APS Monitors opinions

[nbot]

Hello everyone! Looking for some opinions/experiences with APS studio monitors. I'm especially interested in Aethers. I haven't seen any measurements for them besides Sound on Sound reviews and I'm curious how do they compare to some more established brands such as Neumann. Any help greatly appreciated - thanks.

No waveguide usually means the speaker's not worth pursuing.

I may have some old measurements in my archive.

I'd really love to see them

Two models below from Sound & Recording magazine. They are just ok. But the gulf from ok to excellent is deep. Self-noise at 10cm for both is 23.5dBA, 8.5dB higher than the 15dBA typical of Neumann's monitors, for example.

APS Coax

APS Aeon

Edit: Typo.

Thank you very much! Wasn't expecting much from Coax and Aeon was superceded by Aether which should be more or less the same with exception of some custom bass port on the back. So far looks like nothing special here...
