i have "vintage" caldera II. When they came out in late 90's they were considered as a pretty good speaker and designed to compete against the Wilson Watt. They actually share a driver (scanspeak). I purchased them this year off agon for a great price. I have been very impressed with the sound. I dont know how the Classic line compares but the caldera is the best speaker by far i have owned
Audio Physic Classic series
Hi, Im wondering if anyone has any experience with or thoughts on the Audio Physic Classic series.
I was able to audition the Classic 20 recently, briefly, being driven by PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP. My take was that they were a pleasant, lively speaker. I'd guess their frequency response isn't the flattest around, but they just sounded lively, not wildly inaccurate. Bass definition and detail was impressive, all the way to the bottom of the speaker's range. Treble was perhaps not world-class, but avoided all traces of harshness. The speakers managed to portray the recordings I heard as an organic whole, without sacrificing too much detail at all.
OF course, a short audition can be very different from long-term experience, so I'd love to hear from anyone who knows these speakers.
