SVS Ultra Monitors or Golden Ears Aon3 ?


looking for musical bookshelfs, looking for opinions on how these 2 compare, a little concerned about off axis performance of ribbon tweeters, but not sure about the new generation of ribbons, thanks

I went with the aons 3 and the supercenter X, I am so glad I did. I was downsizing to a smaller sytem, I used to have aerials all around, I was looking for a aerial type sound (smooth and detailed)in a smaller and less expensive setup, when I auditioned the aons 3 I was hooked, they need some time to break in, but once they do, they are fantastic, I am using them with a HSU sub (great combination)my next step is to decide on rears, the super sats, another pair of aons, or buy the sevens for the fronts and move the aons to the rear, oh well, it never ends
Congrats. I think those will give you what you were looking for. I've heard both the Aon 3s and SuperCenter (plus a GoldenEar sub) and was duly impressed with the natural sound and the smoothness, resolution, linearity, and extension of their HVR tweeter. Much easier transition from electrostatics than to a dome tweeter. MartinLogan uses a similar tweeter when they're not using electrostatics (as in their Motion series).
a little update on the aons, I am so impressed by their sound quality, after years of spending thousands on this hobby, these speakers make me feel like a fool waisting so much money, also, the bass is so good and correct, I am using them at full range and have sold the sub, also have sold the seperates and am using a pioneer elite sc 65 with excellent results.
