DB3 is going to be more of a fun tuning. Much more bassier vs the NX7. Less detailed for certain but fun to listen to due to the bass emphasis.

I'm really hoping they dial down the mid-bass and boost the lower treble just a bit. With some EQ I liked the prototype quite a bit more than the NX7.

And now to the big guns: introducing the AME Custom Argent Universal Hybrid Electrostatic.

• Dual High and Super High Frequency Electrostatic Tweeters
• Four Way Crossover Network
• 6N OCC Pure Copper Silver Plated Cables

Frequency Range: 10Hz - 80kHz (Theoretical)
Sensitivity: 100db SPL (@1kHz)
Impedance: 19Ω @ 1kHz (DCR 62Ω - 43Ω)

Spoiler: Measurements

UPDATE: I listened to them for some but not enough time though to make any definitive statements (of course do they sound good and I like the sound) - but I know it will be a challenge for me to do justice to them as I am not really familiar with the $1000 plus territory. A good opportunity for a reviewer to grow.

But I know one thing for sure: I am really glad this is a demo. I'd feel very uncomfortable pocketing them in exchange of...you know the rest. In this case, honesty could mean admitting that the reviewer may not be able to cover all bases...that's why the attentive reader should look at the broad body of reviews to form an opinion.

Just spent 12 hours with the Argent - will measure them later today to give something on another rig. I really like what I'm hearing - these are extremely impressive.. Beautiful balance and extremely good detail. More later.

Got EARs on my doorstop waiting to be unpacked. I also like them (great resolution, nothing overbearing) but I don't know what the competition offers. plungaudio.com in Calgary also produce hybrid electrostatics, will check their stuff out in store next week. Great learning experience.

Thanks to @FastAndClean I'm finally able to hear what the fuzz is all about



Thanks again man!

Man, I an SOOOO gonna put my ISN C16 on the NX7 someday soon! The combo has such visual appeal! Love my copper hose. What are your thoughts on the combo?

Not a big fan of DM6 but I like the DH3 sound. Lively and engaging. Great for acoustics. Vocals are clear. BGVP nailed this one IMO.

How is the dynamic driver inside this? Overall, how does it compare to No.3 TI, oxygen and KXXS?

I feel the bass is pretty good. Quick decay and quite punchy. Perhaps not as full as No.3 Ti and Oxygen. The DH3 strikes me with more vocals presence and crispier treble in my brief listen with 2 switches down. Cheers!

@audio123 what about the soundstage of isn he40?

Any impression of the stage size and spacing of things??

Sucks for me, because I added the DB3 to my last order at list price.

Now $19.99 - $20.99

Don't know how I could've foreseen an upcoming sale. But my order has already been paid for
&
Apparently they changed their minds on the discount. As I stated $19.99 - $20.99

I did reach out to Nicehck. So I'll see what happens.

@audio123 what about the soundstage of isn he40?

The soundstage of the ISN H40 is pretty good. Very enveloping presentation with more emphasis in depth.

Any impression of the stage size and spacing of things??

The stage width is alright but not out of your head kind. The depth is moderate. This is for 2 switches down. Cheers!
