Had some anxiety on how they would go given the less than ideal environment they are situated but from what l am hearing they are coping fine The LM 805 seems to push them along nicely Do you know what sort of run in time they have? Not sure about the Titans as I was running in the Cyber 880i amp that I also purchased from Greg at the same time so hard to tell if the amp or the speakers were changing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very nice wood grain there and no doubt sounds amazing! Can you tell me, do you have any strategically placed acoustic treatment behind that canvas print or just the print itself? btw don’t let this response get in your way of savouring the moment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden eared wife is impressed with the sound and the looks. Life is good Saw this pair being made…. They look great! The side view of the grain is magnificent also. Hope you’re enjoying them.

Thanks mate, the timber and finish has really come up better than I could imagine and I am really grateful and appreciative of what Greg and the guys at his joinery ( I think its Arana ) have produced. It did take a while due to the lockdowns and also they took some extra time to find a veneer with a nice grain to it as it can be quite variable with the Sassafras. It has real depth to it and the clear coat it amazing. Photos are hard to get the full impression as @Jakeyb77_Redux could understand. My daughter did the painting and I have thought about putting something in behind it and probably will do in the future to help with reflections. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Extract from Osborn Loudspeakers Facebook page: " It is almost certain that I will retire at some time in the next 12 months, and Osborn Loudspeakers will be no more, but I am comforted that they will thrill so many people for so long after I have gone. But I will still be here to help all my customers and friends with anything, and to take care of any unlikely warranty situations, all will be honoured as long as I am still with us, which will hopefully be some time yet." Shame, it will be the end of a successful Australian speaker company. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Anyone else sneak an order in before the Nov 1 price increase? Paid a deposit on piano black Interludes. Have been thinking about it for a while and the 10% increase pushed me over the line. Hopefully I can get an order in for a few other things before Greg’s retirement.

Would have to think there is a few that have been on the fence that are now taking the plunge. I am glad I beat the rush. I have to say that i am more than happy with the Titans. With about 50hrs on them now they are sounding fantastic from anywhere in the room. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jventer Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I actually phoned Greg as I am interested in upgrading my speakers. It was interesting/concerning to read his posts on his website and FAcebook - he has done the hifi community a huge service by selling his speakers and othe things at such a small markup. My view is that he is serious in retiring. Would suggest to everyone interested to jump in ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did mention 5 pairs of speakers needing to be packaged and 7 invoices to go out. Can’t wait to experience his work. Like you mentioned, I’ve read a lot about how good his speakers are anywhere in the room. Greg claims a very wide sweet spot. Should work well for my application.

realysm42 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I just want to give a massive shout out to Greg for his stellar customer service; I told him about my move back to the UK and he organised custom cut foam and sized cardboard boxes for my speakers, free of charge without me asking for this. Oh yeah, he drove to mine and dropped it all off as well. This is for a pair of Epitome Tower references, so not a small amount on material. Noone else does customer service like this and it should be applauded! 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrkropotkin Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Hi all, Interested in thoughts on Osborn EOS Reference Elite. I want some new boxes and would love to keep it local. Currently using Elac BS.244 bought new about 8 years ago. About to book in a listening session but thought I'd post here first. Is there an owners thread i cant find? I can't find anything but positive reviews etc so getting excited. ATM using Yamaha A S2100 and or Sansui AU D9 integrated. Rega RP3 with Primare R32 phono, Marantz CD6006 and Rotel RCD 1570 and various DACs but mostly use vinyl and shiny little vinyl. Thanks, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankn Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 There is a single post in the Osbourne Owners thread talking about auditioning the EOS Reference Elite, the EOS Reference and Titans. The poster preferred the Titans, purchased, and is very happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawks Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 What sort of room treatment have you all gone for? New owner, I have the Tower Epitome Elites. Lounge room is 4m x 5.5m. Its not perfectly square as there is a doorway that extends 1m into the room. There is also a feature timber wall in 1 section and im looking to see what if any sound treatments you bought for your room/speaker combo. I plan to build a more dedicated space in the future so im looking for panels and other things that i can move into a new room later down the track. Off the bat its a little bit of a how long is this piece of string in my pocket question as every room/placement will sound different and require different treatments. Just wondering if i can get a feel for a running theme, like you cant have to many bass traps for example... So far i bought 2 Deep6 bass traps.

I'd suggest starting this discussion in the Room Acoustics forum. Room treatments are not really speaker/brand dependent, so not really relevant to this owner's discussion thread, but more room dependent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush 2112 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Hello fellow Osborn owners, I have recently purchased a Consonance Reference 8 Pro Music player from Greg and I am having trouble getting Tidal connect to work from my phone. Spotify connect works perfectly. This is a screenshot of the Consonance web browser interface and you can see that Tidal is not like the others. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks I tried that. According to Tidal support, Tidal isn't compatible with Consonance which is disappointing. Very strange that an expensive Dac/ streamer only works with Spotify connect ie i can connect my phone to my steamer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
