OPThank you boostb for very kind words!
I met with Alex at Wavetouch Audio. He was a very gracious host and we spent hours listening and comparing our speakers while talking about all sorts of audio.
The Antero sounds incredible. Huge, spacious imaging with superb clarity and a beautifully smooth sound that sounds far far better than any $2400 speaker should sound. It was a real eye opener in more ways than one.
The Antero was very interesting that even though it wasn’t as accurate as my speaker, it sounded more pleasant to my ears. My speakers did not throw as big of a soundstage either, but had deeper and stronger bass. This isn’t a knock on the Antero, I’ve yet to hear a bookshelf speaker that can compare to my speaker’s bass.
Thank you, Alex for hosting this comparison. I wish the best for his business and encourage more people to hear his excellent sounding speakers.
The comparison listening lasted about 7 hours and I enjoy every minutes.
You have done a great (no incredible) job to make such a small speaker sounds grand. The mid-range from your speaker was particularly blooming and punch without harshness. Beautifully extended high freq. without the irritation was impressive. The bass was incredibly powerful and tight without booming. I couldn't believe it is very a small cabinet. All freq are integrated well with the right balance. The sound was great and very musical. Moreover, this good performance are with lowest budget amps and cables. I am impressed. I think your speaker will do even much better with better cables and amps.
Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors and enjoy the journey!
