Thanks, Maty. You are on top of these videos!

Thanks, Uncola. I didn’t see this one either.

You guys are my eyes and ears on YT reviews.

To get an idea of the small size, despite what he say it has powerful bass (and it has foam on it).

 

[xrk971]

About the same size on the front as LS3/5A but 2in taller for vent (7.5in W x 14in H x 17in D). It is also very light relative to other speakers because the TL channels provide a lot of bracing so no need for heavy thick panels. Baffle is 18mm thick though.

Another great review of the TL speaker.

🔥GALION VOYAGER TL - TRUE TO ANALOG !!!

Thank you for posting the Voyager TL crossover. This is an excellent thread. I now have a pair which just arrived from Galion audio.

As DIY’er myself I will be tempted to open it up and experiment with crossover components. Do you think putting a Jantzen superior z-cap on the tweeter makes for a material improvement over the Galion branded cap? The binding posts on this speaker feel expensive, very nice!

The custom made film caps in there are just as good if not better than Jantzen’s and Thomas has a Jupiter Vitamin-Q oil in paper bypass cap on the tweeter. I don’t think you will find much room for improvement.

Glad you like the binding posts - those are premium Viborg’s and mounted on custom CNC aluminum binding post plate.

I don’t think I ever published the crossover for this speaker as it’s a commercial product.

🔥GALION VOYAGER TL - TRUE TO ANALOG !!!

That was a nice review and I’m glad he saw the quality of the crossover and cabinet. The cabinet is thin because it is a TL and there is naturally built in bracing from the TL channels. So no need to make it thick wood. Also, the thinness mimics the 9mm walls and 18mm baffle is similar in construction to the Vanguard (which is a modern take on the LS.3/5A - also with similar wall thickness birch plywood).

Very fine reviews!
I may end up with a small tower or stand mount as the best option in our place so going now to see if you are doing anything DIY like this, in case I need to build some

Everybody should try with these and others loudspeakers the 4K / AAC 192kbps video that I uploaded to YT: first track The Ride Of The Valkyries.
