am selling my prized World class Amphion Argon S3 monitors better known in the professional studio world the 1-18. Amphion hand builds these in Finland .
These are 87 db efficient but a very easy load these are in a beautiful European Walnut
1-1/8 thick Baltic birch , solid like no other you will find ,unless spending $$
Like new except for where they sit on the stand.
. Please see the reviews then add A solid 15% to this Night and day better then stock.,anyone That has been into audio long enough knows the Xover is the heart of any loudspeaker . This speaker uses only World class Seas drivers from Norway,
And a rear Tuned Seas passive radiator hand matched to the front driverfor = push pull Bass response.from beyond 25khz to a solid 40hz in room very detailed and tight bass and very room friendly these are phase correct in room ,the very smooth detailed Titanium tweeterThe wave guide is 6.5 inches to match the mid-Bass driver.
These Loudspeakers were totally upgraded throughout in June. This transforms a very good Loudspeaker to a World class speaker ,these have Jantzen Copper foil inductors ,
The best resistors in the World - Path Audio for added resolution Jantzens excellent AluminaZ cap capacitors for the tweeter ,transition,Clarity Copper csa midBass capacitors ,Cornell Dubilier bypass capacitors.
All drivers tuned to within 1.5 db 3x better then average and all Xover parts matched with 1% throughout. And all wiring is Neotechs best 6-9s-0 Crystal Teflon Copper wire.
Mundorfs best $230 high purity copper gold Loudspeaker terminals Cardas top silver solder . This Loudspeaker just disappears in the room I have used 25watt tube amplifiers to large solid state amplification ,all are seamless with superb musical integrity.
Electronics guru Radu Tarta built this,it was a $1500 upgrade with labor.the Amphion speakers were $3k in walnut , I am out of work and had to breakup this second system .my Big modded maggi are in my Den. $2150, OBO Thank you .
