Today I talk about the OGY Speakers from Closer Acoustics in Poland. These are tiny hand made gems with a single coaxial 4" driver that delivers pin point imaging and purity of vocals and instruments.
These do not go super low in the bass but that is not what these speakers excel at nor is it why they are so special. The OGY's forte is delivering an intimate performance that is scary real. It's like the VR of Audio.
I hope you enjoy the review!
Enjoy!

Its not a coaxial driver, its a full (wide) range driver. Coax has a tweeter in the middle, just like the kef ls50

Polish composer Hania Rani goes perfectly with these speakers designed and made in Poland. Piano is very demanding instrument when it comes to music presentation Very nice review as always.

@razisn 9 месяцев назад

You said it is a coaxial but it looks like single 'full range' driver? Does it have a crossover? If not it is a single driver. Coaxial means it is two drivers with one inside the other.

@williamdirks5805 8 месяцев назад

"Coaxial"? Doesn't that mean a tweeter at the center of a mid-woofer? I think what you're talking about is just a "single-driver" speaker.

@somejerk1520 8 месяцев назад

Yup, whizzer cone

@HiFiHuff 8 месяцев назад

Ahh, yes you are right. My mistake. Even so, I believe most understood what I was saying. I have been messing with a few concentric/coaxial designs here lately and they all have a similar vibe so I just call them "coaxial".

These would look (and probably sound) amazing with the Tri Art 35 watt class D amp that Thomas has been talking about. Especially with those bass stands. ✌️

@HiFiHuff 8 месяцев назад

They do sound best with the Daniel Hertz Maria I have here vs others, even tube. It's a class D 350 WPC design but sounds organic, analog and very full and fluid. Gives these the boost they like. Some of the newest class D designs have been really blowing my mind. I prefer a good Class D today over Class A and AB but sadly I have heard only a couple truly superb class D designs so far. Have not heard he Tri Art but am sure it's very good.

Do you know of a way to determine how many watts are being sent to speakers at a given volume? If I were to get these speakers I'd want to make sure that I never push them beyond their modest handling capacity of 15 watts.

@hubertpoint10 9 месяцев назад

Do you think a sub (or a pair of subs) could help them pull off more demanding music like rock, etc? Also, how do they stack against the SoundKaos Vox 3A you reviewed? Thanks, great review!

@user-xg6zz8qs3q 9 месяцев назад

I added a REL T5x subwoofer and it helps with rock.

@rikardekvall3433 9 месяцев назад

Will be perfect as long as you can cut/filter out the first and second octave from the amp to the speakers. Let the sub take care of the first and second octave, then you can rock out. Then the drivers won’t crack.

@robertyates9973 9 месяцев назад

Closer are making a open baffle sub which is also a stand for the OGY. In a small or medium size room you won’t be disappointed about the bass performance without the sub.

@@hubertpoint10Some amplifiers allow you to set a crossover point for the subwoofer through an app. You can also do this through the Bluesound Node. So you have the Node output everything below 80Hz to the subwoofer out and the rest to the amplifier.

@Borednlonely 6 дней назад

@@mrpmj00 I wouldn’t. I’ve heard the Borresen Z1. Very nice clean sound but no life. Kinda like an overdone Dynaudio. I picked Harbeth 30.2XDs over them. This speaker with the bass driver I would imagine provides a much more dynamic and bloat free sound.

@henkieriksen796 9 месяцев назад

Are these better than for vocals and instruments than the triangle 40 comet? And if so, are they much better? Because in my country the triangle is cheaper than these.

@HiFiHuff 8 месяцев назад

Oh yes. The Triangles are lovely but have a more colored mid-range compared to these. The bass is the only thing lacking here which is why they excel for some music but not all. I have the sub/stand units on the way soon to check out with these so will have a report on those down the road here soon.

I really like single drivers IF there is a baffle step filter or EQ to tame the rising response…otherwise they are too shouty for my preference and then you’re trying to fix that with tubes and placement.

@mpi5850 9 месяцев назад

The drivers on these are esoteric drivers handmade in France. They are also a transmission line design. I can assure you they are not shouty.

@seanb3303 9 месяцев назад

@@mpi5850 it’s basic physics is reason for the rising response or shout. baffle step correction is needed and it doesn’t matter if it’s a french boutique or a Dayton driver. 😉

@user-xg6zz8qs3q 9 месяцев назад

@@seanb3303I have the OGY and they're not shouty at all. You can tune the driver in the acoustic domain through the cabinet dimensions (baffle size, cabinet volume etc...). You suggest tuning the drivers through an electronic filter (and that's much easier to do but it smears the sound). Real World Audio on RU-vid talks about this.

@seanb3303 9 месяцев назад

@@user-xg6zz8qs3q having a wide baffle does help with baffle step loss…Omega has designs that do that…the baffle becomes a comb filter though and you do get some smearing. DSP doesn’t cause smearing…quite the opposite actually. I personally don’t like active DSP setups because the sound is too perfect and squeaky clean. For pro audio that is a must have though. Shouty is a negative descriptor. You could say forward sound or mid-centric sound. A lot of people prefer that sound. Tube amps and not pointing drivers at your ears is another work around…but then you may miss out on some treble as a 4-5 inch driver will beam high frequencies…even if it speaks French or was made by hand 😉

@robertyates9973 8 месяцев назад

@@hubertpoint10OGY’s are more transparent and open with greater detail. They incorporate 5 inch EMS full range drivers so therefore don’t have a crossover. I have previously experienced other brands of floor standing full rangers in TQWT cabinets with 8 and 10 inch drivers which were directly compared to Boenicke. These FR designs (which have received many awards) had a more natural balance and increased transparency compared to the Boenickes. The Closer OGY’s compete in bass extension compared to the TQWT FR designs but are clear winners in the mid and HF bands exhibiting faster transients (smaller driver) and more detail. Hope this helps.
