I'm using SF Signum's right now and I'm quite happy with these babies but I'm also curious what might happen with AP speakers? Are they so good someone (ie. reviews) claims? People with Audio Physic speakers - please let me know. Have anyone compared these two brand and specially these models side by side?~
Follow Ups:
I purchased Spark III three weeks ago and absolutely love them. When first setting them up they sounded harsh with no bass but after 50 hours or so they broke in nicely. In my opinion, the bass is very strong and the midrange is not overdone but has great detail and life. I have read that people think the treble is rolled off but I disagree with that statement. As for placement, the dealer where I auditioned them placed them far apart also and I do as well and they work great. Feel free to email with questions.
Hey there...I just listened to the Spark and Tempo IIIi last week, at the U.S. distributor's retail location in CA. Retail is $2500 and $3500, respectively, for the basic finish (oak or black, I think). Cherry adds another couple hundred. The cabinets are beautiful. Both models are have single binding posts.I thought these AP sounded good, but I wasn't thrilled with the midrange on either - imo, voices sounded smoother and more "real" on some other brands I've auditioned recently (Dynaudio, Joseph Audio). The dealer also had the AP's positioned very far apart - further away from each other than from the listening position, from what I could tell. I don't know if this made a difference, or if it's something particular to the AP. There's a white paper on www.immediasound.com that might explain. They were also very far into the room, which is apparently recommended. Electronics included Rogue Audio, Hovland, and a Rega Planet.
From what I've heard about SF's pronounced midrange, the AP are probably quite different from your speakers? Give them a listen if you can, and good luck -- Steven
