On a Dutch website the list price is €12,900.

For the purpose of clarification, the speakers retail for $13,500 the pair.

Hi all, thanks for your comments. I've still not set the speakers up properly yet. At the moment they are sitting on oak cones about 250mm off the floor on a concrete hearth. I've run them in for the reccommended 100hrs at -12db on the AM-77 ( mono signal, white noise with speakers facing each other to cancel out the noise).

My impression is that they are still fairly bright with not a lot of bass. They have smoothed out somewhat and they are doing somethings extraorinarilly well. My room is huge about 90sqm so perhaps the bass is getting a little lost. It still remains to be seen, when I've eventually set them up, how they work in my room. Consensus is that they will take around 500hrs of playing to really settle down. The speakers are like works of art in their own right so I'm prepared to bare with them, they have had some great reviews and I'm hoping things improve more.

Having said all that I'm very much enjoying them now and they've certainly taken me where I wanted to go.... a more " detailed " presentation than the martin logans I was using. Thanks for your interest. I'll let you know how I go.

FYI local rrp is over 20k New Zealand Dollars

Borg - as a long-time fan of standmounts, I can tell you that the stand is absolutely crucial to the sound of the speaker, especially the bass response. Don't even think about evaluating them when haphazardly placed on various shelves in your home. Ask your dealer or AMR which stands they recommend and purchase a pair or something similar. Otherwise, IMO, you've wasted your money.

Thanks Chayro. I agree with you....
I've been talking to my local dealer and the AMR techy guys( AMR are great to deal with ) and they've been advising me of speaker stands that would suit. They've reccommended a pair of partington superdreadnaughts filled with two part epoxy resin, impregnated with steel ball bearings. they also advised that the poured concrete approach should work very well. I'm enjoying making the stands, but if they dont work very well I'll end up importing a pair of the AMR reccomended option. Partington stands are not available in NZ. I am committed to getting the best out of the speakers they are fabulous things. Even getting them at the corrcet hight will make a big difference I'm sure. Thanks for your comments.
