Amphion Loudspeakers


Has anyone heard these? Is there a distributer in the United States. Reviews in Sounstage and Audiophilia suggest these are pretty special speakers for the money.

From an expert at harmonicdiscord.com:
"Amphion is distributed in the US by:
AudioPathic
9108 Yonge Street
Richmond Hill, ON
Phone: (905) 886-7810"

I wish if they and other manufacturers are going to offer a selling point/theory - UDD? in this case - that the site would explain it more fully.

They do look nice. Some people rave, not Sensible Sound in their kind of one-off sounding HE 2002 coverage, (which also dismissed the Swifts).
Hi,
I auditioned the argon 2's in cherry at a local dealer in the Boston area.They were there on loan from the dist.
I ended up buying them.
I drive them with a audiomat prelude 30 wpc tube intergrated and use a vbt alpha dx bass extention unit.
The soundstage review is right on.They are a combination of detailed and musical.
They are not room fussey as I have them in a 22x22 room.
The build quality is excellent.
Hope this helps,

I own the Amphion Xenon in black finish...full range ..floor standing.. Very impressive and stylish look and refinely built. Sound wise I am so impressed..the voice accuracy..the timber...Not room fusy at all as the manufacturers claim( 15x12). I intend to enjoy them for quite a while. Bought from a dealer in New York

I heard a pair of Xenons...they were a bit boxy sounding (last thing I would have expected, given the special cardioid radiation patterns that the manufacturer touts) and not all that impressive in the treble. Maybe it was the dealer's setup, but I'm not interested in them anymore.

I hear that Amphion will be coming out with a new top of the line Krypton speaker.
Because I have been looking for speakers so long, and still believe I may find a hi-end speaker that is truly unique looking and great sounding, that this type of post is irritating. If these speakers are so great why have they not entered the mainstream competition with other hi-end speakers?? There was a thread I started several weeks ago,asking about Gradient speakers which seem to be another one of those "wondrous" and "lost" companies that are going to break onto the hi-end scene like an erupting volcano.If you review the drivers used by Amphion, they are standard polyprolene units, and so you have another speaker that sounds like Mission, Energy, Verity, Paradign----all good companies, but many have the same sonic signature. So let's get a grip when we intend to announce another "breakthrough" product on the audio market. Visibility and credibility count for something in this business.
