Is anyone out there familiar with Amphion mini monitors..? Can anyone give a run down on their plus and minus points..?

Plus points (based on my experience with owning Argon2 and the Argon3):

* Huge soundstage
* Easy to drive
* Neutral and clean from top to bottom
* Play well at low volumes, yet go VERY loud, with no real distortion to speak of
* Not room fussy
* Real insight into the music, great balance between musicality and fine detail
* Walks all over equivalent 'usual suspects' Spendor, B&W etc.

Negatives

* Perhaps a bit restrained on the leading edge, snare hits etc., if I’m being picky
* Maybe too cool sounding for some tastes, some people might want some more warmth, but this is massively down to synergy. The Argon2 was a bit warmer than the 3, but the 3 was more detailed.
* The Argons are much better than the Helium, Ion etc, but more expensive. The Argon1 isn’t as good either.
