New pricing as of late 2018 is 399€

Aesthetics:
Wonderfully crafted housing with accents that scream "worth the price tag" everywhere. Let's see if this promise holds true.

Bass:
The Bass dips deep and controlled, sounds metalic though, not as good and vibrant as a Zensor 3. Simply not as expressive as i hoped it to be.
It basically sounds very lean and can only sound good by trying out a new distance from the wall.

Mids:
When it comes to spoken words from male or female singers, they are very expressive about it but dulled due to the excessive peak at 14khz which make it appear unnatural again.
The general fidelity is very good though. It's the major pro of the speaker.

Highs:
As mentioned before 14khz which is stubborn to not be unheard on certain songs with my speakerautism.
Any other else, the highs sound a bit like a forced extension all the time, that's to be decided by subjective ears i guess. Overall impression is not realistic though, more try hard'ish.

Soundstage:
 The speaker let's you forget about their size, they have a really broad and deep soundstage but the image is very
 wishy washy, you can't pinpoint the instruments like i was used to on my prior set of wharfedales 225, not to mention on my allpraised Argentum 520.

Conclusion:
The General tuning of this pair leaves much to be desired. Transitions from Bass to Mids to Highs is simply wrong sounding, hard to explain.
Then the peak at 14khz makes up for constant ear ringing, also you really need to keep your distance or it will hurt your ears since the highs attack you with a knife.

Sidenotes:
The What-HiFi awarding actually has no value in the idea of awarding a speaker when it does not sound as good as previous released speakers to consider as i figured.
