- The Aegis Three, a true flagship of the Aegis Series. This powerful 150 watt, 3-way, slim-line floor-standing speaker uses the award winning tweeter and metal alloy mid/bass driver system design from the Aegis 'One' and 'Two', with the addition of a new 180mm vented polymer chassis with a polypropylene cone for the bass only drive unit. The mid/bass driver is reflex loaded through a flared port to the rear whilst the bass only unit is housed within a separate enclosure and reflex loaded through a high power flared port to the front. Factory-fitted mass loading is supplied in the base of the cabinet in addition to base plinths and 8mm spikes for optimum stability and coupling to the floor. The result of this impressive flagship system offers the discerning listener ownership of a product with awesome scale and depth coupled with a level of detail and clarity unequalled by any other loudspeaker design at the price.

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. Similar Products Used: 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.

from Westtone Audio, Falk 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. Strengths: Good Bass and excellent midrange. Sound/price. Weaknesses: Lack of clarity in highs.
