There are these AMX made speakers that are on demo in Phasetron quad. THese are the same speakers I compared them with some Brithish high end speakers of 2 times the price. If you choice of speakers is based on your ears and budget these are the speakers. If pride of owning branded speakers is of important then get others.

audionote AN-E/SPx (pre AN-UK, Kondo split up)

silverline audio sonatina


I heard the Sonatina powered by 2A3's a few years ago.  Awesome. This speaker will kick the collective butts of the speakers posted here, my Triangle Altea Es included.  Will you sell them to me?  ;)

Butchoy.

Sir, the Aurum Cantus Leisure 2SE is a bookshelf with one 5.5 inch woofer and a G2 ribbon tweeter.  The Ikon 6 is a full 4 way floorstander.  Comparing the two of them might not be apples to apples eactly since they are not designed nor are they positioned against each other.

Perhaps it would be better if you compare bookshelf vs bookshelf and floorstander vs floorstander of the same size and design.  Also would be better if you compare them using the same variables (i.e. same amp, room and cables).  Happy auditioning and let your ears decide.

PEACE
