Aurum Cantus ....anyone heard them?

I've noticed some postings in other forums about these speakers.Especially the AURUM CANTUS LEISURE 2. From what I gather these speakers compete with the Red Rose Music RoseBud II. Has anyone auditioned or own these? If so whats your impressions? Also how many WPC needed to make them sing? I believe these retail for $900.00 but can be had for less.The RoseBud II(Levinson's company) is $3500.00 retail.Here's a link for those who haven't seen them.http://www.aurumcantus.com/english/

Any an all feedback appreciated!

i heard the AC L2Ds at my place...in stock form, they are underwhelming in sound but look fantastic...i believe an owner in colorado got a pair of L2SEs which had an improved crossover and an upgraded woofer yet was still not all that impressed with them so he sent them off to Rick Craig of Selah Audio to have the crossover reworked...after receiving them back, he found them to be much more to his liking...

doodleboytoy,

based on the AC L2Ds i heard, i would describe them as recessed, but smooth. certainly not bright.

Gmood1,

i can certainly understand your friend dumping his N805s...i've never been a fan of the N805 or any b&w i've heard for that matter...too bright and thin sounding...that nautilus tweeter is fatiguing to listen to for long periods..
