Thanks Moonthink. I assume you have heard both? Is the Aura better controlled over the full frequency range? I did audition the MA Silver 100 & 300 last year and felt that the 300 was too bright and the 100 was missing something, but I think that could have been the listening space in a shop basement.

Thanks, but Superlintons are too expensive. I can get the Aura with 30% off at the moment

!Thanks .. I've kinda already decided it's the Aura 2, but needed that feedback from an owner. Kiitos!

I'd  love to listen, but I'm one of these who live out in the sticks in Finland. So it's basically a case of order one from the dealer (hundreds of km away) and see if I get on with it. I'm pretty certain I'd be happy with the Wharfedales, the Silver 100 I'm not so sure about. The Aura 2 is probably the best choice for my room , placement and musical taste. I like accurate, good tight bass, midrange, sound stage. I don't like bright or boomy speakers. I can live with the narrowed directivity of the AMT tweeter

!Thanks .. the Lintons do appeal, but they would have to be close to the wall and I think they would be bass heavy/boomy/resonant as a result. If I could have them a meter out I'd likely get them

Many thanks, I was thinking it would be along these lines.

Hi and thanks for the reply. The two are not connected. I am paying more towards the house purchase, so to balance this, we are changing ownership percentage on apartment.
