Psych profile of the Argon Audio Forte A5…
♣ tonally earthy and coherent
♣ astonishing bass that's very mature for their size
♣ will play even 30m² spaces with adequate low frequencies
♣ due to this bass balance, not as SPL stable as other speakers of their size but gifted with sufficient reserves for normal use
♣ unexpectedly fluid elegant nearly creamy mids mated to good upper-mid presence
♣ brilliant resolution for the price. Only far costlier speakers will get noticeably airier.
♣ most generous well-sorted soundstaging includes the depth domain
♣ impress with comprehensive functionality (LAN/WLAN excepted)
♣ very well built and finished

… and Argon Audio SA1…
♣ pleasantly bassy warm voicing
♣ powerful low registers if not unusually controlled or sporty
♣ surprising bass pressure without running out of steam
♣ fundamentally well-defined midrange just a bit shy of the transparency of costlier fare
♣ quick and punchy on bass/mid attacks
♣ mild in the treble and soft in the upper treble without seeming dark or hooded
♣ SPL stable and well sorted
♣ impresses with comprehensive functionality (LAN/WLAN excepted)
♣ very well built and finished
