panel speaker help

thank you nsgarch. i had heard the analysis audio speakers at the SHOW, January 2006. I was somewhat impressed. I then contacted the importer, a very nice gentlemen, and as a reviewer, i was offered a very good deal.

my concerns include thin distribution, speaker made in Greece, repair issues, stability of distribution if the current distributor decides to drop the line, binding posts on back of speaker and compatibility with amp.

the epsilon retails for $13200 and even with a deal its not small potatoes.

i guess i am on my own, but all i can do is bare my thoughts. that is the nice thing about this forum.

hi rx8man, did you audition the speakers at a dealer ?, if so, which one ?

i find electrostats and apogees to present the timbre of instruments in a more realistic manner than other speakers. the original quad esl was especially adept at recreating the sound of an instrument, regardless of the electronics used.

magnepans have a lot of strong points, but timbral accuracy is not their most outstanding characteristic.
