which monitor isn't lacking in the bass dept.?


I will be using audio refinement cd player, and the audio refinement integrated 65 watt amp. I listen to a lot of female voice along with electronic, jazz, blues and even the likes of rage against the machine. I might put on diana krall and the next minute listen to radiohead, so it really runs the gammut. So for the heavier stuff I like good deep accurate bass, but I have to use a monitor because of room size, 15x11x8ft. Or a small floorstander with good bass that won't overwelm the room, I don't want to spend more than 2000$ new or used. Thanx

Hi,
I just picked up a pair of these from KAVD and for the price they are a very impressive speaker.
I have owned JM Reynaud Offrandes and the Focus Audio 688 monitors,two very impressive speakers.
The bass on the Aurum Cantus is precise with depth and texture.
The g2 ribbon tweeter is one of the best I have heard and the driver intergration is excellent.
Fit and finish is excellent.
Kellsie AV Design is the importer and mods the speakers to achieve the level of bass and intergration.
He is a great guy to deal with and has them listed on Audiogon under KAVD.
IMHO these are a real sleeper.
I'm also going to give his Kavent/Shengya CDP a try.
