Order Maddie

Maddie The New Record Day collaboration loudspeaker, built by GR-Research. A full-range listening experience without fatigue, glare, or artificial detail. Maddie was designed from the ground up to provide the most cohesive and natural sound possible. Instead of chasing exaggerated treble or showroom brightness, the focus was coherence, believable vocals, and a soundstage that extends beyond the speakers themselves. The rear ambience driver is not a gimmick — it restores spatial cues normally lost in conventional two-way designs, allowing music to breathe and instruments to exist in space.

True spatial presentation The rear driver restores depth and room cues often lost in conventional speakers. Coherent vocal reproduction Voices and acoustic instruments retain body, texture, and believable tone. Precision crossover design Carefully engineered to maintain phase integrity and seamless driver integration. Getting the Best From Maddie Maddie is designed to perform in normal listening spaces, but like any serious loudspeaker, placement matters. Start with the speakers about 7–9 feet apart and aimed slightly toward the listeners shoulders. Keep them roughly 3+ feet from the front wall so the rear ambience driver can properly develop depth. Small adjustments in toe-in and listening distance will noticeably affect imaging and tonal balance. A few minutes of setup will reward you with a much more realistic presentation. Placement guidance and setup assistance are available through GR-Research support and New Record Day videos.
