Used – Amphion Argon 7LS Loudspeakers – Black

The Amphion Argon 7LS sit a little taller than most comparable speakers at 1160mm high but if you can accommodate that in your room you are in for a treat. One of the best speakers under £10,000 with superb detail and involvement. On first listen you could be think there was nothing that special on offer – particularly if you compare to attention grabbing speakers like KEF, Monitor Audio or B&W.  Listen a little longer and the rewards are clearly there  – much as we would expect in speakers four times the price. A superb balance that is rare at this price point with accurate bass that is not pushed to excite the room. A joy to listen to.   We have a set of Amphion Argon 7LS in black available pre-owned. In super condition and fully boxed these are an incredible speaker for the money – possibly unbeatable at the price. 

 

Floor standing Loudspeaker of Year 2020 by Hifi+ Magazine

The 7LS stands tall but still manages to sound three times bigger than it is. The Argon 7LS may not look like that much more than the Argon 3LS but the extra size supercharges the Amphion sound that we love. I have been a fan of Amphion for many a year and it is nice to see the award from HiFi+.

Argon7LS floorstanding loudspeaker is the largest model in Amphion’s Argon family of high-end home audio speakers. Argon7LS follows the trend of employing design and technologies from our professional studio monitor line. This approach provides extremely natural, transparent, and precise sound reproduction with deep emotional impact. Argon7LS ‘floorstanders’ deliver an exceptionally precise imaging and wide sweet spot, keeping the sound well-balanced even when you move around the room.

Argon7LS uses a passive radiator design which is also present in all Amphion studio monitors as well as Argon3S and Argon3LS home audio loudspeakers. Passive radiators eliminate the known problems associated with reflex cabinets, where the correct signal is always followed by an unwanted tail. Argon7LS design creates a more natural energy transfer, providing the listener with an improved physical connection to the music, even on lower listening levels.

Just like all Amphion loudspeaker models, Argon7LS uses the company’s signature approach to crossover design. Placed at 1600 Hz, the crossover is located outside the most sensitive human hearing range, allowing the use of the tweeter in that area, where our hearing is most perceptive. This way the speakers perform as point-sources, solving the problems we generally experience with coaxial or dual concentric designs, where the tweeter is housed in the moving “waveguide” ie. the woofer. The specifically designed waveguide creates an even dispersion, allowing you to immerse yourself into a room-wide sweet spot.

Amphion’s acoustic design together with the unique approach to crossover implementation, have proven their value in some of the finest recording, mixing, mastering, and postproduction facilities around the globe. Argon7LS loudspeaker uses very similar technologies and is fine-tuned for home use. This makes them the perfect alternative for audio enthusiasts who want to experience their recordings as the producer and artist intended.
