I heard you want a super serious speaker for your smaller room. It can’t be big, but that’s fine. You can’t play crazy loud in there anyway. Yet you still want fantastic resolution- without being bright to toast your ears.
You might want it for music only. You might want to tie in your TV’s sound as well. The point is, you want the quality of sound you’d expect from a big and expensive system, sans the BIG part. The answer is Amphion of Finland. It even comes in color. There are a numerous creative style options.
I don’t care how big your living room is. If your lady won’t let you play how you want in there, what good is it? It’s time to claim some man cave space in your house where it is YOUR turf. Loudness isn’t the issue. QUALITY is.
Amphion is built in Finland with a TLC you simply can’t get from a mass production house. Amphion pays attention to all the minute details of speaker building.
Please visit the yellow Amphion speaker tab near the bottom of our home page.
When you add them all up there is a substantial improvement over what the big names can provide. TLC pays off.
Amphion casts a very broad and deep soundstage. It is RIDICULOUS how these little guys can fill up the wall in front of you, leaving no hint of where the cabinets themselves are. When you play a great live recording like “The Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra” – wow!
You can hear not only the musicians, but the space AROUND them. Amphion purveys the space of the room, while most other speakers mask it.
Further, Amphion’s tonal balance is markedly smoother and warmer than the far east garden variety fare. They won’t wear you out! The benefit of stellar articulation with no biting edge is that you get noticeably superior intelligibility without the typical brightness that accompanies it and causes fatigue.
Amphion builds its own drivers, cabinets and crossover networks- in its own plant in Finland. They do not bring in a bunch of Chinese parts to “assemble” and blast out the door in tonnage.
Whether you choose to get serious about the sound of TV, or you want exquisite music without slam and bam, please consider Amphion to heighten your aural experience.
Argon Zero uses an Aluminum Bass-Mid driver.
Helium 410 uses pulp fiber.
If you can swing the Zero, you’ll be rewarded for deeper bass and more taut control.
