Heh, explain what "meaningful" youtube content is... I make videos as a way to bond with my son and daughter. I use audio as my subject because it is something that interests me. I don't have any delusions of becoming an influencer, nor do I pretend my content is in anyway scientific, nor do I have any sort of regular posting schedule. I just do a project with my kids every now and again. Possibly my bad as I can see how the term "good youtube content" can be ambiguous. I would argue "meaningful" is just as ambiguous as it will have a great deal of personal meaning to me. As far as the blind test, I would hook up both speakers. Play one and the other, see if he can tell a difference. I don't know exactly how much work I would put into it, as there is not really going to be anything scientific about it with only one subject anyway. It would be a fun afternoon though.
As far as Danny Richie goes, when I said he was respected in the high end audio community, I was specifically referring to his speaker design. As in driver design, crossover design, cabinet, etc. If I mentioned the name Dennis Murphy, I don't think anyone one this forum would have issue with it. When Danny Richie designs his stuff he talks about BSL, time/phase coherence, driver perimeters, backs everything up with endless measurements. All stuff that should go into speaker design, even if he is eccentric about component "quality". There were several kits I was looking at from parts express, madisound, etc. This was the kit that interested me the most.
I think Swerd hit an awesome point to, if I decide I want to sell these later on, "GR Research" means a little bit on Audiogon, I might get a couple extra bucks. My woodworking ability on the other had might subtract from that.
