GR Research N3 Speakers - Sean, are these your cabinets??

Just came across this thread on Audio Circle.

Sean, are these the Fallen cabinets you would be using to build and sell Danny's N3's? Wow, I really like the grey - gorgeous!

... those are nice!

We will be supplying the networks for these only. Fallen Enclosures will be the final sale point for them

As a relative newbie to this hobby I'm finding it confusing trying to figure out who's who? Danny is of GR Research and designs speakers, Sean is the Ninja and sells upgrades and also Onix, now I find Reuben who's from Fallen Enclosers, then I've been to the Elemental Design website, Seaton makes subs?, there's Craig who has a website and a couple of products, I've come across Salk (what do they make?), and I'm guessing there's many others as well? Is there a thread anywhere that explains all of this - sort of a who's who of internet direct audo? Was interested in the N3 speakers but can't figure out all my build options or even why someone like Danny just doesn't completely build the speakers in the first place - hence, I'm finding it more simple to just go the conventional route of visiting my local audio salon and buying the Maggies. Thanks. I know, keep hanging out on these forums and sooner or later you'll figure it all out

It is confusing for sure.

GR designs speakers - they are not a speaker builder. Danny designs speakers for an array of companies so that keeps him plenty busy.

Skiing Ninja builds networks and supplies networks to companies that don't want to run 500 PCB's (that is the general minimum).

Fallen Enclosures builds cabinets and will be the 'dealer' for the finished product which includes GR N3 kit and Skiing Ninja built networks.

Skiing Ninja will also likely be able to sell finished N3's as well as other GR speakers. We already sell finished N2X's for just under $1K.

Salk is their own company that designs and builds excellent speakers.

Hey. Thanks. So there will be a place to buy finished GR speakers - one stop shopping and that will be Fallen (a.k.a. Reuben) and Skiing Ninja? Correct? Seaton (who's that?), Craig, ED, Kevin (you do sub mods is that right?) etc. Or are they "competitors" to the above named people? Those grey N3's from Reuben still have me drooling . . . anyone want to comment how on they might compare to my Quad 22L2's, or the new Maggie 1.7's, or the Onix Reference 3's, or the Mini's for that matter? Looking for a comparison.

Some are competitors but we're all a big family really.

Have not heard the N3 yet - just the N2X. Never heard the Q22L2's either, nor the 1.7 - just the 1.6. Sorry I can't run a good comparo for you. Maybe someone else here can.

Thanks!

Sean,

Still very much interested in these - I could delay that decision on the Maggies . Do you have any idea as to when these N3's and all the cabinet options will actually be available? I don't believe Reuben has a website up and running yet does he? Just curious what the anticipated release dates will be. Or is that a question better directed to Reuben?

Thanks,
jrz

Sounds good John!

N3's - That would be best directed to Ruben as I don't know his time frame. Sorry!
