Need Impressions of SoundKaos Vox

@freediver thanks for your response. I saw your post but as you said nobody really provided any review/impressions of the speakers, hence I also asked the same question. It would be great if you could post the links where you found actual user reviews (not the reviewing sites such as Blue Moon, HiFi Knights etc, as I have already read those.)
I understand no return or no demo can be very frustrating to make a buying decision especially price is this high. I hope you are liking your SF Luminas.

Since only seller was not providing demo or return, did you directly contact Martin of SoundKaos asking him for demo or return policy? I have recently purchased Bakoon amp 13-R from him and found him to be a really nice guy and easy to deal with.
Would have loved to hear your thoughts on them if you would have purchased them. There are some guys in this forum who listened to Vox 3F at the California Audio Show in Oakland in 2019 (there is a separate link to the discussion) but none of them have posted any detailed impressions of them. I will try to tag them in this thread for their detailed impressions.
@pumper24 , @auxinput if you could post your detailed impressions of Vox 3F that you heard at California Audio Show, that would be very helpful as actual user impressions of these are a rarity.

@freediver thanks for the info. IMO Comparing a floor stander to bookshelf won't be a fair comparison. I had heard some Olympica floor stander at a show which was driven by some McIntosh integrated amp. Good sounding speaker, perfect for jazz or other relaxed music. But it had treble roll off for my taste (sparkle was missing on some of test tracks that I use for treble extension/harshness).

@russbutton Thanks a lot for your input. I already had the idea that it would be very difficult to remember how one speaker sounded from a show two years back. But thank you for replying.
Since you liked it then I am assuming that it did good job with midrange as that’s the area you focus most in a speaker (courtesy full range tang band driver). I agree that these are on expensive side but you also got it right that this is going to be the case given the fact that these are from a small boutique manufacturer based out of Switzerland & manufacturing (or assembling) speakers in Switzerland (not made in China for reducing cost or increasing profits).
I have a liking towards ribbon & amt tweeters, hence this design intrigued very much. I think its a very clever design by using full range driver for 200 to 10K Hz and then using Raal tweeter for highs above 10K and dual opposite side mounted bass drivers for duty below 200 Hz along with the folded transmission line to give really nice bottom end for a tiny stand mounter.
That Avalon Opus surely looks great but getting it here in India is going to be one major headache (due to weight for shipping and custom duties), besides I have a very small room, so having floor-stander is going to be challenging from space perspective as well as I fear it would be an overkill.
I know I can get a cheaper system using similar full range driver, but unfortunately I am not a DIY person. So I will have to rely on the manufacturers for a quality speakers.

@auxinput thanks for your input on Accuton drivers and Avalon speakers. I doubt there is any dealer of Avalon in India (so is the case with many good boutique manufacturers), so listening to them is going to be very difficult. Besides these are all floorstanders which are not going to be feasible given space constrain & they are going to be way out of my budget as well  (if I decide to buy a new one). Getting a used one is out of the question duty weight, size and customs (custom duty plays biggest role while importing audio gear here in India). Even if any dealer is having Avalon here, its surely going to be exorbitant (most items are sold at 50%-100% more price than US price, forget about dealer price at which they get).
Do you remember anything about SoundKaos Vox which you heard at  California Audio Show in 2019 and liked them. Your input would be very valuable as real world users/listeners feedback is almost non-existent for these speakers.

They are very attractive to me from design standpoint as well as being very tiny and not much of weight (approx 10-11 kg) makes them viable option for considering the option of Import as well. Besides whatever review I have found are positive.

so I managed to get review from one member in other website who had heard them at the same show. Below is the link to that mini review.

Ok, so I took a plunge in the month of October & got the speakers, Vox 3afw. I have written a mini review/impressions on a separate thread below.
 

 

@randyk you said it correctly..they are very dynamic and engaging in a tiny package...if you have a small room like me, I think this can very well be last speaker you need.
