AVI Speakers - Any opinions or info

I owned a pair of avi Nu Neutrons and they were incredible speakers,now known as the Neutron IV.I,supposedly upgraded, to the Pro Nine Plus (£400 GBP more expensive) and for me the magic that I had disappeared.I sold them and bought the Neutron IVs and they astonish me.Listening to Roger Waters album Amused To Death is an unbelievable experience.There are sounds being heard metres to the right of the right hand speaker and to the left of the left hand speaker.Look at the dimensions of this speaker,it is incredibly small,but dynamics and vocals are astonishing.If you led somebody into the room blindfolded and let them hear my system and then took the blindfold off they would be astonished when they saw the speakers.Of course,the bass extension is not that of a large floorstander,but the bass that is there is tight and musical and well defined.Well thats me done.I am in England,and I swear to you that I do not work for AVI but I love these monitors.

For Woodpecker: the Neutrons are doing their disappearing act very well but that is what someone can expect from a very small monitor, it is one of the general qualities (and fun factor) of a small enclosure. If you close your eyes the good quality floorstanders will also disappear (I mean sonicly ;)) and it also depends on the recording itself (like Amused to Death). Dynamics and vocals are indeed astonishing btw.

For Agisthos: the review can be found on their website http://www.avihifi.co.uk/choicereview/choicereview.html and describes the system, with the Trios, pretty well.

Hi,

I heard the Neutrons about 3 years ago. I have owned 2 pairs of Spendor S3/5s and heard the Harbeth P3s and my impression at the time was that I would take the Neutrons over the 3/5s or older P3s, thinking they were more extended and neutral but I don't know if I would have the same impression after extended listening. It may be that the treble is a little too bright, which can sometimes cause a mistaken impression of more extension.
