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!

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.

I have the AURUM CANTUS LEISURE 2. I bought them from someone in NY. They sound phenominal. They have a really smooth sound with a sweet midrange. They use a very expensive ribbon tweeter. This ESG ribbon tweeter costs like 300 dollars. They use a 5 inch carbon fiber midbase. They definitely need a sub for bass. I'm using a Velodyne HGS12 sub with them. This combo sound amazing.
