Has anybody seen or heard the ARS/AURES speakers


I heard these speakers at RMAF with Art Audio gear and the sound was beguiling. I noticed that they have impressed at a lot of shows (on their website) but have not seen any coverage of them here on Agon. It doesn't hurt that they are also stunningly beautiful with their painted cabinets.

A few years ago, a local dealer had in the Ars Aures Sol (in referring to the speaker, he shortened the name to the unfortunate, "Ars Sols"). I thought that these were quite nice sounding speakers. They had a reasonably lively sound without being overly prominent in the midrange. The expensive "Revelator" tweeter on the speaker was particularly nice -- fast and detailed while still being quite smooth and non-fatiguing. They must have been reasonably efficient because they were being driven by pushpull triode amps (300B or 2a3s).
I will have a pair of Midi-Sensorial in Aubergine colored for demo in a couple of weeks here in the Rocky.It just received the best of 2005 blue Note Equipment Awards from Enjoy the Music.

I have a pair in Concert Piano Black. Teamed up with a pair of Joe Fratus Art Audio Quartet mono blocks. Had them for about 2 months so almost run in. For me it doesn't get much better than this.

I"ve had the midi-sensorials for about a year now. Very revealing of the recording and equipment, but almost always lovely and musical. Fairly dynamic and detailed. Enjoying them very much. Bottom end is good for a speaker of its dimensions, though I have added subs for better foundation in my large listening room. Cosmetics sculptural and luxurious.
