New Acuhorn speakers arriving - anyone heard them?

I'm getting a pair of Acuhorn Biancore 155 speakers, and will be mating them with a pair of KR Audio 6000 tube monoblocks.

Here is a link to the site:

I'm guessing the match will be great and that the speakers whould be a nice step up from my Audio Physic Virgo II speakers that I just sold, but I wanted to see if anyone has heard these before? I took a bit of a gamble as I've very little experience with horn speakers, but am hoping I'll be rewarded. Can anyone share any first hand experience of these speakers? Also, any advice on placement would be valuable too (do they need to be far away from the wall etc). Thanks.

That's pretty brave of you buying without listening first. I hope you'll get rewarded too, and let us know.

Hello, That's pretty funny, but sometimes by making crazy discussion like that they ended up just Fine! GOOD LUCK.

I have a pair of the smaller Acuhorn Secco145 on order... without ever having heard them before. The Biancore 155 was a real chocker for many at High-End in Munich 2005. I hope that the Secco145 have a little bit of the same qualities.

I think you will enjoy them very much. I had a pair and am now getting in the 175's. Since the 155's have the same driver in the back they do require a bit of distance from the back wall to "breath". The 155's are best for classical music, it is not a rock & roll speaker.
HAPPY LISTENING,
Steve
