I had Amphion Xenon back a decade or more (edit: well, two decades) and really enjoyed them. Beautifully made with lovely veneer. In retrospect you could hear the metal cones and some box but they did a lot right for the dosh. Fond memories…

The wording of the ad put me right off. Always trust your senses.

Ohhh, they are wonderful things:

When I was a PhD student ā€œBallbag Collegeā€ was where the most keenly underwhelming of young academics were reputed to have ā€˜trained’. Their ability to polish a turd was unsurpassed. My lack of career success is clearly due to my more mainstream training and interests.

I’ve never been convinced by Sven’s SE and SE+ upgrades. They seem extortionate price gouging mechanisms for the paranoid to try to chase tiny percentages of percieved improvement. I’d rather have the W8s than the illusory upgraded W5 SE+.
