Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 vs Quad 12L


Hello,

Very skeptical about the AURUM CANTUS LEISURE 2….
Brand from China, second guessing with my first experience,
Please advise and describe sound of AURUM CANTUS LEISURE 2 if possible because when I heard of the Swan M1 Monitors, they all said Smooth Ribbon sound, warm , relaxed and musical.

Well I have been listening to Apogees for years now, big ribbon buff, I also had the Divas ones for years so I hope you know where I am coming from, the Swans I bought was nothing to what people had described, they said let it burn in for over 80 hours, and guess what I did.
Its was hopeless, I did not like it and will never buy any of that line again.
The original Mission for $150 were better to be honest. The fit and finish of the swans were good and that was it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I am now wondering how would anyone describe the comparison between these two
AURUM CANTUS LEISURE 2 and Quad 12L?

I have no options to audition the AURUM CANTUS LEISURE 2 where I live so….

Thanks and appreciate solid state amplification responses with the system if possible

Thanks

You can improve the sound of your Mini-Grands with a replacement crossover. I replaced mine about 3 years ago and I'd never go back to the original crossover from Apogee. Times and technology have changed, but the ribbons are still far ahead of box speakers.
