ARS Acoustica rank on some best lists. Any else?

They are a very samll company located in Toronto.I heard the speakers and yes they are the best I have heard.
Not lickly to get reviewed by the Audio press.

I heard the ARS Acoustica speakers demonstrated in my home some 4 or 5 years ago. At that time, I, and others who heard them thought they were very anemic in the bass and far from the best available speakers at that time. The frequency balance was not quite right at all. So all I am saying is that if they are now the best speakers available, they have certainly come an awfully long way since then. Hopefully they have addressed the bass inadequacies, at the very least. I also heard them at an audio show, where I thought they sounded better than they did in my home, but still not what I'd consider world class. But again, that was then and this is now. Still I am wary of such hyped-up claims.

They are not intended to be full range speaker.
They really shine when paired with an Entec class type subwoofer.

I know soemone who has heard this speaker extensively, and says it really is not all that...

I heard these speakers at the Stereophile show in 1996 in NY. They were called the ARS Gravitas Max. They look like the Wilson Watt Puppies. They were being played on Lamm Amps.
The speakers were fast with a nice midrange and the bass was fast and tight. It was top notch speakers.
They were designed by Irv Eisenberg

I have heard them during the HiFi Show in London twice, and then in the friend's system.

They were driven by Trilogy 958 amps, and at the time I thought they sounded fantastic ... much better than the WP of the.

Here's a pic of the ARS Gravitas Max.
If i remember correctly, they used three 9 inch woofers;
2 in the front and one in the back.
