I was wondering if any of you fine scholars and maybe some of you ruffians have heard a set of these and if so, thoughts?

    I'd be curious to know those are near field monitors correct? There is a pair of Golden Ear Aon 3 in my neck of the woods I was curious about priced pretty good. I can tell you the big pair of Golden Ears I heard last year at Apoxona were terrible I couldn't get out of the room fast enough.

    I thought it was just me. Every pair I've ever heard were bright and I couldn't get them turned off fast enough. I don't even know the model numbers, but I've heard two pair so far in different settings.

    I’ve also heard Golden Ear on a number of occasions at different locations and haven’t been impressed. The set-up at Axpona was brutal.
