Hi Srajan, in a recent letter sent to you, you were asked which of several speakers that you have reviewed was your favorite. Of the ones listed you stated that you loved the Acelec Model One… and you loved the sound|kaos 3a even more, for different reasons. Also on that list was the Aurai M3 but you made no mention of it. The review you wrote highly praised this speaker and you gave it a Blue Moon award so you obviously were very impressed with it. Since the cost of this speaker is within my budget (the Acelec Model One might also be doable), I would like to know where you would put it with respect to the Acelec and the sound|kaos 3a. Cheers, Peter Borelli
How could the Aurai M3 have been on my list but me having made no mention of it? I'm not sure I understand the question. I've gone to great lengths in each review to describe each speaker's main strengths or character to the best of my abilities. You'll have to triangulate between them wherever I didn't make direct comparisons. I sadly don't have time to write mini comparisons for readers curious about how 'A' compared to 'Q' to 'Y'. Our 18-year archives would make that an impossible enterprise. You are correct of course that I rate the Aurai in the same elite company of compact monitors I've reviewed more recently. Cheers, Srajan
I am still curious. If you had to choose between the sound|kaos Vox 3a, the Aurai M3 or M1 as the only speaker you could have, which of these three would you personally choose? This is a question that you have answered before in an interview. You said it was an easy question to answer and that you already had it. At that time it was the Boenicke W5se. I will not consider your answer a recommendation. In the end, I will make my own choice and will hold no one but myself responsible. Peter
It always depends on which room I would shop for. In the current house, upstairs it'd be the sound|kaos Vox 3a, downstairs it'd be the M1. Srajan
