I listen in Munich for 2 years Epoque Reference,old model, 3 and 4 years ago and this year Divin Noblesse with Engstrom.
I liked a lot but didn't understood very well his sound like other big systems in Munich,for room,noise,song i don't know,amp,ecc,ecc
To understand you need to listen at home or in some shop of friends.
So was very exciting to listen with incredible combination with my CH and my rack.
Starting with Aeon Reference.
I was more excited to listen this because Divin series is fantastic,but is a normal speaker,even if has the technology of Bending Wave,that is their core technology produced in house,while the Aeon Reference has one carbon Bending Wave driver that is completely manufactured in house,starting from laminating the membrane,pressing under vacuum,complete mounting of the motor assembly,ecc,ecc.
I always liked one way speaker for his natural sound,even with his problems,so was exciting to listen this driver because start from 160 hz to 31.000 hz with 12 woofers ,small but very fast.
Oliver put 2/3 songs i didn't know so i kept the Ipad from Oliver's hand and start to find and to listen song i know and some i use in my system like reference song.
I was really shocked for the quality,sound was very homogeneous and fast.Driver very transparent and very natural,very big scene because this driver has a 180 degree of dispersion,with simple music very natural and also with big orchestra jazz and classic music all instrument big and separated and in Missa Criola the choir was very deep and very natural voice.
Bass was very fast and deep
We listen this speaker alone and then Oliver add the sub Before Petite with his crossover,cut at 45 hz.
Another shock.
Small sub has 8 9" woofer with 8 amp of 250 watt each,one for woofer.
I listen many times Klipshorn and some Basshorn from ALE in at least 2 system,Bass from big horn like Yamamura Dionisio,i had Krell Master Reference,fantastic sub,and i had for 4 years Sound Lab mono B1,electrostatic sub cut at 100 hz and driven by ML 20 bridge,400 watt,sub large 1.20 mt and high 2.20 mt each,cut at 100 hz with ML LNC 2 mono,so some good bass i listen in my life,but never listen as good like this.
Very fast,full and very deep,and don't dirty the bass and mid bass of the Aeon.I cannot image 2 of this,or the bigger,double than this.
This sub will be fantastic in all others system and can be sold separately .
Fantastic also the Aeon Before Controller,a crossover completely analog,where can select,the volume,cut,phases,ecc,ecc
After dinner we listened from 21.40 to 24 the Divin Noblesse.
I was happy to listen,but already satisfied with Aeon and his fantastic driver,so less interest than before,but when put some song i know i listen immedialty another incredible speaker.
With his 95 db efficiency sound exit very fast and easily from speaker,bass and mid bass full,deep and natural and tweeter with big pressure and very very transparent.
Seems to listen an horn speaker without the problems of horn speaker.
Mr. Pozzi of Audiograffiti was also shocked because never listen a better speaker in his life.
He was first distributor in Italy of Avalon and Magico,so listen all the top models,he sold 2 Wilson Alexandria,and many big speaker in his life but never listen this quality.
He is thinking to become Italian distributor,but problem in Italy there are big crisis since some years and is very difficult to sell this speaker with the price list of 195.000 euro,even if he tried also Gobel cable with top Mit cable he has,is European distributor of MIT,and liked a lot Goebel cable.
But he is crazy,so is thinking if do,also for prestige.
I listen many times in shop or from friend Avalon Isis and one time the new Saga,Magico Q5 and Q7 and the M Project,Wilson Alexandria,Viva horn,Big Marten,Avantgarde Trio with 3 or 4 Basshorn,Acapella Triolon and the bigger,Yamamura Dionisio,and many others but this 2 speakers are at another level,of construction and sound.
First thing i would like to buy the sub Baforce Petite,but is impossible to bring with his 210 kg to my room for 2 bad and small ladder.
I never will buy one of these 2 speakers because first are too expensive for me,and then if i will win a lottery will be near impossible to bring in my room,at the last floor of my home with 2 small ladder for their dimension and big weight,but sometimes is good to dream.
If someone ask me which speaker of this 2 i prefer,i don't know,both are fantastic and i didn't understood which i prefer.
Regards
