heard the real ACI Sapphires...good speaker, but the sound was nothing that really engaged me...attack was rolled off as was the uppermost octave. this roll off resulted in a sound that lacked detail, airiness and transparency...
Sapphire Audio speakers anyone?
Hi,
I went to a Tweeter store to audition the Monotor Audio Silver series and the dealer also showed me a brand I had not heard before, Sapphire Audio. (www.sapphireaudio.com). This is a new company, the ST3, 5-way model is in the range of $1300. To me, they had a great soundstage and detail, but the mid/high-mid was a little too forward and at high volume, it sounde harsh. Has anyone auditiones these speakers? DOES THIS COMPANY HAVE A FUTURE? I am trying to find a good match for my Jolida 502. Any advise on these or any other good matches in the $1300 range would be welcome. Thanks!
