twwen2 Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 http://cgi.ebay.com....B:WNARL:AU:1123 Is anyone familiar with these speakers or the brand? They look well built but there doesn't seem to be much available in the way of info/reviews.
firefly0071 Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 German brand and distributed in Australia. The brand is regularly reviewed in overseas magazines etc and respected. Obviously a product not reviewed and placed on the internet does not mean that there are not considered reviews available. The speaker brand are $2k plus.
richard260 Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 They are a very good speaker maker audio physics.I have the scopions which are a very good speaker.I have not herd that model but if it has just some of the good sound mine have they would be good buy at that price. They are very well built from what ive herd with most of there speakers they throw a huge sound stage
Fangzie Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 I've heard the Yara II series, not the original Yara series, but I remember them being fairly good. Nice detail, timbre was good, a little lighter in the bass than some competing speakers, but overall with better clarity across the board
DigitalDave Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I've heard Yara's and one other model that i can't remember. The Yara's were hooked up with a McIntosh integrated amp and an Arcam CDP and sounded great. The other pair that ran off Moon components sounded really harsh and bright and I think listener fatigue set in almost immediately. But I liked the sound of the Yara's. Very detailed, but also had some bounce and musicality. I liked the slim profile, which would work well in my small-ish room. Had more than sufficient bass imo. I'd certainly consider them again when I go for another set of speakers.
haraldo Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) I heard a range of different models from Spark III, to Tempo III, Virgo V, Avanti IV, and more.... They're all extremely revealing, well done and performs exceedingly well. They developed their own physical cone damping mechanism in order to better try to deal with the harsh cone breakup's of the seas excel drivers.... the ACD (Active Cone Damping) is something you'll only find on the Audio physic products... it makes them able to utilize simple first order lowpass drivers even on the excel drivers, semmes like it works quite well to me..... http://www.audiophysic.de/ A demo of Spark III made me buy a Krell KAV 400xi amp, (to be paired with a set of Duntech speakers, though) the demo was a revelation to me, not sure if it was speakers, or amp or something else that was deciding factor, perhaps all of this, or perhaps Geir Tømmervik that's the manager and main chief at Oslo HiFi center..... He's repeatedly been the best Audio Physic dealer in North Europe, now he's the best Burmester dealer in North Europe, so I wonder..... perhaps it's not the speakers that's so good, but that Mr Tømmervik is so good in demoing, LOL ! Yara is low end model and I can't say anything about them as I never heard them, and they don't use the ACD at all.... Audio Physic was originally started by Joachim Gerhard, now he's out of Audio Physic but started another company sonics: http://www.sonicsonline.de/ Edited May 7, 2012 by haraldo
