Ok, so I guess I wasn’t done with these. After a mechanical tweeter mishap, I looked back at the details Mike had provided me and the info here. I ended up reaching out to Axel at AOS and although the model is long retired and the information no longer on his website, he shared the xover...

No mention of the single plan??? Spotify has by far the best AI. I've been using it in the office, phone and car for years and its introduced me to so much new music in that time. Cost me a fortune in Vinyl and Cd's along the way ;) I use Qobuz on the Hifi but the AI and user experience is...

Hi, old thread but I purchased these speakers from Mike several years ago. I was always a bit underwhelmed by these when I got them home. I thought they should have been the last speakers I ever bought. I’d run them with various amp combinations over the last few years and I always thought they...
