In Twang We Trust
or perhaps it's a lack of exposure & experience. AE was my first "real" Hi Fi speaker. I had the Aegis 1's and they are still one of my favorite monitors that I have ever owned. http://www.stereophile.com/standloudspeakers/239/index.html
I sit here this morning coveting two of their other models...
The AE1 Classic

and the AE1 mkIII SE

Those of us that have had AE speakers seem to really admire them, but for one reason or another they have never really "caught on" on this side of the pond. The Aegis 1' was the first small monitor that opened my eyes to the beauty of a well designed stand-mount speaker system and I miss them...anyway, just ruminating over coffee.
