another price drop!

Price drop!

Purchased both new in October 2022, haven’t used them since December though so I want them to find a more deserving owner… They’re in excellent condition except for the bent grill on one of them (doesn’t alter SQ). I prefer to sell as a set since I have no use for the BT adapter without the...

Actually sold them locally

I'm re-opening this listing and dropped the price, I'm seldom at home on week ends, these need to find a more deserving owner ^ ^

Post edited in regards to the stands

Thank you for the note @drabbish , I’ll double check the price in US for the loudspeakers only and edit the post. To be clear: no, I did not purchase the stands as the footprint was too large for my small space. Cheers, Arnaud

You've been through the round of high-end headphones but still crave that real soundstage width, depth and height with true immersion in the music? You got used to the tonal accuracy and speed of modern headphones and concerned you'd need to spend 10x more to get the same out of loudspeakers...

Fwiw, I also preferred the advar over the rai penta actually

Interesting to see nothing's really changed since the 2012 interview/factory tour :-). It speaks volume about how the high end audio industry with its low production volumes comes along mostly hand made processes. There must be a way to automate this QC with video and image processing but I...

Regardless of the correction being made in the time / analog domain or else, what’s puzzling to me is the obstination with working on a transduction principle that’s fundamentally non linear and charging a lot of money for this? I’m not talking about SQ as I did not go past the initial (still...

I’m still fighting a bit with ear tips as I tend to loose the seal when using these exercising. I think there’s no magic bullet here and I’d say these are good for cycling or walking but running is asking too much… Lately, I seem to have found the right balance between comfort and tonal...

After several days swapping around with the stock tips, I seem to be settling toward the SpinFit CP100+ S size as it tames the treble just about right and the bass emphasis is exactly what the doctor prescribed to cover up ambient noise. Been using them for running and walking, the later is...

I forgot to mention about the isolation! Actually I wanted on purpose some earphone that don’t isolate too much from outside and these do just about the right amount. I also disliked the occlusion feeling with some models I tested (the sony or at least the ie600 had that, that’s another plus for...

Yep, I recall reading your review and nodding on your suggesting to maybe shave a couple of dB off the advar's treble :-).
