Review 1 of 23

Price Paid:  $700.00 from audio club

Summary:
if you can spare the amount i spent on these speakers,go for it is what i say! i auditioned them by pure luck at a hi-fi shop close to were i live. i heard they had a sale so i went to check it out!(needed to replace my old b.w dm602's). the owner told me to just audition them because at that price i just could not get something that sounded that good overall. i sat down listened to some classical up to heavy rock,half an hour is all i needed to decide to take a pair back home. so i did,and still after 6 months of listening i am still very impressed. i do not regret my buy at all!!!period.

Strengths:
imaging is nice,good channel separation i always listen to my music flat! lows are tight and well projected mid highs have a very broad frequency response and nice array of detail. any type of speaker will speak itself differently depending on the system they are matched with,here is my setup: rotel ra-971mk11 integrated amp. rotel rcd-961 cd player. custom made interconnects,copper with silver coating unshielded. bi-wired with:custom made 8 strand copper&silver cables driving the low frequencys:van den hul D352 hybrid cables driving mid's and high's you can always upgrade for something better but considering the price i paid for my setup i am more than satisfied!

Weaknesses:
highs could cut just a little more trough the mix they could have a little more definition and the high end of the mid range is less articulate when played at realy high volume..but to me these are minor details when i consider all that these speakers can offer for their price.

all kinds at all prices!!! go for the A.E AEGIS EVO3 you wont be deceived.

Review 3 of 23

Price Paid:  $350.00 from Audio T

Summary:
My advice is Bi-Wire these speakers with something like QED Silver Anniversary on the treble and QED Original on the bass. There is no point in Bi-wiring with the same type of speaker cable to each section. Silver has better transport properties for higher frequencies and copper is better for bass. FACT. The speakers do take a good 100 hours minimum to run in. Do not expect them to sound their best straight from the box. They come pre-loaded with fine sand. Give them room. They are OK in corners where needs must, but given the option, give them good room.

Strengths:
Clean, clear crisp sound, that appears transparent with an excellent soundstage.

Weaknesses:
For £350 in England, you cannot buy a more transparent speaker, but I am sure specifically modified speakers can be tweaked to appear better.

Similar Products Used:
Acoustic Energy 309 (very good but over priced), Missions, Jamos.

Summary:
Using a Rotel-971MK2, SonyCDP-XB930, Supra Ply 3.4S speaker cables and Red Dawn interconnect the Aegis three´s perform really nice. A couple of months ago I moded the Sony with a new Master clock; L Clock XO2 which made a big approvment on the sound.

Good Bass and excellent midrange. Sound/price.

Weaknesses:
Lack of clarity in highs.
