«  A little disappointed »

Hello all.

I do not use this system but I have several times (20) had the opportunity to hear a variety of music styles (jazz / pop / rock / electro / techno)

And (at the risk of making some throw stones I find it a bit bland see light. A very analytical side and tasteless.


By precise against, again this seems highly scalable system
(More from the new series with ARCS boxes directivity different great idea!)

Let me explain:

I think the heads sound super loud and lacking punch in the low frequency (60Hz to cut it if I remember correctly ....) and I find a big hollow dynamics from 60 to 120Hz.
It feels especially on modern styles and is certainly not annoying on more traditional or classical music.

The medium are (see very very) dynamic that is not bad, but will ask users to limit somewhat the case for medium worn below 10m because it picks severe.

treble them are very fine and precise

Finally, the sub starved of violence ... conversely they have a linear response and precise, from 40 to 80Hz sound is round and velvety nothing wrong .... but too much finesse ... I regret that it causes little "Quake" (earthquake effect)

The stereo image is very clean, not being a fan of the line-source system that I find very consistent at various clew and even moving (my taste then that most of the line source give sensation phase and inconsistency when one moves and even has some sound horribly wrong clew).

Far be it from me to disparage this system I only give my opinion and without comparing other systems other brand aillor by the ARCS system has been the basis of many current systems (point-source line-source) because the magical process of coupling boxes has reduced opening (> 40 °) have revolutionized the design and construction of modular systems equally.

Note to APG and Kyu Audio are two French brands that are worth visiting and which are partly inspired by the revolution led by Mr. Heil.



Places where I could listen to this system are:

-Jazz in Vienna (since 2000)
-The TransClub (Lyon)
-Various Festival in Rhône-Alpes
The Bouc-Fest (Mornant)
-Dantesk (Eurexpo)
