Aurum Cantus ....anyone heard them?

I've noticed some postings in other forums about these speakers.Especially the AURUM CANTUS LEISURE 2. From what I gather these speakers compete with the Red Rose Music RoseBud II. Has anyone auditioned or own these? If so whats your impressions? Also how many WPC needed to make them sing? I believe these retail for $900.00 but can be had for less.The RoseBud II(Levinson's company) is $3500.00 retail.Here's a link for those who haven't seen them.http://www.aurumcantus.com/english/

Any an all feedback appreciated!

Hello Fmtien....I had a fellow Agoner nice enough to email me with his impressions of the SE version as well.He likes them so much he's dumping his Nautilus 805s! Thanks for the info..I am looking at the SE upgraded version.I may go this route and see what happens.

Thanks again !

People who have heard the Aurum speakers... care to describe its sound characteristic? Warm or bright? Just curious... since there is no way i can audition them but they look BEAUTIFUL!

doodleboytoy,

based on the AC L2Ds i heard, i would describe them as recessed, but smooth. certainly not bright.

Gmood1,

i can certainly understand your friend dumping his N805s...i've never been a fan of the N805 or any b&w i've heard for that matter...too bright and thin sounding...that nautilus tweeter is fatiguing to listen to for long periods..

They sure look like the Usher line of speakers...also made in Asia.
