Requesting info on Audio Kinesis ZEPHRIN Speakers

Fellow A'goners,

I am contemplating purchasing these speakers designed by Duke LeJeune.

I have read several favorable reviews and been in contact with Duke. He is a very sincere and gracious person for sure.

I wanted to see if I could get feedback from any A'goners out there who might have these speakers and would be willing to share their experiences with me.

Also I was wondering if any owners of these speakers might be open to allowing me the privilege of hearing them in their system. I live in western Michigan near Muskegon and would be willing to drive several hours in any direction to do so.

Thanks so much!

If you are willing to work with them over time, I think anything by AK is a winning proposition in the end.

Duke is one of my favorite posters here, always knowledgeable and makes sense, seems very unbiased and open minded, and appears to go the extra mile to bring the best solutions possible to the home audio market for reasonable cost.

Disclaimer: have never heard these speakers, but I like the way they look. :-)

That's an interesting story to me. I have a small 12x12 sunroom that I have been challenged to conquer acoustically for years. It's my wife's room which limits options. I documented in my system thread recently adding a pair of isoacoustic monitor stands that seem to have finally solved the problem using my small triangle monitors, low placement near the floor for bass reinforcement, slight upward tilt and the isolation aspects of the stands. Results in terms of clean bass spacious soundstage and overall clarity and imaging are off the charts compared to anything else I've tried there.

Any east coast ak dealers? Baltimore would hit the bullseye.

I was interested in the Mapleshade stands until I saw the Isoacoustics. They are designed for pro use so no fancy materials with those but nice enough looking, similar functionality if used with monitors as floor stands, a fraction of the cost, adjustable, and most effective.
