Reviewed very favourably by Roy Gregory (hifi plus) these Audioplan Kontrast speakers are very rare and special.
They have had brand new woofers installed last year and have only been used for a few hours since.
I now have these installed in my system powered with my ATC SIA-2 150 amp. They sound much, much larger than there physical size suggests, throwing out a really wide and extraordinarily vivid soundstage. Bass is really extended and treble is really sweet, but the mid range is to die for. They also look amazing in the flesh, the finish is outstanding, they look as new really, the finish on the cabinets is the best I have ever seen, way above that of my ATC SCM35's. Seriously, you could listen to these forever and not get bored or fatigued by them, they are that good.
€1400.

Re: For Sale - Audioplan Kontrast 3
Sorry but I have to ask: what caused the previous woofers to blow? Still it's a very,very reasonable price you're selling them for....very tempting indeed. Best of luck with the sale.

Re: For Sale - Audioplan Kontrast 3
Will someone please buy these? Awesome sounding speaker - and fantastic value......
Do or do not, there is no try
Re: For Sale - Audioplan Kontrast 3
seconded. Derek had a pair for quite a while and they were the dog's danglies. They don't look as if they perform but they have an absolutely lovely sound. Serious bargain there.
Vinyl -anything else is data storage.

Re: For Sale - Audioplan Kontrast 3
Aw,lads please stop. Are they really that good? I believe they sound very Quad like but with decent bass....
Re: For Sale - Audioplan Kontrast 3
If I had the spare change, these would be going in my place.
