dupo1624705876 Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Hi all, I`m new in hear I`m usually writing in Israeli Forums but I couldn't get answear about two Aurum Cantus products that interests me , I`m talking about VOLLA Vs. V6F, I can listen to the VOLLA in israel and I going to do it soon but I have no idea how the V6F going to be and I can't Compare them , I really want to know what will be a better choice in your opinion and why ... I'm About heavy electronic music and jazz music. My setup: Source - Xindak Muse 2.0 Integrated - Xindak XA 6900 thanks alot, Adam :)
Guest francis woo Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Hi Dupo, I have auditioned the V6f but not the Volla. Can you tell me whether you using the speakers in your bedroom or in your living room. The reason I ask is that the V6F is a big floorstander and requires a lot of breathing space around it to sound its best. Given the space, the bass is just nice, tight, controlled and tuneful. The mid is warm, very engaging especially on vocals and the high is well extended, very sweet and clear. Wud suggest pairing these speakers with tube amps. The Volla is using the premium G1 ribbon tweeter which wud sound better in the highs. However, being a 2 way design, it wud loose out to the V6F in dynamics and sound stage. BTW, how much is the Volla in Israel!!
dupo1624705876 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Posted October 1, 2007 thx for your quick answear! , My room is 3.5 X 4.0 miters , Do you think the V6F will fits to this terms?? , The VOLLA in Israel it`s 14,800 Shekels If i'm not wrond and I think I don't but i'll check again to be sure. If I understood you actually tell me that the VOLLA will be better just with the Highs cause the better tweeter? and you think the V6F will be better with all other parameters?
Guest francis woo Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Vow, that's US$3,700.00 for the Volla!!! Given yr room size, IMO, the Volla wud be a better choice. But for that pricing, I wud go for the V3M which is much cheaper. If you're dead set in getting the Aurum Cantus speakers, I wud suggest that you email Mr. Arthur Tse of HiFi Tone Hong Kong to order any Aurum Cantus speakers and ship directly to you (arthur@hi-fi-tone.com) cos for that pricing, you can get the V8F with some loose change.... :D I am only assuming that the Gi ribbon wud sound better than the G3 given the premium tag and material used.
kelso1624705851 Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 I think for a 3x4m room the Volla would be sufficient plus like Francis said its using the G1 tweeter.
dupo1624705876 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Posted October 1, 2007 Hi all, The question now that if I can get both of them at the same price which one should I take but please take my terms to your answear not just value for many , how much the V6F costs in your country? and if you have price for the VOLLA it will be good. thanks alot :)
Guest francis woo Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Hi Adam, I am not sure of the local pricing in Singapore as I buy my Aurum Cantus in Hong Kong. Currently, I am using the Leisure Mk 2 SE and have placed order for the V8F. You can check the latest pricing of the Volla and V6F by emailing Arthur Tse at Hong Kong. Given the same pricing and the room size you mentioned, I wud go for the Volla..... :)
dupo1624705876 Posted October 2, 2007 Author Posted October 2, 2007 And if we are consider the room size? :P
Guest francis woo Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Adam, not sure what you meant here. Like I've said, based on yr room size and the kind of music you listen to, the Volla IMO wud be a better fit. Personally, I wud go for the V3M which is value for money vis-a-vis performance. Wud suggest you get yr Dealer to agree to home demo in order for you to pick the right speakers. Good luck in yr quest.
dupo1624705876 Posted October 2, 2007 Author Posted October 2, 2007 Sorry, I ment that if we are not based on my room sizes , What will be your choise
Guest francis woo Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 In that case, I wud go for the V6F for more dynamics and sound stage..... :)
dupo1624705876 Posted October 6, 2007 Author Posted October 6, 2007 What Amplifier and CDP are recommended to use with V6F ??
Guest francis woo Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Adam, I am currently using the Mingda MC34-A06 and MHZ CD-88, Harmonic Tech Interconnect and Belden 1313A speaker cables driving the Leisure 2 Mk2 SE beautifully. If you do get the V6F, suggest you stick with yr current Xindak CDP and Amp to drive them and see how it sounds. Can always change and upgrade later as matching is more important. Arthur (I was at his Show Room last Thursday in Hong Kong) told me that you have requested for quotation. Hope he has given you a good quote!!!!... ;)
DanDon Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Juz listened to V6F at Hi-Fi Tone. Clear and sweet. :P
Guest francis woo Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Bro, can you check with Simon or Arthur what happen to the Marigo Signatures that he is supposed to mail to me and MC Hammer!!!!

Bro, can you check with Simon or Arthur what happen to the Marigo Signatures that he is supposed to mail to me and MC Hammer!!!!
