Strength:
Balanced sound all in all. Sounds good no matter if listened quietly or loud. And if loud, it sounds good also behind the wall. Ask your neighbours, and they’ll love it. Weakness:
Uglier than my face, and that’s bad. Turn the light off and enjoy. Purchased: New
Model Year: 2003

I hear classical music. And I have these loudspeakers since 2005. Prior I had top Polk, but I think these are lovely superior with smooth treble and honest mid range. But I have had to complement with a subwoofer only for te very bass range and the results were absolutely satisfiying, with a flat response. I strongly recommend these speakers. |

These are very good speakers, with excellent tweeter and mid range. Just try to listen Enya or Sarah McLachlan and you will see what I'm talking about. With Peter Gabriel Security Album bass sounds amazing. I use it with Luxman 1000m amp, which is only 50w per channel. I paid 600$ for them and believe me, there are not speakers on the market above 1500$, which sounds like Aegis. My recommendation! |

Strength:
imaging is nice,good channel separation i always listen to my music flat! lows are tight and well projected mid highs have a very broad frequency response and nice array of detail. any type of speaker will speak itself differently depending on the system they are matched with,here is my setup: rotel ra-971mk11 integrated amp. rotel rcd-961 cd player. custom made interconnects,copper with silver coating unshielded. bi-wired with:custom made 8 strand copper&silver cables driving the low frequencys:van den hul D352 hybrid cables driving mid's and high's you can always upgrade for something better but considering the price i paid for my setup i am more than satisfied!
Weakness:
highs could cut just a little more trough the mix they could have a little more definition and the high end of the mid range is less articulate when played at realy high volume..but to me these are minor details when i consider all that these speakers can offer for their price. if you can spare the amount i spent on these speakers,go for it is what i say! i auditioned them by pure luck at a hi-fi shop close to were i live. i heard they had a sale so i went to check it out!(needed to replace my old b.w dm602's). the owner told me to just audition them because at that price i just could not get something that sounded that good overall. i sat down listened to some classical up to heavy rock,half an hour is all i needed to decide to take a pair back home. so i did,and still after 6 months of listening i am still very impressed. i do not regret my buy at all!!!period.

solid build,good looks,bi wireable good clean sound nuff said. ah yeah price.
Weakness:
cannot go as loud as my infinitys. I auditioned several speakers polks, b&w I was looking for a good sounding tower speakers to replace my infinity bookshelfs and not spend alot. all I have to say is for$500 bucks I don't think I could have done better of course the b&w's did sound better alittle for twice the price.I was at the store today and they still have two pairs left for $400 a pair great deal if you are curently looking for some great sounding speakers.although you will need a good amp .I am currently using a denon avr2801 and sony es cd player.

Strength:
Clean, clear crisp sound, that appears transparent with an excellent soundstage.
Weakness:
For £350 in England, you cannot buy a more transparent speaker, but I am sure specifically modified speakers can be tweaked to appear better. My advice is Bi-Wire these speakers with something like QED Silver Anniversary on the treble and QED Original on the bass. There is no point in Bi-wiring with the same type of speaker cable to each section. Silver has better transport properties for higher frequencies and copper is better for bass. FACT. The speakers do take a good 100 hours minimum to run in. Do not expect them to sound their best straight from the box. They come pre-loaded with fine sand. Give them room. They are OK in corners where needs must, but given the option, give them good room. Similar Products Used: Acoustic Energy 309 (very good but over priced), Missions, Jamos. |

Strength:
Good Bass and excellent midrange. Sound/price.
Weakness:
Lack of clarity in highs. Using a Rotel-971MK2, SonyCDP-XB930, Supra Ply 3.4S speaker cables and Red Dawn interconnect the Aegis three´s perform really nice. A couple of months ago I moded the Sony with a new Master clock; L Clock XO2 which made a big approvment on the sound. |

Strength:
Incredible imaging, and soundstage depth.
Weakness:
5 way binding posts that, due to their confined recess, will only accept banana plugs easily. Forget spade plugs. For $700 dollars a pair these speakers are incredible (even more so since I purchased a pair of demo's for $599!) . So far every aspect of their design has had me auditioning my entire CD collection again. The bass is tight and never boomy, the midrage is smooth, detailed; dynamic; I am honestly hearing midrage detail that I never heard before. I thought Mirage had a smooth and sweet tweeter but, after listening to the Aegis, I'm returning my OM10's. Similar Products Used: Various Paradigm |
