Comments on Amphion Speakers, Please


What do 'Goners think about Amphion speakers? I am considering buying a pair of Creons but I haven't heard them and the nearest dealer is many hours away.

My main concern is that their metal tweeter could be harsh or bright. I just can't listen to harsh or overly bright speakers. They drive me out of the room. So if anyone has an opinion on them I would appreciate hearing it. Thanks.

Picking up this thread late but I agree with KClone.
Amphion are essentially neutral, stunning value. The idea that they sound "metallic" comes either from a well-known psychological association (metal drivers have to sound metallic, orange-glowing tubes sound warm) or from a genuinely bad pairing (or room resonance, etc...).

I used Amphion Argons with solid-state amps and the result was stunning. I rate the brand quite highly.
