Back to the future with Pylon Audio Jade 20 Retro loudspeakers 

Jade30 look even better, coming soon.

Thanks very much, didn't have any motivation the past year and now I do a upload when I have some motivation to do one as they can be very time consuming.

🖐😃Depends what mood I'm in, sometimes I don't have the motivation as it is time consuming. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, it's just free music from the youtube library. Most of it is dross.

@@EdenAudio like the look of the Jade 20's too I may head to Eden for a demo in the next few weeks, I'm in the South West , thanks for your reply .

@@sigma4455 Yeah they are lovely looking things. I personally prefer the covers on but they are not acoustically transparent plus as I said in the video a right royal pain in the butt to remove.

@@EdenAudio I'm wondering if a carefully placed soft plastic trim tool may help gently prize the covers off ? I'll bring a spare with me when I pop over for a demo .

@@sigma4455 Possibly, there is like a little material pully on the bottom of the covers and even they don't help. I much prefer magnet covers.

Hard to say really as we all hear things differently. Pylon loudspeakers certainly are not bright and nor are these. I find they don't sound how you think they are going to sound in general. I would say they are quite airy, realistic, spacious and not metallic/thin sounding. On a separate note I think they do need a long run in as bass presence is not there where brand new, quite a long run in period before the bass really fills out. Easy to place and not fussy.

Hi, I don't know as I have not heard the Wharfdales, sorry. Thanks for watching.

Oh yes definitely! The room they are in is about 14sqm and they are perfect. As I said in the video they don't sound how they look. That size of the bass unit filled me with dread but I was surprised at how it sounded as they focus more on the midrange, it is not boomy at all. In fact they need a good run for that bass to fill out a bit more, but it is never boomy. They are front ported so no problems. They are some stands for them but I haven't tried these yet as I am happy with them, again, no boom at all. I use them with a very good power amplifier the Keces Audio S300 but Pylon also use valve amplifiers. The room also has some treatment. But I must stress they don't sound like they look like they will sound.

Thank ypu very much @@EdenAudio That is good to now, and I will schedule a listening session with the local dealer :)

Happy listening!

Email them and ask them for a job, seems you know more than them and show them the error of their ways.

@@EdenAudio Thank you for replying that put a smile on my face it is not so much about knowing more but steel loudspeaker baskets are the cheapest to produce and they are not the only ones asking serious money for it. You could have looked at how they assambled the crossover and would have seen what I mean. A litle research goes a long way.

@@bodhiveeren From cars, to houses, to electronics some corners will get cut here or there, it business, it's life, products have to meet a price point. We now live in a time where geniuses on the internet think they can do it better for cheaper, or they have the miraculous power of knowing how a product sounds by looking at it🤣 I ignore both groups.

@@EdenAudio Yes and rightly so but my critisism stands and now I realise that you run a shop and that explains a lot.

​@@bodhiveerenI just took a look. The woofer seems to be stx made, well design reasonably priced woofer. I had used it in my projects. There is no issue with this driver. Seel basket has extra pressed reinforcement. No ringing, no audiable issues with these drivers. Crossover is OK, for this price point. Tweeter even has a Janzen cross caps in the filter. Montage is little bit diy, but this is fine. Some prefer this old fashioned style over PCB.
