Ya its a tough ask given I think its the first speaker they ever made.

My dealer says they are spectacular.
Particularly with the sort of bass-driven electronica i enjoy

It makes sense - it is effectively a small PA speaker really.

I think relatively unknown companies coming to the market with very expensive gear may not be the best strategy. Might be better to start out with something budget that is awesome and build from there as you gain peoples trust.

The company has been around a while garnering accolades for close to a decade, expensive for sure but there is precious little (I've read none) complaint regarding value for money from anyone who has lived with their product.

ATC, PMC et all, there are many companies trading in high quality PA based speaker systems. There's a place for all sorts of taste. Will look forward to hearing them when this infernal pandemic business allows it. Don't know if they'll be my sort of thing but Angel clearly has a good ear so it'll be interesting to hear them.

A standmount popped up on their site a few days ago

Looks a bit four square but I expect it'll sound good.

I've had a play with the Isis M75 pre - power in my system.
They had a quality i had previously associated with Boulder, in that it made me want to hear more, to keep listening.

Before committing to a Boulder 2160 the AD Artemis was on my shortlist.
I have a lot of respect for what Angel does; apparently his new dac is also something special.
