Anyone own or have experience with these Aussie speakers?
A friend of mine is keen on auditioning the Eclipses so I might
go with him .. unfortunately a 500 kilometre commute to the Dealer. Cant seem to find much in the way of reviews and nothing about this brand on this Board.
.Maybe little distribution in the US ? Appreciate your comments.
CHEERS !!

I lived with a pair of Osborn Titans for about a month while my Hales speakers were in the shop for repair. Honestly, I hated to return the Osborns. Compared to my current Hales System Two/M&K 125 Sub combination, these speakers imaged better, had better bass, and had a much more lifelike and rythmic sound.I think that these are incredible speakers, especially for their small size. One note: They do need good stands to sound their best.
The Pedestal Titan Signature is felt and lead lined. If you liked the standard Titan, you have to hear the Signature - Outstanding. Lead lining the cabinet does something extraordinary to the sound - quite unique, never heard a speaker like it. Colin Whatmough lead lines some of his speakers, but never had one at home. The Titan Signature uses the same tweeter used in the Monument, the standard Titan does not.The Floorstanding Titan has more bass energy than the Standard Pedestal, but a tiny bit of the midrange magic is lacking...the usual trade offs being involved.
I believe Nuview in Canada distributes in Canada and the US. One US pub has reviewed the Epitome, Eclipse and the Titans.
A fellow member of the NJ Audio Society has these. {Very nice} If you send me an e-mail I will get you in touch with him. Happy listening.

Check the Titan Reference. It has the tweeter of the JMLabs Utopia and the special internal damping padding of the Osborn Grand Monument Reference, all for $4,800 and loves tubes.
I read some good reviews about the Grand Monument..they use Focal drivers..You can be sure that they are using the finest drivers..I think these speakers are not bad..You just have to check the price..It depends on how much you want to pay for them..they are selling the Grand Monument Reference for 20 000 USA$..that speaker is real heavy..170 kg...
