It is an interesting system and with promising specification with 105db/W.

They had been for 14 years with making Analysis Audio Planar speakers.

Factory direct price of 24,000$ but with no return.

I shall find way to audition it.

I wish to get opinion from our members on the specification of this system.

That is the claim for high efficiency and I want to confirm whether it is true. But if so, it is a really nice system for SET amplifier.

Mike of Arionaudio claims that it can drive tower section with 2 or 3 watts 2A3 tube amplifier with enough sound in big showroom.
