Arcs vs. Arcs

Posted by: kentonious on 24 January 2003

In USA, The Wilson Benesch Arcs and the Shahinian Arcs are about the same price: WB Arcs are US $3600(including stands) and the Shahinians are US $3200. In Dallas,TX, guess which ones are available to demo----only
the British one! Shahinian doesn't have a dealer even close. Anyway I understand these are two REALLY different sounding speakers. The WB sounded great at the end of a CD5/Flatcap2/Nait5 rig. Anyone heard both on a similar set-up or at least the Shahinians? I understand
the Shahin's to have a richer, fuller, more 'ambient' sound while perhaps not being as accurate as the WB's in some respect, but still
a very musical experience. Anyway, comments welcomed and best wishes from Dallas,TX.
