What's up with Lii Audio/ Lii Song?

[abraxalito]

Its quite a normal thing that the copier passes themselves off as the original, or at the very least blurs the distinction between the two.

If Lii Audio and Lii Song are not the same product, manufactured in the same town and the same facilities, that’s news to me, to Decware and to Caintuck Audio.
That’s all I got.

Well I don't know all the particulars, other than what I read on the Fast 15 thread, but...

Here's the website of the other guy (it's very slow, you may have to reload):
https://www.lii-audio-hifi.com/
He now is selling some of his stuff on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/AVPLAY-FAST-15-Frequency-Speaker-50-80W/dp/B0C3GRFJTK/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=lii+audio&qid=1703523181&sr=8-3&th=1
I ordered a pair of these on Dec.26th, and they came in yesterday. China to Va. Beach, not bad. Haven't hooked up yet.

I keep finding better options locally. The GIP GPA driver I found earlier has a very high voice coil inductance. P Audio is also Thai but has a reasonable reputation abroad. I found this driver (GST-181200) that seems a bit more refined and am considering using 4 of them per side in Ripole configuration. That should be enough bass for a large room I guess.

X max is only 6mm but with a total of eight 18 inchers that still is significant displacement. Moving the speakers will be a b*tch though.

It's not news to either Steve or Randy. It came up on the Decware forums a year or so ago. They both seemed to just shrug it off. https://www.decware.com/cgi-bin/yabb22/YaBB.pl?num=1670446678

Those look equivalent to the drivers available on the AliExpress 'flagship store': https://www.aliexpress.com/store/912608241
Lii Song's line is significantly different. Of greater interest here than who's on first is how any of these other than the Fast 15 measure.

Found a 9mm xmax version of the same driver. I guess two per side in Ripole configuration should suffice.

For me... Some of the finest drivers for the money indeed.

So I take it then that this is the real Lii

Web page & FB page with the link to their web page.
https://www.lii-audio.com

As opposed to anything else.

Isn't that just saying that Liii Song, the company, and its associated website (lii-audio.com) were both founded concurrently in 2016?

i wouldnt take anyone who sells 15-18" "fullrange" drivers seriously at all. never should such a size be used near even 1khz, any tweeter on the planet would destroy it. there are also cheap selenium compression driver mids to make it a real 3-way with far better performence.
