Reference North Audio Flat Pack for GR Research NX Studio Monitors 

Thank You Peter! My flat pack went together as expected and the video was essential for a successful result.

I’m glad I bought the speakers fully assembled.

Hi Peter, I am thinking of building this speaker so appreciate your effort and lengthy explanation. That's your style so keep it that way. I agree its about putting the hobby aspect back into hifi. More close ups, and photos please in future videos would help. How about a video showing how you will seal and paint them ?

Really fantastic and comprehensive.

I always use water distilled from the clouds of Venus. A bit expensive but worth it. 🤔😉😂

I like to have a damp rag handy to clean up excess glue on particle board, but your right that it’s not the best practice for grained wood construction. But you have to be careful not to saturate the particle board. Your tip of using your fingers to check that your joints are evenly clamped is a good practice because your fingers are a more accurate than your eyes in this application. Wish you would have given your viewers some more tips on using a router, as they can be tricky for a newbie woodworker. Hobbyists might check their local rental shop for clamps, might save some money over buying them, maybe router too.

Great to see a video with length and detail! The 30 second build a speaker(or anything) video just doesn't work for me.

Very informative! Thanks so much.

Pete thanks for your great videos. Don’t shorten them, stay detailed. I want to build the Extremes but am a little uncomfortable with whole process. Do you sell the flat pack for extreme so I could try to pull off the build before I jump in with both feet...does not see Danny just sells the flat pack. Tried to look up Reference north audio but could not find a site.. thanks in advance. David Keys

Great video! I am planning on building these speakers for my home recording studio. in early 2021. You have provided good clamping points per quality fit thank you. I have ideas per some assembly modifications. What are you thoughts on the following. Mounting the configured crossover the cabinet with the wiring in place? l I don't understand why many who make cabinets don't do it this way to save some awkward contortions to get the cross over mounted well in the right place. The second item would be to adhere the norez dampinging in the cabinet panels prior to assembly as well again just ease of assembly. Last doing the routing edging on the panels ahead of assembly as well. Thoughts?

As a cabinet builder I have decided after one hour of watching to start drinking again. I shall return!

Thanks for the great video! My NX-Studio kit just arrived so I’m trying to do as much studying as I can before starting. I’m curious, was it challenging to install the no rez inside after gluing everything together? I was thinking of gluing all panels, except one side panel, together, installing no rez, then gluing the remaining side panel on. Is that not advised?

Very cool, wish I had the space to do builds like this!

Nice size for head unit for a 3 way too.

Thanks! I like to do that. But when I add up how much I have to spend on clamps I can buy some expensive finished speakers...

I’ve had a pair of these for a while now, they are really fantastic speakers (obviously, coming from Danny). Their bass only goes down to about 70 hz or so, so get/have a sub.

What does the Reference North Audio FP cost? Very thorough & well done video. Thanks!

Do you think the NX-Studios would be fit for a stereo setup in an apartment, without a sub? I am not interested in high volume at all, but I am curious if they have some bass and can be used as they are or just lack it completely and you require a subwoofer. Thank you, appreciate it!

How good are the analytical capabilities of this speaker compared to a genelec for example?

Awesome video. Thanks!

Is it offered already assembled and what the cost is?

I wonder if they would sound better with a port in the front or rear of speaker for bass?

Better than a knob would be a small strip of leather or cloth ribbon tacked to the underside and left poking up through the gap.

Anyone know of any musician gear that would power a pair of the NX-Studios well? Great video! I've been waiting to hear more about this speaker!

Great video/instructions. Am considering trying to use blocks and ratchet straps to clamp these up. Has anyone done this? Also, one method of removing glue squeeze out is to press sawdust into the freshly squeezed out glue. The sawdust absorbs the glue and rubs off the project--Next Level Carpentry (also on RU-vid) demonstrates this method.

*_Wow! ...There are always two ways to explain a process, one is simple, the other is confusingly complex... You have certainly excelled in the latter._* 👀

Hi Peter Love your workmanship! Are you open to building FP for me if i purchase from jay and ship to you? Thank you for your consideration.

How can I purchase this from you?

Thank you for posting the video but I can't see what's going on. As beautiful as your face is, we don't need to see it. You could film the whole video with a close up camera and this would help those who aren't confident woodworkers. I am an experienced woodworker and I struggled to see the important details.

Professional ! I would use books for clamps LOL

I knew it. It's all about licorice

Hi Peter! Very good videos. But why couldnt you build a floor standing encore with a little more bass. Kind Regards/ Mr Johansson

The only problem is I a going to have to buy $500 worth of clamps!

U are a pro and u made 5 mistakes ....I was thinking of buying diy speakers from Danny but from what I see wood work needs lots of money on clamps ...big set back

Hoover? no?why mask? too complicated? :)

TALK TO MUCH BRUV,

Great information thank you , I wish I had all those clamps 🥲
