs.

[@ubacow7109]

The other issue is that the high end stuff is worse engineered since "high end" fancy stuff is usually not even anechoically tested and designed based on theoreticals.

[@adamlink7561]

Holy crap!!! I haven’t looked at their website since I bought my turntable 2 years ago. and like you I had no idea they had an entire speaker and electronics line. I need to study this. Thanks for doing this review, this is very exciting.

[@jjnewbold]

Thanks for talking about your old room vs new room and speakers being relative to each other in a consistent setting. Very important point.

[@westcoast708]

I love that speaker manufacturers are giving us more options as in colors too choose from thx guys ...

[@Michael-xz1nk]

Love the green. Wish other manufacturers would do more colors. Black and walnut are beyond passe. White still takes the award in my opinion, especially in a cool white room like yours. I'm a KEF LS50 fan but these speakers sound like the ticket for their price point.

[@scottbaylor6215]

I watch all of the videos by you guys. Love the “and me” to the added tagline. Nice job. (Glad I don’t have to sell my R200’s). Keep up the good work.

I love how human and relatable your reviews are, and I really enjoy hearing Kristi's take. I watch some of the old videos and always get a sad face when it's just Andrew (not that I don't also enjoy his take). Your channel is a significant factor in getting me back into the hifi hobby after a long break. Thanks!

[@burner8959]

The green with the black grill covers makes this speaker quite stunning looking. Not in the market for new small speakers, but in a few years when they hit the used market, I might have to find a pair. Love the matching TT.......oh kept watching and the laid back sound sinks this as a possible purchase. Still like the looks though.

[@syanhc]

[@ilunga146]

Green is my favorite color, too, Kristi. Blue comes next. Cool colors for me.

[@DNGR369]

The way I mostly rate speakers (for myself) is if it puts a smile on my face or those around, and it's been a flawless system so far. These seem to have lit that fire in you guys so couldn't be more thrilled for you guys. I'm more a Klipsch person over Linear (except in headphones for clarity) but would love to try these! Getting that Evo in Green asap!

[@rreichar1]

Nice review! I will add these to my mental list that I have kept for the last 50 years. I always feel that you guys do a great job of conveying how a product sounds to you. I have bought a number of items after you have reviewed them and I have not been surprised by anything despite my room being different to yours. Kristi don’t worry about the haters.

[@NigelFudge]

I just want to thank you guys for this review. After rewatching over the weekend, I came across a brand new pair in walnut at £200! Obviously an insta buy. I've only tried them for a couple of hours, but safe to say they are relagating my dali oberon 1s to 2nd system duty. Many thanks. ❤

Wow we are simply spoiled with great reviews (thank you!) and great products these days! Having a small room and needing as much dialogue intelligibility as I can, I was leaning a lot towards the Q Acoustics Concept 30 after having seen your 50's review. I would have never thought Pro-Ject did speakers, though! They really seem to have nailed the sound, look, build quality and budget combination. Between the two, I really think there are no bad choices.

[@chemicallust77]

You had me at green...lmao...seriously, I love the finish

[@l_speed8797]

Love the green! It takes a speaker that's otherwise rather nondescript in it's construction and makes it pop. I love my wood tones, but i could definitely see something like this gracing my bedroom, especially at this price. Well done review as per usual. And Kristi, ignore the riff raff. It's the Internet. Anonymity often encourages opinionated belligerence. Audio science and the pursuit of "perfection" is laudable, but somewhat unrealistic given none of us have perfect rooms either. That's why they have things like Dirac. You guys keep doing you and we'll keep watching. After all, as Andrew says, the only person who has to enjoy the sound of your system is who? That's right.

I found a way to improve dialogue in 2 channel system. In case some of you missed it, there is an audio setting in AppleTV force output to Stereo (disable surround sound on Chromecast). I noticed much better dialogue in contents that are designed for multichannel. I am guessing the AppleTV is now pulling the 2 channel audio from source instead of downmixing locally. It seems to affect older movie more. I am using LG C1 OLED and optical out from the TV.

While im SUPER Satisfied with Lumina 2 ... IT's nice to know where all these other option sit in comparison both in character and prices. I think my incomin Hegel 120 will enhance all of Lumina qualities.

These or the Focal Chora 816 - to match with Audiolab 7000a. Guessing both need would need a sub?

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

If you want the widest possible sound stage with arguably some of the best center imaging, Focal anything would be my recommendation. That said, both the ProJect and the Chora line benefit from having a subwoofer. You're also comparing a tower to a small bookshelf here so they won't be 100% comparable.

