The Lii Silver-10 baffles

For a long time, I hesitated to offer the Lii Audio 10" flagship drivers in my product line.  There were two reasons for this .....

The first was that I honestly presumed that the price point would put the speakers above what my intended customer base would be willing to pay.
However, there have recently been quite a few requests for baffles with the new Silver-10 driver.

The second reason was that the Lii Audio 10" drivers have always had a .QTS parameter that was not optimal for open baffle use.

Based on the good performance of the Fast-8 and Silver-8 drivers in my baffles (which also have poor .QTS parameters), my curiosity got the better of me and I ordered a pair of the Silver-10 drivers and built baffles for them.

It's possible that there are some other factors that allow a driver with a low .QTS to sound good in an open baffle ..... possibly the coupling to the floor in a low profile design such as the ones I am building.
I'm not a "numbers guy" ..... so any speculation on my part is just that ..... speculation .....

So ..... how do they sound ..... ?

Wow !!!

The Silver-10s are the real deal .....

While they don't produce subterranean bass, the upper bass is very tuneful and it's easy enough to supplement the low bass with a powered subwoofer or a powered bass baffle.

Another option would be the Decware Audio ZROCK.

Here is a photo of the test pair that I built .....

Information about the new speakers can be found at this link.

Happy listening,
Randy
