I heard the Asteras just briefly but what impressed me the most (really -it was shocking!) is how the sound doesn't go straight at you. Yes the reviews, comments, brochures will say stuff like "the speakers themselves disappear from the scene" etc, they will always do. But I thought that was true in this case. Guess it has to do with the angles the wood's been designed and cut where there's almost no single straight line and so the "air" doesn't circulate in one highly condensed direction.

Hope to be able to audition the Asteras a bit more this/next week, as well as the Adamantes III.

In any case I found these intriguing as they are a bit different from the brands or approaches we usually discuss. The least popular.