I just received these speakers. They do sound very good. If shipping, please make sure the seller doubled box the speakers. The manufacturer box is very thin and the protection padding is poor.

Another terrific review. It’s amazing how far audio equipment has come! True reference or near reference quality is within reach for nearly everyone. I say that as I’m currently listening to the Talking Heads on my R700’s, driven currently by the RZ50, both of which I bought based on your recommendation. These project speakers must be quite impressive. As for me atm, I’m back to using towers and I’m in love. As always, looking forward to the next review.

I’m in the early stages of looking at a bookshelf type monitor to go with my TT to replace my aging Paradigm Studio 40’s. It would be cool to hear your thoughts on a modern, budget speaker like this, and how it stacks up against an older higher/mid range speaker like Paradigm’s Studio 20 or 40 for some of us that don’t have any way to hear something like a Lumina 2.

[@gerardog960]

Haven't heard the S2 yet but I just bought the cheaper set (Speaker Box 5) and these things are CLEAR. Beware though, in my opinion they will need some juice, you can probably do OK with 35W but I personally would do nothing less than 50W. The S2 seem to be more efficient so that could be different but something to keep in mind if you're looking at either of these. And yes, I would definitely pair them with a Sub. I have a small-ish sub and about 100W amp driving them and they are going toe to toe with my more expensive (and bigger) BWs. Very well made and... green! (jk, I got the boring-show-some-fingerprint black and they look great!) Once again, another great find and review. Thank you guys.

@@KristiWright 😂 Oh, yeah, I went to their manufacturers website instead and they just had the usual four variations! I’ll be good and use the links next time 👍

You're right I had no idea. I'm going to go demo some if possible

[@starwarsskyline]

You guys are doing something right with these videos. My wife even sits through them and she doesn't even get the fascination with HiFi 🙂.

[@spencerharvey3329]

My question is since they are 55 Hz and up it’s more of a low end frequency speaker but they look so good and they also handle 150 W per channel maximum it’s possible you could use them for DTSX and THX what’s neat about these speakers is it reminds me of the sonance cinema select LCR and you can make multi channel systems from 2.1 2.2 you can add to however many channels even if you wanted 13.2 surround DTSX The possibilities are endless with something like this and I like the colors I would probably get the blue ones

“May want to grab a tissue…” 😂 Great video as always. Not even in the market right now but I still tune in because you guys are that great to watch. 👍🏻

[@KristiWright]

And we appreciate that you do!

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Thank you so much!

[@Scott-nr8go]

Awesome review! Very informative and helpful and fun! 🤗

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alexander9132]

at the moment the s2 model ist 3 times more expensive - is it worth it?

[@MrOliver1444]

I reckon with the speakerbox 5 S2 (easy to drive), the wiim amp and the REL Acoustics Tzero MKIII (subwoofer). That would be a fantastic sound for 1250 pounds.

[@jonuiuc]

I wonder if Pro-Ject makes these themselves in their own factory or if they are doing the drivers etc OEM from somewhere. I figure they probably do the box themselves at the least, since they are real proud of making all the turntables from raw material to final product.

[@markozupancic]

Which Center Channel Speaker would go well with ProJect Speaker Box 5 S2?

[@udp1073]

Pro-Ject just released an "all on one" system with the very same turntable, the very same speakers and one of their mid range integrated for 2grand.. it is so tempting.. on the other hand: do you think such a speaker will behave well on a desk, not too far (let say one or two feet at most) from the end wall?

[@ben23a31]

Intriguing. Great review. ✊🏽

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Appreciate that

[@thestr8jacket1]

Great review as always. Would be useful if you could tell us some of the music tracks you test with in each review please.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

I often cite albums used in testing.

[@williamblackwell9558]

I would love to see what parts are inside the S2. They probably built it for around $300-$400 if that much or they put the best parts in it and decided to forgo the profit on this model to boost the name. I just saw a video of the crossover, they did not use the best parts and the tweeter is not what an $800 speaker should have but they must have done a great job on the engineering.

[@hansj5846]

I recon there's a hefty markup or maybe import tax in the US because it cost €350 at my local dealer.

[@mindhead1]

I have a Satin Green Evo TT and am so tempted to get these speakers for the color alone.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Can relate.

[@666chew]

"..you're getting a box of parts" got a big laugh outta me.

[@jobiehooper5443]

How do they compare to the Focal 806

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

Focal will have a little more bass and seem lighter in the midrange as a result; likely sound a little brighter than these.

[@franciscoortiz6980]

Nice video... crazy good speaker. Buddy just bought a pair, added small sub and leak stereo receiver... nice
