Thanks for the update, Clint. This is very considerate of you. Those guys at API really did manage to distance this series from the Athena Audition 2 series; that old ASF2 was just too good. By the way, I like my roseNUT finish hand rubbed...eeek!

Ohmage.

Interesting. This will be in addition to the Connoisseur line? There were rumors of the original line being discontinued.

I hope Audioholics can get a set of these for review!

is there any energy reviews on the way? I really what to read one on the veritas I 2.4 towers. I heard them, and they blew me away. They had this midrange like I have never heard before. Non coloured, or harsh, just beautifully smooth, and un noticeable, just blended in with the whole bandwith of the speaker.

thanks alot,
