I was wondering why the Amphion thread at the purple place keeps going and going. Then I checked "Karloff"'s posts. .... 15 pages worth |

I was an early adopter of the Amphions. Ended up reviewing them for TapeOp. I think they're great tools. But I haven't been to that thread in a long time. I don't really have a reason to now that I'm no longer searching for monitors. I do remember Karloff being very enthusiastic about his Amphions.

at least with Steven you know exactly who you are talking to and why he says what he says: he's ok in my books: everybody else, unless you know them, who knows ? I only look at gs classified now. |

Cheu posts at every mention of Avedis over there. Belmont is a broken record for Aurora Audio. Ya that makes sense and I have seen with my own eyes what you are saying. Aurora audio gear to me is phenomenal and the gtq2 aside from sound is the best featured 2 channel pre/ eq in its respective price category. I knew there was bamboozling going on over there but not to the extent of paid hype posting. I "won" a plugin via a GS contest recently and to claim my prize they want a student ID and some other weirdo directions. Completely turned me off and made me feel like some scam. |

Amphions sound like good speakers (only hesitate because I like silk dome), but most experienced engineers are able to learn how any capable speaker translates. B&W, Quested, Genelec don't sound alike. Good mixes done on all of them, just a fact. |

What did you use before and what improved when you got your Amphions? Also, do you use another set of monitors with your Amphions? Some people are comparing the Amphions to NS 10's. Have you used NS 10's and is that comparison accurate? |

The Amphions aren't nearly as mid forward as the ns-10s. I used ProAc Studio 100s...the ProAcs were the slightest bit more strident in the mids, the Amphions a bit more pleasing and revealing. Fantastic sound stage. I also use a sub.

I know you were asking Johnkenn but I have one 18's and don't get the comparison to ns 10's at all. The ns 10's are basically known for how terrible they sound and if you get your mix sounding good on them : you are golden. The amphion are designed not to sound good but to sound natural, un-hyped and honest in the sense of reflecting your mix accurately. Name the speaker in the under 3 grand price range and I either probably auditioned it and or owned it in the last 5 years. I am really appreciating my one 18's no sub. I would recommend that people try the amphion without hesitation to see if they work for you, just be aware of the different physical characteristic of the different amphion monitors as they perform differently. |

My neighborhood is full of Architectual firms, Law Firms, and Ad Agencey's, "viral marketing firms" come and go quicker than trendy restaurants. It pays to be a shill but not well, almost as well as song writing in the age of the Internet.
In the end our industry is small very small, everybody knows people use shills, and people give gear to those they deam worthy of creating a buzz.
Nothing in the world pisses a dealer off more than working their ass off only to have a manufacturer give it away.
Shills make big sites turn so they tolerate it, without it no new post, no new posts no eyes, no eyes, no ad dollars.
I have always posted any possible conflicts, and have most critical of those manufacturers I have had relationship with, but that's just me!
