Need Impressions of SoundKaos Vox
Hello All,
This is my first post here on Audiogon. I have been very intrigued by SoundKaos Vox 3 speakers (both 3F and 3A). Since there aren't many reviews or discussions out there, I would like to know if any of you members own any of these (Vox 3a or 3f) speakers or have auditioned them/heard them for good amount of time. In case if you do, then also please let me know of the chain that was used with them and any comparison to other speakers that you may have owned previously or heard.
Looking forward to hearing from someone.
Regards,Saurabh

A note of Avalon speakers. These use the older generations of Accuton ceramic drivers. I have heard a lot of speakers using these Accuton drivers. The result is extremely clean audio, but in my opinion these Accuton drivers are too controlled and don't have enough dynamics and excitement. The newer models of Accuton are better, but I still feel that they are not yet as dynamic sounding as other speakers. If you have not heard these directly, I think it would be really hard to make a decision on them. |
@auxinput thanks for your input on Accuton drivers and Avalon speakers. I doubt there is any dealer of Avalon in India (so is the case with many good boutique manufacturers), so listening to them is going to be very difficult. Besides these are all floorstanders which are not going to be feasible given space constrain & they are going to be way out of my budget as well (if I decide to buy a new one). Getting a used one is out of the question duty weight, size and customs (custom duty plays biggest role while importing audio gear here in India). Even if any dealer is having Avalon here, its surely going to be exorbitant (most items are sold at 50%-100% more price than US price, forget about dealer price at which they get). Do you remember anything about SoundKaos Vox which you heard at California Audio Show in 2019 and liked them. Your input would be very valuable as real world users/listeners feedback is almost non-existent for these speakers. They are very attractive to me from design standpoint as well as being very tiny and not much of weight (approx 10-11 kg) makes them viable option for considering the option of Import as well. Besides whatever review I have found are positive. Regards,Saurabh |
so I managed to get review from one member in other website who had heard them at the same show. Below is the link to that mini review. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/my-informal-speaker-reviews.935612/page-11#post-28051039 Regards,Saurabh |
I'd forgotten I heard these at the Cali Audio Show, but found the picture I took of them on July 26, 2019. They were good for monitors. Maybe a bit thuddy or thick in the lower mids. That could have been the rest of the system rather than the speakers though. Overall, it was a good room. Better than many. I'd probably go for the upgraded wide bander though. |
