In detail
It’s not the size of the dog in the fight … ~ Mark Twain
Love listening to music, but not have enough space for large loudspeakers? The answer is our bookshelf Argon1 home audio speaker. This loudspeaker proves that even a small box is capable of filling space with big sound. Thanks to Argon1 bookshelves, you can experience truthful and complete sound representation typically associated with much larger home speakers.
The strengths of Argon1 loudspeakers are their reference-speaker quality midrange resolution and surprisingly low-reaching bass response. With these bookshelf speakers you can enjoy a powerful, yet remarkably detailed 3D sound in small to middle-sized rooms. Argon1 bookshelves offer you the typical features of Amphion Loudspeakers – neutral and musical sound reproduction.
Argon1 bookshelf loudspeakers are suitable for a full range 2.1 reference system, 5.1 surround sound home theater, or a nearfield desktop setup. In any listening situation, you can enjoy uncolored, natural sound that will allow you to dive deeper into your favorite recordings and discover music nuances you never thought could be revealed by such a small box.
Argon1 bookshelf speakers rely on the laws of acoustic design and not on “sound enhancement” electronics that interfere the signal path. This allows you to position them with ease, setting them in rooms with various characteristics, yet still keeping optimum performance. Argon1 loudspeakers guarantee high-resolution sound and music transparency throughout the whole home environment.
Media reviews
“The off-axis capability of these speakers is almost impossible to match..”
“Amphion, with its north star as ‘…an open window into the music’, has achieved its goal in spades. For the second time in my life, I am indebted to the Finnish people in all of their manifestation, one physical and one musical.”
“…elegant, classically Nordic appearance…”
“The Amphion Argon1s delivered impressive resolution, seamless blending of their drivers’ outputs, and alacrity in dynamics and limning soundstages. Another strong point was their tonal neutrality, especially in the midrange..”
“…the most focused soundstage I’ve heard…”
“If I’m being honest, its looks alone are enough to make me interested, but luckily the speakers sounded excellent to my ears too, with some of the best spatial presentation I’ve heard from a compact pair of passive speakers.”
“…incredible clarity, exceptional imaging, and deep bass extension.”
“I am firmly of the opinion that a subwoofer makes any stereo pair of speakers better for numerous reasons, but this is the first bookshelf speaker I’ve auditioned that honestly doesn’t need one.”
“The midrange in particular is exceptional.”
“…remarkably entertaining little speaker. Its ability to drop into even fairly confined spaces and show off its strengths of speed, clarity and musical joy in any environment is sure to win it many friends.”
“The seamless speaker.”
“It handles positioning, room conditions, genres, partnering equipment and source material better than most making it extra attractive for anyone who uses their speakers in a living area.”
