opera audio consonance eric-3


Has anyone had the opportunity to audition these speakers?
Would they be a good match to my mcintosh mc2505?
My other options are Wharfedale evo30,Totem Staff,System
Audio 1750,JBL ti2k and ti6k,Opera (the italian company)
Platea,Infinity Kappa 70,Avance Dana 2,Canton Ergo802dc.

Any opinion would be appreciated as I didn't find any reviews or opinion on this speaker yet.

I heard these at THE Show in Vegas this year... Quite nice speakers for the money, and maybe the best floorstanders I have heard to date in the below 2K/pr. new class (most sub 2K floorstanders I don't care for as a general rule, these are a notable exception).

I believe the Eric-3s were powered by all Consonance electronics, so I can't make a direct observation on hearing them powered by McIntosh, but I am confident they would match fine.

Why you sneaky devil Bob... I *knew* I should have snatched those Eric-3s up when I was there first... ;-)

I *did* however walk away with a demo of the CD-120 player from that same room though... :-)
