Anyone listen to the new audio physics Kodex speaker?
Are they under $20,000??.   AP is noted for its grossly inflated retails prices which usually run far ahead of the performance of their speakers

Duevel's "Venus "Speaker or Shaninian's "Obelisk". Which offers the best sound quality?

Audio Physic Virgo I (or Virgo II): still considered a very good or great speaker?
trelja,   Thank you for the clarification.  Did you ever audition or hear the Audio Physic Sitara 25. This is one of several speakers that AP upgraded for its anniversary year.  Actually, a new model. I believe there was never an "original" Sitara...

Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own).
To helomech I checked out a few reviews of the Spendor LS3/6.  and also their website. They have  a published high-end spec to 17,000HZ.  That is no better than a Large Advent or Dynaco A-25.  In addition, some of the reviews were problematic abou...
