Arx Speakers Now Shipping
I just got the news- the long-awaited Arx speakers from The Audio Insider are shipping starting today, June 16, 2010. I have my order in and will be reporting on them soon. This product has been anxiously awaited by many of your readers and I am happy to report that you can finally give these speakers a try. If they are as big of an improvement over the Acculine Speakers as they are cracked up to be, they are really going to be something special.
When I placed my order I was told the following:
- The prices are the same as the Acculine speakers, but sound quality is noticeably better.
- The speakers have a relatively long break-in period due to the new woofer technology, which I was told to be “the real deal”as far as high performance drivers go.
- They work really well with tube amps. These could be a nice match for the Neuhaus Laboratories amplifier.
- Placement is somewhat more critical than it was with the Acculines so experimentation and careful placement will make a big difference.
- No Arx subwoofer yet.
The latter two comments are to be expected from most any high performance speaker. I am anxious to hear these and you can count on reading about them once I have put them through their paces.
Prices are:
Arx A1 bookshelf speakers $249/pair
Arx A2 center channel $189
Arx A3 towers $499
See and order them at the Arx page at The Audio Insider. If you do order a pair please drop me a line and let me know. I’ll be interested in hearing your impressions since the Acculines were one of the most successful and well-received recommendations I have ever made.
