They have a $350-$400 speaker in the AX One - I wasn't a fan of the old one but only heard it once. I also don't know what the drivers are mad out of.
SS won't be a problem because their copper wired and apparently sold as all rounders. Still, I would say they're better with SET or Tubes or "soft" SS - lower DF - lower feedback types.
But they sound really nice with Trends Audio Class T amps - under $200. Good sound can be had on the cheap - just have to turn over the rocks to find it.
Do your best to try the AX Two - if there is a better speaker of any design under $1k I have yet to hear it. And most in the $2k range are in serious trouble - and I say most I mean "most"
I am running an Audio Space Mini-2 EL 34 in Triode on them as I type this. Just try them. Good ol boring paper woofers LOL soft dome tweeter in a "pseudo" horn "pseudo" transmission line. Then listen to a $5000 B&W 805S. Embarrassing really.
