“Stereophile is one of the most discerning high-end audio magazines, and their reviewers among the most critical. When I received Bob Reina’s review of the\u00a0Aon 2,\u00a0<\/strong>(Stereophile – November 2013)\u00a0I was as blown away by it as he was with the speaker! I found his introduction discussing his meeting with Saul Marantz very apropos, for as many of you know, Saul was both a good friend and mentor of mine.<\/div>\n

As I started to go through the review today in order to pick out some of the best quotes, I realized just how difficult a task it was to choose, as the whole review is just one blockbuster rave after another. But I’ll try, beginning with…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
“…as much detail as I’ve heard with much more expensive speakers”<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and,\u00a0“the lower midrange had a warm richness that made it sound like a much larger speaker”<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and similarly,<\/div>\n
“the Aon 2s low-end extension and naturalness through the mid bass also suggested a larger more expensive speaker”.<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of course getting into the specifics, Bob waxed eloquently that,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The range from ppp to fff was breathtaking through the GoldenEars, and I was taken by the silky, uncolored male and female voices, which floated holographically over the orchestra during even the most demanding passages”<\/strong><\/em>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He also loved the way,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“each note was surrounded by a delicate, airy envelope”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and the way,“all transients were lightning fast without losing any of their delicate subtleties”.<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He then raved that,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“the bass response was forceful”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and\u00a0“I could hear the skin of each drum resonate after each attack, but without any smearing”.<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As I said, the raves for our little\u00a0Aon 2<\/strong>\u00a0are just stupendous and go on and on and on. But you already knew how great the\u00a0Aon 2<\/strong>\u00a0is, for music and of course home theater, when paired with our new\u00a0SuperCenters<\/strong>.
