I have the Amphion Argon One in at home now for about 4 years now. The price is a few 300 euro’s more then I bought my pare. I made the mistake to buy my Marantz amp with the intension to use Bower and Wilkins speakers (after a review). So when my dealer gave the message the the Marantz deliverd to him I asked him if he could set up the amp with the speakers that I in mind. That was a disaster, the B&W sounded much to agressive in the highs. So I went for a search and I had a listen to 4 speakers: Kef Ls50, (with I lovend), Sonus Lumina, Kef R3, a Horn loaded JBL and the Amphions. Although I loved the Ls50, the Sonus sounded to harsh, the JBL could not convince me and the Amphions: they spoke to me. I was in love with the sound and they sounded even good with Rock, Jazz, Electronic and Classical music. Voices so clear and fine, good bass, great mids. Even at this price I buy them without a doubt because they are sounding so good even with low listening levels. Greating, Ludo Belgium
You mentioned that the argon one is not the best speaker for lower volumes. I almost always listen to music at low volumes. What speaker do you recommend for this purpose?
From the speakers I've tested so far best for low volumes are: 1. Quadral Chromium 35 2. Sonoro Orchestra (if you sit a bit further from the setup - AMT can play in your face sometimes) 3. KEF Q150 (LS50 Meta might be good as well but haven't listened to it for long enough to determine) 4. Quadral Platinum+ Two (last one, but with fantastic overall balance in tonality). Maybe Sonus Faber Lumina 2 as well, though I don't remember it that much - its been a while.
good review but the amplification you use is not mentioned... it is key to have an idea of what to expect... question: where did you get the speaker stands ? they look great
NAD 320BEE with slight modifications (better capacitors etc.) - I've used it for all of my reviews. Its on the list of best amps ever made in 21th on What HiFi. Thank you, stands are handmade :D I couldn't find anything worth buying on the market so the only option was to put it together on my own: some curb (4 - each), custom orderered particle board, joints and you're set :)
If they were cheaper - yes. 1600 euro seems way too much for such a small speaker. Soon, I will upload review of Quadral Chromium 35 on the channel - better price/value to me.
