Lasciamo perdere i famosi e ultracari amplificatori della foto.
Quello che mi interessa e' l'ottimo loudspeaker.
By CES 2005:
The Russians were there in force and ready to do business. Audes from Estonia showed and demo'd some beautiful and gorgeously finished, musical speakers at $US2k although they had plenty more exxy than that......
Sonically the Orpheus is one of the best speakers systems I have heard, they have a midrange that's beyond words, an extremely smooth high frequency (one of the best I have heard), superb low level detail, amazing dynamics, unbelievable bass slam, superb craftsmanship and no short cuts in the drivers, crossover or cabinet.
The Orpheus speaker system did it again at 2005 CES show again, one of the top five speaker systems at once again. A true reference 3 way full range speaker system that sets a new standard in sound, parts quality and craftsmanship.
The Orpheus features the impeccably astonishing MILLENNIUM tweeter by SEAS, custom 10" and 6.5" drivers, extremely meticulous crossover assembly and parts like MUNDORF Caps and a unique solid cabinet design to perform flawlessly in any room.
Audes is a name that deserves to be more widely recognized for excellent speakers. I heard the Audes Blues ($2,500) and was lulled by the striking sound quality of these very attractive boxes. I was impressed by their pure tonality and overall purity. Strike one up for these Estonian-produced speakers. They promised to send me a pair for review, so look for that in a future issue.
La figura sopra evidenzia questo commento (2003 Montreal fair by stereotimes):
One of the first rooms I walked into was also one of the more interesting ones. The star of the set-up was Audio Harmony's modified Philips 963SA SACD/DVD player, along with their prototype linestage (seen above the player), with Audes Blues speakers ($2,500/pair) driven by a pair of Halcro DM58 monoblocks ($24,990/pair). While final pricing details have yet to be worked out, Robert Jendrejack of Audio Harmony says they are aiming for $800 all-in for the player and mods. I don't know who, if anyone, would use a pair of Halcros in a system with an $800-source, but in this room, the modified 963SA certainly held its own and was by no means embarrassed by its ancillary components.

...the Manley/Audes set up was quite good (as far as how systems sound in less-than-ideal listening environments). In general, I try not to describe what things sound like in expos because of these types of environments, but this setup was certainly engaging and did nothing poorly. Audes is apparently a Russian speaker company and were being pitched as great "value" speakers..
.The little Legend's were fine also. Of course, for $4K a pair they should sound fine. But, the Audes Studios came pretty close to the Legend's at only $995/pr.
I also had a reputable dealer recommend Audes 105 Speakers
.....Audes, the speakers from Estonia. Good sound for the money. ..
Valve sound:For speakers, I would look to Audes
Moderately priced: The Audes room with the $1000/pr Studios and $2000/pr Blues were quite nice for the $.
"Marvelous-sounding and modestly priced Audes Blues loudspeaker, with side-firing woofer. The bass from that woofer was a major factor in the Ultra Audio System Award, 1st Place decision." by Soundstage at Montreal fair 2003

Audes Blues Loudspeakers
Are you an audiophile on a budget? If so, I can't think of loudspeaker that offers the better performance at this price. The Blues is a very dynamic and transparent loudspeaker that provides accurate soundstage
reproduction, clean highs and articulate mid-range and bass response. This is a 3-way speaker with an MTM configuration for accurate imaging that uses a mixture of proprietary and top-name drivers, all enclosed in a hand-assembled, tall and sleek cabinet. The Audes Blues are a bargain at $2000 and perform with the class of a product costing much more.
From the first look to first listen these speakers bring to mind those esoteric “unattainable brands” that are just as famous for their price as they are for their sound. Yet despite the fact our Credos are painstakingly made by hand from cabinets to crossovers, and feature DHLabTM Wire for all internal wiring, MCapsTM Polypropylene Capacitors & both SEASTM & our own proprietary drivers, you’ll find that the only thing that’s outrageously expensive about Credos is the way they sound.
Ma anche il modelli 535 e 115-105 hanno dell'incredibile in relazione al prezzo.Non e' pubblicita' credetemi la vera hifi per tutti e' finalmente ad una svolta!
