The Audio Exklusivs, high WAF, I was disappointed when I heard them at Munich because they seemed to have low bass. However I heard them today in a proper room and true to reputation they had an excellent bass. I heard the Apogees yesterday (see Apogee thread), and could not make out a difference, maybe the Apogees go deeper, but hard to tell. Anyway these had a much better midrange, and I think I might get these. The P3.1s retail for 8k Euros, and the 6.1s retail for 16k, so I will get a 3.1 used, which should be the same price as my Summit. Of course, if I don’t like it as much I can always go back to a newer Logan model (no, not the Neo, I mean the Ethos/Montis).
They were driven by Audio Exklusiv pre and power, which together retail for 9k euros. Very cheap, excellent set up.
Limitations: You can’t crank up the volume for a really big room.
Compared it in the same room to the Analysis Audio Epsilon. The model higher than the Epsilon, Omega, still remains my favorite speaker, but at twice the price. All the panels I have heard so far play the music at kind of ear level, and it seems horizontally linear compared to the Omegas. The Omegas do a huge soundstage, by far more than any of these, and violins can be seen swirling around the room from top of the speaker. They are 6 feet. These Exklusivs were around 6'6", since I am 6'2, way taller than me. Looked sexy. So it's a toss up between Omegas and the Exklusivs. That said, the Omegas I heard were part of a seriously expensive system, driven by SET amps of 120w. Rock is better on the Exklusivs, but orchestral is better on the Omegas. Omegas are outstanding for piano as well
